Delivering Vintage-Inspired Versatility – The PRS SE McCarty 594 Electric Guitar
The SE McCarty 594 is a versatile, vintage-inspired instrument that delivers both humbucking and single-coil tones in a reliable, roadworthy guitar. Thanks to its dual volume and push/pull tone controls, the SE McCarty 594 can seamlessly master humbucking and single coil sonic territories, so players can find all the tones they are looking for.
Its 58/15 LT “S” pickups are carefully designed to deliver warm, vintage-inspired tone with sweetness and clarity. The zinc two-piece bridge and vintage-style tuners anchor the SE McCarty 594 and stay true to its vintage promise, while the classic PRS body shape and bird inlays add a hint of modern style to this classic feature set. Other features include a bound 22-fret Pattern Vintage neck and slightly thicker back for more sustain. Designed to capture the heart of the McCarty family of instruments, the SE McCarty 594 is high-quality workhorse.
PRS Two-Piece Bridge
Made of zinc and brass, this bridge has four contact points and added mass, enhancing the natural tone of the guitar and helping to create a more resonant instrument.
PRS 58/15 LT “S” Pickups
“Low turn” pickups designed to PRS specifications offer vintage warmth and welcome clarity.
Vintage-Style Tuners
This instrument uses traditional closed-back tuners. This is by design to promote specific resonance.
