SE McCarty 594 Laurel Burl Limited Edition - Vintage Sunburst

From Paul Reed Smith:

"The PRS SE McCarty 594 is designed to capture the essence of vintage guitar tones while delivering modern reliability. Named after Ted McCarty, the legendary guitar pioneer who influenced Paul Reed Smith’s early designs, this model strikes a balance between classic character and contemporary playability. This limited edition features a striking laurel burl veneer, adding a unique look to this popular model.

At its core, the SE McCarty 594 features a mahogany body with a maple top, combining warmth and sustain with a touch of brightness. The Pattern Vintage mahogany neck provides a familiar yet refined feel, while the rosewood fingerboard, adorned with PRS bird inlays, offers smooth playability across all 22 frets. The 24.594” scale length—just slightly shorter than typical PRS models—contributes to its vintage feel, adding to the guitar’s natural warmth and character.

Equipped with PRS 58/15 LT “S” pickups, the SE McCarty 594 Laurel Burl Limited Edition delivers clarity and fullness in equal measure. These pickups are designed to evoke the tones of the iconic instruments from the ‘50s, with the ability to handle both clean and overdriven settings with ease. The push/pull tone controls further enhance the guitar’s versatility, allowing players to access both humbucking and single-coil tones in one instrument. With a two-piece bridge and vintage-style tuners, the SE McCarty 594 Laurel Burl Limited Edition offers solid intonation and tuning stability.

Only 500 of these instruments will be made for 2025."
