PRS McCarty Singlecut 594 - £2850

PRS says of these:

“The McCarty family of guitars is born from passion and precision: built passionately to embody vintage appointments and tone while utilizing the precision of PRS’s modern manufacturing techniques. Whether you are looking for rich, authentic humbucking tones or nuanced, sweet single-coil sounds, the McCarty Singlecut 594 can seamlessly master both sonic territories thanks to the 58/15 LT pickups and push/pull coil taps on the tone controls. The electronics layout, a few key specifications, and PRS craftsmanship combine in the McCarty Singlecut 594 to create an instrument that plays in tune, is intonated the entire length of the neck, and feels like a guitar that you’ve been playing forever.

The McCarty Singlecut 594 has been meticulously spec’d to deliver a familiar feel and warm, vintage tone, featuring a bound, 22-fret, 24.594” scale length Pattern Vintage neck, a slightly thicker back for enhanced tone and sustain, and 58/15 LT treble and bass pickups, which have been through the TCI (tuned capacitance and inductance) process. 58/15 LT pickups offer exceptional clarity, focused midrange, and vintage character. The McCarty Singlecut 594 model is anchored by a zinc two-piece stoptail bridge with brass saddles and studs for added resonance and vintage-style tuners.

“One of my sayings is that everything that touches the string is God – well, that’s really the bridge, the nut, and the tuners. The updates to the McCarty family make a huge difference in their tone. The guitar sustains longer and the tone has more character,” said Paul Reed Smith.”

    I can speak to the quality of this guitar.

    I know there are some here that poke fun at the PRS brand but, truth is, they do make some rather good guitars ;)

    I was the first owner of this guitar but had to let it go for personal reasons along with a couple of other guitars that were sold through Sound Affects on commission (where I bought this guitar from, actually).

    This is an exceptional guitar. It is the best "core" PRS that I have ever played/owned.

    It does particularly excel at lead tones, and is no slouch in the rhythm department either. The coil splits provide flexibility, particularly for the gigging guitarist.

    It was one of the first SC 594s to receive the revised PRS bridge (sloped saddles versus block saddles) and has the nitro finish that was introduced for the 594 range (amongst others) replacing V12 - a major improvement.

    A hell of a lot of quality guitar for the money.

    GLWS!

    In two minds whether to sell.

    Re-listed, as I play my PJE 96 & Strat much more often, and this is too good a guitar to be sat unplayed.
