PRS Paul Reed Smith Artist Package McCarty Singlecut 594 Semi-Hollow Guitar, Faded Blue Jean

Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this Paul Reed Smith McCarty Singlecut 594 Semi-Hollow with an Artist Grade top that's really got some incredible figuring to it.

After Paul Reed Smith befriended and picked the brain of guitar pioneer Ted McCarty, the first PRS McCarty models came out in 1994. They incorporated many of the subtle but essential build techniques that Ted used to create some of the best electric guitars the world has played. After a brief hiatus from the core PRS lineup, the McCarty is back. It's a straightforward but effective design that embodies that classic mahogany body/dual humbucker sweetness with slinkiness from the shorter scale length. All in a body shape that will be familiar for Les Paul enthusiasts with a bit more of a modern look from the double-cut design. The back is a little thicker for increased tone and sustain, and two of Paul Reed Smith's best new vintage pickups pump out radiant sound in every register.

The new semi-hollow version scoops out some of the mid-range for a sound that can still stand out and cut through in the mix but will be able to also achieve a rounder, sweeter, and warmer sound than its fully solid-body counterpart. It gives a nice mellowness to the treble frequencies You'll also notice this is two or three pounds lighter than other McCarty 594's out there.

This is a player's axe that's built to be played day after day, but it's also an important part of the electric guitar's history and is carrying on the torch that Ted McCarty lit. This limited edition piece has a stunningly gorgeous flame maple 10-Top that will look awesome under stage lighting.

The electronics layout, a few key specifications, and PRS craftsmanship combine in the McCarty 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 Pattern Vintage neck has the same width measurements as PRS's Pattern neck but is slightly thicker front to back and features an asymmetrical carve with a little less meat on the bass side of the neck toward the nut end and a little less meat on the treble side of the neck from the twelfth fret to the heel.
