Built to honor the legacy of the McCarty instrument family, the PRS SE McCarty 594 Singlecut is a workhorse that delivers warm, vintage-inspired character. It's the kind of guitar that feels broken in from the very first note — familiar, responsive, and effortlessly musical.
Tone That Knows Its Roots
Good tone isn't complicated — it's just really hard to get right. The SE McCarty 594 Singlecut nails it with its 58/15 LT "S" pickups, which were purpose-built to capture the sweetness and clarity of vintage humbuckers without sounding like they're trying too hard. These pickups walk the line between warm and articulate with the confidence of someone who's been doing it for decades.
58/15 LT "S" Humbuckers: Designed to deliver rich, vintage-inspired tone with a natural sweetness and harmonic complexity that makes every chord feel like it means something.
Push/Pull Tone Controls: Coil-tap functionality unlocks nuanced single-coil tones at the pull of a knob, giving you two guitars' worth of sonic real estate without needing a second guitar stand.
3-Way Pickup Selector: Positioned on the upper bout for fast, intuitive switching mid-song — because fumbling for your pickup switch during a solo is nobody's best look.
A Neck That Plays Like a Handshake
First impressions matter, and the SE McCarty 594 Singlecut introduces itself through one of the most comfortable, player-friendly necks in its class. The Pattern Vintage profile hits that sweet spot between chunky and slim — enough meat to feel substantial, enough comfort to play all night without complaint.
Pattern Vintage Neck Profile: A slightly fuller carve that rewards players who like something to hold onto, promoting a natural hand position that reduces fatigue during long sessions.
24.594" Scale Length: Slightly shorter than a standard 25" scale, this measurement eases string tension and makes bending feel effortless — your fingers will thank you, probably with a solo.
Bound 22-Fret Fingerboard: Clean fret access, smooth edges, and a refined aesthetic that punches well above the guitar's price point.
Built to Last, Not Just to Look Pretty
The SE McCarty 594 Singlecut isn't a guitar you baby — it's one you gig with. Its hardware and construction are chosen for reliability, playability, and long-term performance, so you spend more time playing and less time tweaking.
Vintage-Style Tuners: Smooth, accurate, and stable — they keep you in tune through bends, vibrato, and the ambient chaos of a busy stage.
Two-Piece Bridge: Designed for reliable intonation and maximum string-to-body contact, contributing to the guitar's naturally sustaining voice.
Slightly Thicker Body Back: A subtle but meaningful design choice that adds resonance and sustain, giving notes a longer, more expressive decay that keeps the vintage vibe intact.
The SE McCarty 594 Singlecut: Classic Tone, No Fuss
The PRS SE McCarty 594 Singlecut is proof that great tone doesn't have to break the bank — it just has to be well thought out. Its 58/15 LT "S" pickups, Pattern Vintage neck, and sustain-friendly construction all work toward the same goal: putting great sound in your hands without the fuss. It handles vintage humbucker grit, sweet single-coil shimmer, and everything in between, all from a guitar that's genuinely fun to play.
If you want professional-quality feel and tone without the professional-grade price tag, the SE McCarty 594 Singlecut makes a pretty convincing argument for itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
This guitar is ideal for players who want warm, vintage-inspired tones in a reliable, well-built package. It performs equally well in studio and live settings, covering everything from blues and classic rock to jazz and country.
The push/pull tone control activates a coil-tap function, splitting the humbuckers into single-coil mode for a brighter, thinner tone. It essentially gives you two distinct tonal voices from one set of pickups.
The shorter scale reduces overall string tension compared to a standard 25.5" guitar, making bends easier and the feel slightly looser under your fingers. Many players find it more comfortable, especially for extended playing sessions.
While it's a serious instrument, its comfortable neck profile and forgiving scale length make it a great choice for intermediate players looking to upgrade. Beginners who invest in one won't outgrow it anytime soon.
The SE version captures the essential DNA of the Core model, including the scale length, neck profile, and pickup voicing, but at a significantly lower price point. The Core version uses higher-grade tonewoods and USA-made pickups, but the SE holds its own remarkably well for the money.
