Paul Reed Smith 2022 Singlecut McCarty 594

"I long for that rich, warm, premium tone that vintage single-coil pickups offer." But aren’t you compromising somewhere—whether it’s unstable pitch, difficulty playing in the higher frets, or the lack of practicality in today’s music scene? The allure of that classic tone versus the high level of playability expected from modern guitars—there are surely many players struggling to find a balance between the two.

While the sound of vintage guitars is magnificent, issues like finicky tuning and intonation problems can cause minor stress on stage or in the recording studio. The sound is incredible, but using them in real-world situations requires a certain level of commitment. It’s truly a shame when that dilemma gets in the way of your hard-earned inspiration.

The McCarty Singlecut 594 is the pinnacle of the Singlecut series, perfectly eliminating that stress by fusing a passion for vintage guitars with PRS’s overwhelming technical prowess. It boasts astonishingly accurate pitch while offering an exceptional level of familiarity—from the moment you pick it up, it feels like a beloved instrument you’ve played for years.

When a guitarist truly engages with their instrument, they’ll find every detail packed with a level of craftsmanship that makes you involuntarily sigh in admiration.

The exquisite 24.594-inch scale length and thick neck create a perfect combination of the unique scaling that inspired the model’s name and the slightly thicker-backed Pattern Vintage neck. This not only provides a reassuring grip but also delivers deep resonance and rich sustain throughout the entire body.

This is the quintessential humbucker, yet it features the superb 58/15 LT+ single-coil pickup. Not only does it deliver a vintage-style humbucker sound with clear, rich mids, but the single-coil sound activated by the push/pull tone knob is truly exceptional. You can seamlessly control a nuanced, sweet tone—one that never feels thin—right at your fingertips.

An evolved tone achieved through lightweight components. As PRS founder Paul says, “Everything that touches the strings is important,” and his dedication to hardware is extraordinary.In addition to a two-piece bridge featuring brass saddles and studs, it features the lightweight tuners recently updated by PRS. By making the tuners themselves lighter and adopting a non-locking design, they have dramatically reduced string vibration loss, successfully producing a more musical and longer sustain.

This instrument revives the expertise of Ted McCarty—who supported Gibson’s golden age and served as Paul’s mentor—through PRS’s craftsmanship. It is a masterpiece crafted for the discerning, seasoned guitarist who loves the classic single-cutaway look and tone, yet demands perfect tuning and pitch in every position so they can focus entirely on their performance.

A PRS masterpiece that embodies the spirit of vintage guitars while being brought to life with modern technology for a stress-free playing experience. Experience for yourself the overwhelming playability and tone—once you’ve played it, there’s no going back.
