    A popular Stevensville classic slims down the price tag while still offering a dynamic, coil-splitting, dual-humbucker doublecut.
    The SE McCarty 594 is a versatile, vintage-inspired instrument that delivers both humbucking and single-coil tones in a reliable, roadworthy guitar. Thanks to its dual volume and push/pull tone controls, the SE McCarty 594 can seamlessly master humbucking and single coil sonic territories, so players can find all the tones they are looking for.
    Its 58/15 LT “S” pickups were carefully designed to deliver warm, vintage-inspired tone with sweetness and clarity. The zinc two-piece bridge and vintage-style tuners anchor the SE McCarty 594 and stay true to its vintage promise, while the classic PRS body shape and bird inlays add a hint of modern style to this classic feature set. Other features include a bound 22-fret Pattern Vintage neck and slightly thicker back for sustain.
    Designed to capture the heart of the McCarty family of instruments, the SE McCarty 594 is high-quality workhorse instrument.

    Personally as a huge PRS guy, the McCarty 594 is the pinnacle of the PRS Core line.
    I have both a Core SC594 and double cut 594, both artist tops..
    And Now want one of the SE versions... I had an s2 594 but I just cant vibe with the s2 body carve so I sold it.

  • @gtr1952
    @gtr1952 Рік тому +5

    Thanks JB! Always great to get your opinion! According to Paul, 24.594 was the original LP scale, per Ted McCarty! I've been wanting a core, but dang, that's R8-R9 $$ I knew the SE was coming. So in November-ish when PRS offered a 1 time batch of the 58/15 LT pups (USA, same as core) I bought a set. ($500, ouch!) Even the USA made S 594 uses import pups! So I'm going to try an SE and swap the pups for USA ones. If I'm not happy with that, I'll buy an S 594 and put them in that. If all that fails I'll just buy the damn Core 594 LOL. But it makes a good story and I tried!! Thanks John, appreciate you!! --gary

      @gtr1952 I purchased the S2 594 a couple years back, extremely well made instrument to say the least. I would guarantee that if you put in those spendy pickups in the new se's that you or anyone for that matter could tell the difference between the core! You're on to something.....

    • @gtr1952
      @gtr1952 Рік тому +1

      @@barrymiller2272 Could tell the difference?? One difference I noticed between the SE and S is, on the S they cut both ends off, one end if flipped over and made a scarf joint for peg head angle, the other doubled for the heal. On the SE, they use 3 strips cut the long way (like a neck through) and glue them together. The 3 pc relieves any 'twist' in the wood and makes a stronger neck. Gibson and Guild did the same thing on some models. Yes, that $500 hurt, but IMHO that's half the tone!? I swapped pups in my R8 also. 8) --gary

    Here again we have a situation where the SE is so close to the original and we have to ask is the core $2000 better? It sure doesn't sound like it. I have the S2 Custom 24 and I love the fact that the pickups don't have that low end Les Paul humbucker thump. I just wish it was 2 volume, 2 tone because when I run both pickups I like to roll off some of the neck and get rid of some muck without getting ice picky. Just my opinion. I'm a gigging musician and I might have to look into one.

    I have the expensive version of this guitar, same colour and everything and I find it's playability absolutely horrendous. The strings are stiff as can be and bending is nothing less than a struggle. I've got 10 guitars, including the pros and it's the only one that feels this way. I absolutely hate the thing and as far as I'm concerned it was 5 grand wasted. I literally have a $700 Epiphone that puts the prs to shame.
