PRS SE McCarty 594 Singlecut Electric Guitar – Charcoal | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The PRS SE McCarty 594 Singlecut brings one of Paul Reed Smith's most celebrated and sought-after guitar platforms to an accessible price point — a resonant mahogany singlecut body with flame maple veneer top, a Pattern Vintage neck carve, the distinctive 24.594" scale length, and 58/15 LT "S" humbuckers that deliver the vintage-tinged warmth and dynamic sensitivity the McCarty 594 is legendary for. Maple body binding, PRS bird inlays, vintage-style 18:1 tuners, push/push coil-tap controls, and a gloss poly finish in Charcoal give the SE McCarty 594 Singlecut a visual refinement and tonal versatility that reach well beyond what most players expect from an SE-level instrument. At 7.95 lbs. with a set neck joint and individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, this is a guitar that rewards careful, expressive playing with the kind of vintage-inspired response that has made the McCarty 594 platform one of PRS's defining achievements.
Product Overview
The SE McCarty 594 Singlecut's mahogany body is the resonant foundation that defines its tonal character — warm, sustain-rich, and naturally mid-forward in the way that has made mahogany singlecut guitars the cornerstone of classic rock and blues tone for decades. The flame maple veneer top in Charcoal adds visual depth and dimension beneath the gloss poly finish while contributing a layer of brightness and articulation to the mahogany's inherent warmth. Maple body binding frames the instrument's perimeter with a clean, refined visual line that gives the SE McCarty 594 Singlecut an aesthetic closer to PRS's Core models than to typical SE production instruments — a detail that reflects the level of attention to appointments throughout this guitar.
The Pattern Vintage neck carve is one of PRS's most historically inspired profiles — fuller and more substantial than the Pattern Thin found on the Custom 24, with a depth that evokes the feel of classic late-1950s electric guitar necks and provides a confident, hand-filling grip that players who prefer a more vintage-inspired neck will find immediately satisfying. The set neck joint maximizes resonance transfer and sustain from neck to body, and the bound rosewood fingerboard runs a 10" radius across 22 nickel frets with PRS bird inlays — a playing surface that balances comfortable chord voicings with clean, accurate lead playing across the 24.594" scale length. This scale length — longer than a standard Gibson 24.75" and shorter than a Fender 25.5" — produces a distinctive feel and tension that sits in its own unique territory, with slightly more note clarity and definition than a shorter scale while retaining the warmth and playability that singlecut mahogany guitars are known for.
The 58/15 LT "S" humbuckers are voiced for vintage-inspired tone with a lower output profile that prioritizes touch sensitivity, dynamic response, and harmonic richness over raw power — pickups that reward expressive playing and respond clearly to volume and tone control adjustments. Individual volume and tone controls for each pickup give players precise, independent tonal shaping across the full pickup selector range, and push/push coil-tap functionality on all four controls adds single-coil voice options that expand the SE McCarty 594 Singlecut's tonal range significantly beyond what the standard humbucker configuration alone can deliver. The PRS 2-piece bridge provides solid string anchoring with precise intonation adjustment, and vintage-style 18:1 PRS-designed tuners maintain reliable, stable tuning.
Ideal For
- Blues, classic rock, and vintage-inspired players who want the warmth, dynamic sensitivity, and vintage tonal character of the McCarty 594 platform in an accessible SE format
- Players who prefer a fuller Pattern Vintage neck carve and the distinctive 24.594" scale length's unique feel over standard Gibson or Fender scale alternatives
- Guitarists who use their volume and tone controls actively as tone-shaping tools and want a pickup system that responds dynamically and expressively to those adjustments
- Intermediate to professional musicians seeking a well-appointed PRS singlecut with individual pickup controls, coil-tap capability, and maple binding at a competitive price point
- Guitarists in Idaho Falls looking for a visually refined, tonally versatile PRS SE singlecut that captures the essential character of one of Paul Reed Smith's most beloved Core models
Key Features
PRS 58/15 LT "S" Humbuckers with Push/Push Coil-Tap The 58/15 LT "S" humbuckers are voiced for vintage-inspired tone with a lower output profile that maximizes touch sensitivity and dynamic response — rewarding expressive playing with harmonic richness and natural clarity. Push/push coil-tap on all four controls adds single-coil voices across the full pickup selector range for expanded tonal versatility.
24.594" Scale Length with Pattern Vintage Neck Carve The distinctive 24.594" scale length occupies its own tonal territory — producing slightly more note clarity and definition than a shorter scale while retaining the warmth and feel of a traditional singlecut mahogany platform. The Pattern Vintage neck carve adds a fuller, more substantial grip inspired by late-1950s electric guitar neck profiles.
Mahogany Body with Flame Maple Veneer Top The resonant mahogany body delivers the warm, sustain-rich, mid-forward tonal character that defines the McCarty 594 platform, while the flame maple veneer top adds visual depth and a layer of brightness and articulation to the overall tonal balance.
Individual Volume and Tone Controls for Each Pickup Two volume and two tone controls — one for each pickup — provide independent, precise tonal shaping across both pickups and throughout the 3-way toggle's full range, giving players the kind of nuanced control that rewards careful attention to the relationship between pickup balance and tonal character.
Maple Body Binding with PRS Bird Inlays Maple body binding and PRS bird fingerboard inlays on a bound rosewood fingerboard give the SE McCarty 594 Singlecut a visual refinement that reflects PRS's Core model aesthetic — appointments more commonly associated with significantly higher price points.
Set Neck Construction with PRS 2-Piece Bridge The set neck joint promotes enhanced sustain and resonance transfer from neck to body, while the PRS 2-piece bridge provides solid string anchoring and precise intonation adjustment — hardware and construction choices that contribute meaningfully to the guitar's resonant, sustain-rich tonal character.
