PRS SE McCarty 594 Electric Guitar - Black Gold Burst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The PRS SE McCarty 594 electric guitar brings the tonal excellence and refined playability of Paul Reed Smith's iconic design to players seeking professional-grade performance at an accessible price point. This 6-string solidbody features the classic mahogany body and flame maple veneer combination that delivers warm, resonant lows with articulate high-end clarity. Perfect for intermediate to professional guitarists, the SE McCarty 594 excels across rock, blues, and jazz applications where tonal versatility and expressive playing are paramount.
Product Overview
The SE McCarty 594's construction centers on a mahogany body topped with a stunning flame maple veneer, finished in an eye-catching Black Gold Burst gloss polyurethane that showcases the natural wood grain. This traditional tonewood pairing provides the foundation for the guitar's balanced voice, offering the warmth and sustain mahogany is known for while the maple top adds snap and definition to cut through any mix.
The set-neck design features a mahogany multi-ply neck with exceptional stability and a Pattern Vintage profile that offers a slightly chunky feel favored by players who prefer substantial neck carves. The rosewood fingerboard sports a versatile 10-inch radius that accommodates both rhythm playing and lead work with equal ease, while the 24.594-inch scale length provides a slightly slinkier feel that makes string bending more effortless compared to standard 25.5-inch scale guitars.
At the heart of this instrument's sound are the PRS 58/15 LT "S" humbuckers, which capture vintage PAF-style warmth with enhanced note-to-note clarity. Push-pull tone controls unlock coil-split tones, transforming these humbuckers into bright, articulate single-coils. Hardware includes a rock-solid PRS 2-piece bridge and stoptail combination for enhanced sustain and resonance, while PRS-designed tuners ensure reliable tuning stability for both stage and studio work.
Ideal For
- Blues and rock players seeking vintage-inspired tones with modern clarity and responsiveness
- Intermediate guitarists advancing to professional-quality instruments with exceptional build quality
- Studio musicians requiring tonal versatility through coil-splitting and dual humbucker configurations
- Touring performers who need reliable, road-worthy guitars with superior tuning stability
- Players transitioning from standard scale instruments who appreciate the easier string bending of a shorter scale length
Key Features
Classic Tonewood Construction
The mahogany body and flame maple veneer top deliver the time-tested tonal foundation that has defined countless classic recordings. This combination provides rich midrange warmth, solid low-end punch, and articulate treble response that works beautifully with both clean and overdriven amplifier tones.
Pattern Vintage Neck Profile
The slightly chunky Pattern Vintage neck carve offers a substantial feel that many players find comfortable for extended playing sessions. The multi-ply mahogany construction ensures exceptional stability across temperature and humidity changes, while the 10-inch radius rosewood fingerboard accommodates various playing techniques from aggressive bends to smooth jazz chords.
Versatile 58/15 LT "S" Pickups
These slightly underwound humbuckers capture the magic of 1950s PAF-style pickups while adding contemporary note clarity and definition. The coil-split function accessed through push-pull tone controls provides genuine single-coil tones, effectively giving you four distinct voices from two pickups for maximum tonal flexibility.
Enhanced Sustain and Stability
The PRS 2-piece bridge and stoptail combination maximizes string-to-body contact for improved sustain and resonance. Combined with PRS-designed tuners featuring a synthetic and bronze powder blend nut, this hardware package ensures your guitar stays in tune through aggressive playing and frequent position changes.
24.594-Inch Scale Length
This shorter scale length compared to standard Fender-style guitars offers reduced string tension, making bending easier and providing a slightly warmer, fuller tone. The 22 nickel silver frets provide excellent wear resistance and smooth playability across the entire fingerboard.
