This guitar, part of the exclusive Private Stock line, is designed for musicians seeking a unique and superior playing experience, combining exceptional materials with meticulous construction.
The Northern Lights finish is a standout feature, inspired by the mesmerising colours of the aurora borealis. This striking finish showcases a gradient of blues, purples, and greens, elegantly transitioning across the highly figured maple top. The stunning visual effect is enhanced by the intricate grain patterns of the wood, making each guitar a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that is as beautiful to look at as it is to play.
The body of the McCarty 594 is crafted from select tonewoods, featuring a carved figured maple top paired with a mahogany back. This classic combination delivers a rich, resonant tone with a perfect balance of warmth, sustain, and clarity. The rosewood neck, with its comfortable "Pattern Vintage" profile, provides smooth playability and a familiar feel. Topped with a meticulously crafted fingerboard made from high-quality Brazilian rosewood, the neck enhances both the tactile experience and the tonal quality of the instrument.
Equipped with 58/15 LT pickups, the McCarty 594 offers a versatile range of sounds, from warm, vintage-inspired humbucking tones to bright, clear single-coil sounds. The precision electronics layout includes two volume and two tone controls with push/pull coil-splitting capabilities, allowing for a wide array of tonal options. The 24.594-inch scale length contributes to the guitar's unique feel and sound, providing a slightly shorter scale that enhances playability and intonation.
Additional high-end features of the PRS Private Stock McCarty 594 include the PRS two-piece bridge and Phase III locking tuners, ensuring superior tuning stability and ease of adjustment. The custom inlays, crafted from flamed maple, add an extra touch of elegance to the fingerboard, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail that goes into every Private Stock instrument.
