I recently purchased a 594 Singlecut and it is just an amazing instrument with fabulous tones. Those four middle positions are so versatile with the separate volume/tone controls. The sustain on this guitar is off the charts. I clocked it at 44 seconds on the D string.
My favorite guitar of all time! It’s vintage while successfully being modern at the same time. And in terms of flexibility, what can be achieved with this instrument is absolutely inspiring. Favorite neck carve, favorite scale. Favorite pickups! As for tuning buttons…I like the material (though isn’t it what the previous buttons had?). But…the vintage shape of the predecessor is more my flavor.
Having a tough time deciding between this and the simpler McCarty :( this guitar inspires me more but the volume knobs don’t have treble bleed like my Special Semi hollow. Any tips internet?
@@07Shanks07 I don’t want to appear to bad mouth the store but I bought it online, from a privately owned store. I’d bought from them before. They basically said the same thing, “yeah it happens sometimes”. I didn’t want to return it, I figured it was a bad setup and I thought I could get it fixed by a local luthier but it’s the same story. One place offered the option of plek’ing it but said there’s no guarantee that would fix it. But PRS’s response was a let down, I figured they’d address it somehow.
@@gd9986Bad to hear that they had this problem from the get go, but honestly your fault then for keeping it. Plenty (most) of PRS. guitars in that price range are flawless.
The 594 has the 58/15 LT pickups which they claim are low output, but they are still louder than Gibson Les Paul 50's and 60's standard pickups. Want to hear them compared to a Les Paul? Just go to the Anderton Les Paul Shootout between the Gibson, Heritage and PRS McCarty 594.
Agreed, that is the only time I will ever say PRS made a decision to go backward. I own a Reissue 58 LP from the custom shop, even changed out the tuners on that to some Grover Locking ones. I love PRS, and their guitars do feel like Ferraris. I do not want to deal with tuning stability issues and string changes with those. I have a 2019 McCarty 594, the phase 3 tuners on it are wonderful. They are the perfect tuner in my mind. I get the tone part of the equation, but not at the sacrifice of playability and convenience.
@@JoeDread316 I have 3 core 594's only one with the new vintage tuners, they seem to work fine, but I still prefer the phase 3 tuners especially when changing strings
They really had a good chance to do a signature in that style for Ben Burnley but I'm not sure whatever became of that relationship. Would have loved to see a semi hollow or solid body baritone in a McCarty style.
@@jasonlewis5350 The only reason for locking tuners is they make string changing faster & easier. A locking nut is for tuning stability with a Floyd Rose bridge. Non-locking tuners isn't a big deal & if it is they're not hard to change.
Yeah but they are supposed to be vintage. With the build quality of prs i think they will keep in tune just fine. I belive there are several other models in paul's range that has locking tuners.
Plastic non locking tuners… not an upgrade. That’s a bridge too far and just can’t make enough of a “sound improvement” (if even noticeable) to overcome the inconvenience and concern over having plastic tuners. Yuck! I have 4 core guitars I love. These are big detractors for me and; unfortunately, enough so that I won’t buy the DGT I have been thinking about. I love you Paul but you jumped the shark with this one.
Best guitar that you guys make right here.
Beautiful guitar and playing. Period.
Such a wonderful instrument
Really tasteful playing as always from Bryan and a fantastic guitar. 😎

I have PRS Singlecut and Fiore. Magic guitars. These 2024 models are fantastic too
Incredible!!!
Looks incredible
Awesome!!!🌟🌟💯💯
Love the little rhcp parts in there 😂 sounds amazing
What a guitarrrrrr just wahooo

Disappointed in mine since it has a ghost note on the b string at 12 fret. Only answer i get from prs was: yeah that happens sometimes.
Where did you buy it?

Easily the nicest guitar I’ve ever owned.
Diehard PRS guy but I want locking tuners.. I would prefer the phase 3 locking tuners

I have 8 cores, all with phase 3.. There was no need to change them, especially to a non locking@@triston2010
Find a 2016, 594. When the 594 first came out, they had the phase III

What song were you playing during the Position 1 demos?
Soul to Squeeze by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Welcome to BLOOMSVILLE
not putting locking tuners on these already is weird.
The idea of this model is an ode to vintage specs.
The McCarty 594's have never had locking tuners. They have had plenty of models that are stop tail that have non-locking tuners.
@@seancca i know that. duh. i am saying to just put locking tuners on them finally. people want locking tuners on expensive guitars
@@NewPraetorianBlues who cares? people like locking tuners.
@@1997Ghost then put locking tuners on it?? the really weird thing here is to complain about a vintage-inspired guitar having vintage-style specs.
Love PRS -would love to see a 27 and 30 scale Baritone 594 Cheers BC

Just offer locking tuners for an additional $20. I'm sure these are fine but locking tuners will speed up string changes after sale.
Maybe they don’t because they don’t go out of tune. Isn’t that the primary reason for locking tuners?
@@jasonlewis5350 They also make string changing much easier
The vintage style are better tuners than the phase 3 s anyways

@@xF1revolution I know locking tuners aren't for everyone, but at that price point they should be an option. Just my opinion though.

I want a Flying V.
non locking tunners for such a price is 😢😢😢

Ya can't play that thing outside on a windy day cause those new runners act like sails.... Return to old ones please.
