Electric guitar PRS McCarty 594 (Black Gold) #0403874

Electric guitar PRS McCarty 594 (Black Gold) #0403874 is one of the most refined and prestigious models in the Core line of PRS Guitars, which is made directly in the USA. This means the use of the highest quality materials, hand finishing and the strictest quality control.

The body of the guitar has an elegant shape with two cutaways and rounded «horns». At the same time, the body is slightly thicker than in PRS Custom models, which makes it closer to the classic instruments of the 50s. This contributes to a richer, louder and longer sound. The soundboard is made of mahogany, while the decorative overlay is made of figured maple. It is made in a black and gold finish and covered with glossy nitro-lacquer, which gives the instrument an impressive 3D look.

The guitar has a solid (one-piece) glued-in neck (Set Neck) made of mahogany. The Pattern Vintage neck profile is thicker and more rounded than modern profiles, which provides maximum vibration transfer and a vintage feel when playing. The 10-inch radius fingerboard is made of rosewood. At the same time, the neck has a faux ivory binding and 22 frets with bird-shaped markers. The guitar has a short scale length of 24.594 inches. This gives it a warm, rich tone and lighter string tension.

The instrument is equipped with two vintage McCarty III humbuckers, which provide a warm and rich tone. In terms of sound, they resemble classic PAF pickups, but with improved sound clarity. The guitar has four tone controls — two for volume and two for tone. At the same time, the tone controls have a Push/Pull function (coil cutoff), which allows you to turn humbuckers into singles. There is also a 3-way pickup switch on the top of the body.

The guitar is distinguished by high-quality fittings. It has a two-piece folding bridge with brass saddles and steel pins, which improves resonance and sustain. Nickel-plated PRS Phase III Non-Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons look elegant and ensure that the instrument stays in tune even with intensive use. In addition, the upper nut is made of natural bone, which also has a positive effect on the sound.
