With the McCarty 594 Charcoal Jade Burst Paul Reed Smith complements the Core Models series manufactured in Stevensville, Maryland with a flexible electric guitar with the magic of classic vintage instruments. The McCarty 594, for example, has a scale length of 24,594", which meets the golden middle between authentic vintage timbre and comfortable playability, while the classic combination of mahogany body and glued neck promises particularly warm sound components. Further highlights are the solid curly maple top and the PRS 58/15 humbuckers with flexible coil split circuit.
Like all guitars from the noble forge in Maryland, the PRS McCary 594 also convinces with flawless workmanship and a first-class choice of wood. The most striking feature is undoubtedly the particularly vividly drawn curly maple top, whose special Charcoal Jade Burst finish changes from the rich green at the edge of the body to timeless black. Great care is also taken when selecting the mahogany for the body and the glued neck.
Finding the perfect scale length took a not insignificant part of the development time of the PRS McCarty 594. After countless experiments and a series of prototypes, the decision was made for an exact 24,594" or 624.69 mm, which give the electric guitar its name and strike the golden balance between authentic vintage sound development and outstanding playing comfort. This is further supported by the "Pattern Vintage" profile of the neck, which nestles comfortably in the hand with its strong curves in "C" form.
The McCarty 594 Charcoal Jade Burst is also particularly flexible on the amplifier. Here the PRS 58/15 Low Turns low output humbuckers, whose winding wire is produced on an original machine from the 1950s, deliver a particularly warm vintage sound, whose enormous clarity and mid-presence bring every note to life. The push/pull switches in the tone controls, which split the humbuckers into single coils, provide bell-like clear tone nuances, can also be used to call up additional tones.
The Paul Reed Smith McCarty 594 Charcoal Jade Burst is completed by high-quality hardware equipment from our own company, whose timeless nickel finish underlines the noble appearance of the electric guitar. For example, the PRS Tweaked Phase III mechanisms are used on the headstock, whose gearwheel and worm are pulled together via an additional screw to ensure more direct resonance transmission to the instrument. On the body is also the PRS 2-Piece Stoptail, which consists of a tailpiece with strings to be suspended from above and an adjustable bridge with brass string riders.
