Exceptional components

The SE Singlecut McCarty 594 boasts the top-shelf tonewoods PRS guitars are known for, including a resonant mahogany body and an eye-grabbing flame maple veneer top. Its mahogany neck features a comfortable asymmetrical Pattern Vintage profile, while its 22-fret, 10-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard facilitates effortless playability. And this guitar's strings will always feel silky smooth when playing and bending due to its 24.594-inch scale length, which is also where this model of McCarty gets its name!

Pattern Vintage profile neck for enhanced playability

Some of the least visible but most powerful features of the SE Singlecut McCarty 594 include a neck feel that maximizes your performance and comfort with an asymmetrical Pattern Vintage profile. Though much like their Pattern profile, PRS's Pattern Vintage carve is slightly thicker to fill your hand in just the right way. And the strings will always feel silky smooth when playing and bending due to the guitar's 24.594-inch signature McCarty scale length — the origin of the "594" in the model name.

PRS-designed 58/15 LT "S" humbucking pickups

The PRS SE Singlecut McCarty 594's 58/15 LT "S" pickups balance vintage character with modern clarity to deliver the sweet yet articulate sound and rich harmonic overtones of vintage humbuckers. This is the warm and clear sonic elixir that propelled 58/15 LT "S" pickups to the top of many guitarists' favorite PAF-style pickup lists. Beyond that, the lower wire turns of 58/15 LT "S" pickups dish out clarity and nuance by the truckload. Featuring a meaty bridge pickup and neck pickup with the perfect amount of brightness, the 58/15 LT "S" set packs a real sonic punch, from chiming cleans to scorching leads. Guitarists at Music Experience love these pickups. You will, too.
