Bathed in a desert sands finish that glows over quilted maple, the PRS Private Stock McCarty 594 Singlecut electric guitar captures the spirit of refined craftsmanship and tonal depth. Its swamp ash body resonates with warmth and clarity, while a curly maple neck and fretboard add smooth articulation and sustain. A bone nut and a pair of 58/15 LT pickups produce touch-sensitive response and vintage-inspired character, perfect for both expressive leads and complex chords. Accented by amber lampshade knobs, ivory pickup rings, and natural binding, this meticulously built singlecut embodies precision, artistry, and musical soul—crafted to elevate every performance, onstage or in the studio.
Quilted Maple Top and Swamp Ash Body Shape Resonance
PRS selected a quilted maple top paired with swamp ash for the body, then finished both in high-gloss nitro. The maple grain adds a crisp attack to each note, while swamp ash provides depth and sustain. Natural body binding and a black wash with yellow grain highlight the wood’s visual character. This construction brings out high-end sparkle and strong midrange, supporting both lead and rhythm playing with clear definition.
Curly Maple Neck and Fretboard Enhance Playability
The neck and fretboard use curly maple shaped to a pattern vintage carve. A 24.594" scale and 10" radius support smooth slides and accurate bends. Black Delrin side dots and J bird inlays make fret positions easy to spot. High-gloss nitro finish keeps the neck slick and fast, while the matching veneer and fingerboard binding add a seamless feel. The bone nut and PRS standard fretwire optimize sustain and tuning stability.
Dual 58/15 LT Pickups and Intuitive Controls Refine Sound
Two covered 58/15 LT pickups deliver rich, expressive tone. The wiring features two volume and two push/pull tone controls, plus a three-way toggle on the upper bout. Amber lampshade knobs and ivory rings make adjustments simple, and the layout keeps controls within reach. PRS vintage locking tuners and a two-piece bridge maximize tuning consistency during heavy bends or rapid chord changes.
Durable Construction With Quality Materials
Every component, from the bone nut to the PRS two-piece bridge, is selected for longevity and performance. Curly maple binding on the fretboard and body keeps edges strong, while high-gloss nitro finishes protect wood grain from wear. The swamp ash body offers resilience against humidity changes. Keystone tuner buttons and nickel hardware stand up to regular gigging and travel. The guitar ships in a brown paisley hardshell case with a burgundy interior for safe storage.
