Product Detail
The SE McCarty 594 is a highly versatile, vintage-inspired electric guitar. It can effortlessly switch between humbucking and single-coil tones, thanks to its dual volume and push/pull tone controls. This means you can easily find all the tones you want. The 58/15 LT “S” pickups are carefully crafted to offer warm, vintage tones with great clarity. The zinc two-piece bridge and vintage-style tuners not only anchor the guitar but also keep its vintage charm, while the classic PRS body shape and bird inlays add a modern touch. It also features a bound 22-fret Pattern Vintage neck and a slightly thicker back for better sustain. The SE McCarty 594 is a high-quality workhorse that captures the essence of the McCarty instrument family. The PRS two-piece bridge, made of zinc and brass, has four contact points and extra mass, enhancing the guitar's natural tone and resonance. The vintage-style tuners are designed to promote resonance. The 58/15 LT “S” pickups offer vintage warmth and clear sound. Specifications include a solidbody construction with a maple top, flame maple veneer, and mahogany back. The neck has 22 frets, a 24.594” scale length, and is made of bound mahogany. The hardware is nickel-plated, and the electronics feature two 58/15 LT “S” pickups, two volume, and two push/pull tone controls with a 3-way toggle pickup switch. It comes with PRS Classic 10-46 strings, standard tuning, and a gig bag.
Using your Paul Reed Smith SE McCarty 594 is a breeze. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned to standard tuning (E, A, D, G, B, E). You can use the vintage-style tuners to adjust the pitch of each string. To change between different tones, use the two volume and two push/pull tone controls along with the 3-way toggle pickup switch on the upper bout. For a warmer, vintage sound, try the humbucking mode. If you prefer a brighter, more single-coil sound, switch to the appropriate setting. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar clean by wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood and electronics. You may also want to change the strings regularly, about every few months depending on how often you play. The PRS Classic 10-46 strings are recommended for this guitar. If you need to adjust the truss rod or make any other major adjustments, it's best to take your guitar to a professional guitar technician. Enjoy playing your SE McCarty 594 and creating amazing music!
