A Singlecut McCarty 594 for the Masses

The Singlecut McCarty 594 is one of Paul Reed Smith's most popular models, and now, thanks to the PRS SE Singlecut McCarty 594, it's finally accessible to the masses. This exquisite solidbody electric guitar boasts legendary PRS quality and playability. A resonant mahogany body and an eye-grabbing flame maple veneer top ensure a tone and look that's guaranteed to exceed your expectations. You get a comfortable Pattern Vintage neck carve with an easy-playing 10-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard, along with a longer 24.594-inch scale length for a feel that's like no other. The SE Singlecut McCarty 594's 58/15 LT "S" pickups deliver vintage-tinged humbucking tones, while a 4-knob layout allows individual control of each pickup's volume and tone for maximum sonic versatility. You also get a high-quality PRS 2-piece bridge and PRS-designed tuners, plus attractive maple body binding and iconic PRS Birds fingerboard inlays. Finally, a durable, head-turning gloss poly finish ensures that the SE Singlecut McCarty 594 will look amazing for years to come.

Exceptional components

The SE Singlecut McCarty 594 boasts the top-shelf tonewoods PRS guitars are known for, including a resonant mahogany body and an eye-grabbing flame maple veneer top. Its mahogany neck features a comfortable asymmetrical Pattern Vintage profile, while its 22-fret, 10-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard facilitates effortless playability. And this guitar's strings will always feel silky smooth when playing and bending due to its 24.594-inch scale length, which is also where this model of McCarty gets its name.

PRS-designed 58/15 LT "S" humbucking pickups

The PRS SE Singlecut McCarty 594's 58/15 LT "S" pickups balance vintage character with modern clarity to deliver the sweet yet articulate sound and rich harmonic overtones of vintage humbuckers. This is the warm and clear sonic elixir that propelled 58/15 LT "S" pickups to the top of many guitarists' favorite PAF-style pickup lists. Beyond that, the lower wire turns of 58/15 LT "S" pickups dish out clarity and nuance by the truckload. Featuring a meaty bridge pickup and neck pickup with the perfect amount of brightness, the 58/15 LT "S" set packs a real sonic punch, from chiming cleans to scorching leads. Guitarists at Sweetwater love these pickups. You will, too.

PRS quality in every guitar

All Paul Reed Smith guitars are designed for performance, right out of the case — and the SE Singlecut McCarty 594 is no exception. Constructed from high-quality tonewoods and components, PRS instruments carry on a commitment to quality that's been the brand's hallmark since 1985, when Paul Smith began crafting guitars for some of the most elite players in the world. In fact, you'll often see a PRS SE in the touring rigs of the most well-respected PRS artists in the world.

Rated 5/5

This guitar punches WAY ABOVE its weight class!

From Pawnshop Wood to PRS Perfection: As a 30-year guitar veteran, I've owned everything from bargain bin "guitars" to iconic brands like Jackson, Parker Fly, and the holy trinity of Strats, Teles, and Les Pauls. Sadly, fate intervened in the form of an apartment fire, taking some irreplaceable treasures with it. My musical journey shifted after that, becoming more about enjoyment and value than chasing the highest (or lowest) end of the spectrum. Enter the PRS McCarty 594 SE Singlecut – a guitar that delivers exceptional value for players of all levels.

Worth the Wait and Every Penny: I snagged this beauty in late December, even with a backorder. But trust me, it was well worth the wait. Right out of the box, it blew me away. The setup was flawless, the neck felt like a dreamy blend of vintage comfort and modern playability, and the pickups sounded so good, that I can't imagine needing to replace them anytime soon.

Joy in Every Note: Playing this guitar is pure joy. The Black Gold finish with brass bridge appointments is elegantly classy, and the included gig bag is a surprisingly high-quality bonus at this price point. PRS truly hit a home run with the McCarty 594 SE, setting a new standard for exceptional value across all skill levels and budgets.

Beyond the Guitar: A huge shoutout goes to Colin I. and the Sweetwater team. Shopping with them for almost a decade has been a pleasure. Their expertise, passion for music, and dedication to supporting musicians remind me of the legendary Manny's and Sam Ash shops on West 48th Street back in the day. Thanks to PRS, Colin I., and Sweetwater for making 2024 start on a high note!

GORGEOUS

I just received my PRS SE single cut McCarty 594 in Black Gold. OH, MY is it ever beautiful. Very rich and warm looking. Of course, it plays and sounds incredible. It's set up exactly how I would do it myself. The thicker neck will take a little getting used to but I'm not at all worried about that. The packing was top notch as well. There was plenty of cushion on top of being in a gig bag and double boxed. My rep. Tyler Moore was very good at notifying me of the timeline for shipping. The guitar had just arrived and still needed to go through Sweetwaters inspection process which is a very nice touch. The guitar shipped the very next day and arrived the day after that and is quite happy in its new home. I look forward to logging some serious hours on this guitar. Thank you, Tyler, and thank you Sweetwater.

The fretwork on this guitar is top notch. fit and finish are very good. I could not find one single flaw. the set up was perfect out of the box. usually i have to adjust the action a bit but not on this guitar. Hats off to Sweetwater and PRS.

PRS McCarty

Great guitar. Sounds, looks and plays great. Will definitely purchase another PRS. Top quality for the money.

You don't even have to play guitar to know that PRS instruments are in a league of their own. With their exquisitely figured tops and premium appointments, each PRS is a playable work of art. But it goes way deeper than the surface. Every time Paul visits Sweetwater, we get a deeper look at his amazing instruments. We've even hosted several PRS Custom Shop events, complete with Paul's personal Wood Library! Whether they're his most affordable SE electric guitars, top-quality acoustics, or amps, it's always amazing to see what PRS comes up with. What's more, we keep a ton of PRS guitars in our amazing Guitar Showroom, so the staff at Sweetwater can get hands on with all of their latest models. We'd love to tell you all about them.
