PRS McCarty 594 Orange Tiger

The McCarty 594 in a Gold Top version: a PRS match made in heaven! What a beauty..

The Gold Top is perhaps one of the classiest finishes from the Paul Reed Smith line, and we think it is a great match with this PRS McCarty 594. Since its introduction a few years ago, the McCarty 594 has become a true classic within the PRS lineup. The guitar takes the second part of its name from its 24,594-inch scale length, and is inspired by vintage LP-style guitars from the 1950s. However - as befits PRS - this traditional formula has been given a new, more reliable and innovative look. Consider, for example, the 58/15 LT pickups that can be switched from humbucker to single coil via push/pull potentiometers for a wide range of beautiful, vintage-oriented tones. These Low Turn humbuckers have a somewhat milder output than most double-coil pickups, which produces an incredibly warm sound with just the right amount of definition. These pickups have always been insane, but thanks to the new TCI tuning, the split-coil settings sound even more convincing. In addition, the McCarty 594 is equipped with the special "pattern vintage" neck profile. This profile is a combination of the finest '50s necks, but has the unique feature that it ends asymmetrically. This means that the neck at the higher frets is slightly thicker on the bass side than on the treble side, so that the neck will lie comfortably in the hand over its entire length. And also underestimate the effect of the PRS Two-Piece Cast Zinc bridge. This bridge sounds a lot fuller than many TOM bridges, and therefore has a huge impact on the overall sound. The traditional combination of a mahogany body and neck, maple top and rosewood fingerboard completes the whole. The latest 594 models are equipped with Vintage-Style tuners (no more locking tuners), the aforementioned CAB finish and the TCI-tuned pickups. In our opinion, these upgrades give the guitar an even more traditional feel, without compromising on the modern and reliable character of PRS. Totally awesome!
