PRS SE McCarty 594 Electric Guitar - Faded Blue

A McCarty 594 for the Working Musician

The PRS SE McCarty 594 electric guitar marks the model's debut within the SE series, bringing the tonal might and effortless playability of one of Paul's most iconic models to the masses! Just like its Core line siblings, this 6-string boasts an elegant tonewood pairing of mahogany and maple a time-tested combo that imparts both warmth and definition to your every note. Next, a pair of low-wind 58/15 LT "S" pickups take the old-school magic of '50s-style humbuckers straight into the 21st century with an extra helping of clarity and articulation. Looking for a rock-solid gigging guitar? A PRS 2-piece bridge and PRS-designed tuners bookend the SE McCarty 594 with enhanced sustain and exceptional tuning stability. The rosewood-topped-mahogany neck rounds out this guitar's feature set with a slightly chunky Pattern Vintage profile that's sure to please thumb-over-neck players and fans of vintage-style neck carves.

Time-tested tonewood combination

From their one-of-a-kind Private Stock custom creations to their SE line, PRS is wholeheartedly dedicated to the idea that superior tonewoods result in superior tone. This SE McCarty 594 more than fulfills that philosophy with a tonewood combination that can trace its lineage all the way back to the early '50s: maple-topped mahogany. The mahogany forms the core of this guitar's body, adding heft and weight to your every note; in contrast, the maple top imparts an articulate edge that allows everything from single-note lines to roaring rhythm work to cut right through a band situation. It's a formidable tonewood duo, and there's a good reason why the vast majority of PRS guitars harness its sonic potential!

Pattern Vintage profile neck for enhanced playability

Some of the least visible but most powerful features of the SE 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.
