The 2023 PRS McCarty 594 in Charcoal Burst with a 10-top maple veneer is a lightly used trade-in that looks and plays nearly new. Built with a bound 22-fret Pattern Vintage neck and a slightly thicker carved back, the McCarty 594 emphasizes sustain and tonal depth while remaining very playable. This example weighs 8 lb 5 oz and features PRS’s updated nitrocellulose finish and TCI‑tuned 58/15 LT humbucking pickups, giving it enhanced harmonic complexity, improved sustain and a touch-responsive dynamic range. The controls are dual volume and push/pull tone for coil-splitting and tonal versatility, and a two-piece zinc bridge and quality tuning hardware help maintain accurate intonation and string stability.
Sonically the McCarty 594 covers vintage humbucker warmth and clear single-coil‑like voicings when split, making it suitable for blues, rock, jazz and more contemporary styles. The combination of the Pattern Vintage neck profile, the nitro finish, and the TCI-processed pickups yields a guitar that feels familiar immediately and responds well to touch and pickup/amp changes. It’s a great option for a player wanting a modern take on classic PRS McCarty tone with updated electronics and a refined aesthetic.
