Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up yet another drop-dead gorgeous beauty from our friends over at Paul Reed Smith!

As one of PRS's top independent dealers, we often have the privilege of heading out to their factory in Maryland to pick out all of the woods and specifications for a unique and exclusive run of guitars that can only be purchased through our shop! Here's the latest offering in our wood library vault.

The feel of an all-rosewood neck simply can't be beaten. And, of course, Brazilian rosewood happens to also be the holy grail of tonewoods. The neck is absolutely divine from top to bottom and the tone of this guitar is snappy and bright while having lots of warmth and presence in the bottom end. We've always been huge fans of all-rosewood necks both for the way they feel in your hand and for the tone that they add. It's a great classic tone with some elevated aesthetics and boutique tonewoods.

When we were at the PRS factory putting this run of Wood Library guitars together, Paul Reed Smith was still in the development stages of the new 58/15+ pickups. After hearing some snippets of it, we knew we wanted those in this run of guitars. Currently, these are only being offered in the singlecut models so this makes these doublecut McCarty 594's even more unique. The 58/15+ pickups retain all of that wonderful PAF goodness that the 58/15's recreated but they have a little more presence and extra brightness to them that gives them a bit more versatility, especially if you start to add some gain to your tone. They sound absolutely rockin' and are full and lush!

Every vibration is efficiently and effectively transferred from headstock to strap button and everything in between. While this is certainly a guitar that's easy on the eyes, the playability and tone match the looks in every way. This is an instrument that leaves nothing to be desired.

Special Features

The McCarty 594 is a versatile, vintage-inspired instrument that is effortlessly playable. Featuring a bound 22-fret Pattern Vintage neck and slightly thicker back for more enhanced tone and sustain, the McCarty 594 plays in tune, is intonated the entire length of the neck, and feels like a guitar you’ve been playing forever. Whether you are looking for rich, authentic humbucking tones or nuanced, sweet single-coil sounds, the McCarty 594 can seamlessly master both sonic territories thanks to its 58/15 LT pickups, which have now been through the TCI (tuned capacitance and inductance) process, and dual volume and push/pull tone controls. A zinc two-piece bridge and vintage-style tuners anchor this guitar and stay true to the promise of the McCarty family.

There are several appointments on this guitar that make this truly an exclusive piece:
Hand Selected Flame Maple Top / Lightweight Hand Selected Mahogany Body / Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard / East Indian Rosewood Neck / Paua Outline Inlays / 58/15+ Pickups / Satin Autumn Sky Finish
