The updates to the McCarty family make a huge difference in their tone. The guitar sustains longer and the tone has more character,” said Paul Reed Smith.\n\n\n\nIn the late 1980s, Paul Reed Smith turned to Ted McCarty for advice on guitar design and building techniques. In addition to his role as mentor, he became a good friend to Paul and everyone he met at PRS. In 1994, PRS released the original McCarty, incorporating all the techniques and knowledge Paul had gained from Ted, as well as his own experience as a luthier.\n\n\n\nFor 2024, PRS Guitars will be updating the tuning mechanisms of many of our core guitars. The new Wing buttons are aesthetically designed to reflect the wing span design of the 12th fret bird, designed in 1982 primarily for tonal reasons. These buttons are lighter than the previous metal buttons, which translates into less energy from the vibrating strings, allowing the guitar to ring longer with a more musical tone. Further weight reduction is achieved by eliminating the locking tuning mechanism on non-tremolo guitars.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePRS Two-Piece Bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nMade of zinc and brass, this bridge has four contact points and added mass, enhancing the natural tone of the guitar and helping to create a more resonant instrument.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePRS Vintage-Style Non-Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nTraditional closed-back tuners engineered to promote resonance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePRS 58\/15 LT Pickups\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n“Low turn” pickups with vintage warm, clear tone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe title=\"The McCarty 594 | Demo | PRS Guitars\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mcl35iGVeGw\" width=\"1566\" height=\"881\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nBody Construction: Solidbody\n\nTop Wood: Maple\n\nBack Wood: Mahogany\n\nTop Carve: Violin\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nNumber of Frets: 22\n\nScale Length: 24.594”\n\nNeck Wood: Mahogany\n\nNeck Construction: One-Piece\n\nTruss Rod: PRS Double-Acting\n\nNeck Shape: Pattern Vintage\n\nNeck Depth at the 1\/2 Fret: 7\/8\"\n\nNeck Depth at the 12 1\/2 Fret: 63\/64\"\n\nNeck Width at the Nut: 1 11\/16\"\n\nNeck Width at the Body: 2 1\/4\"\n\nFretboard Wood: Rosewood w\/ Faux Bone Binding\n\nFretboard Radius: 10\"\n\nFretboard Inlay: Birds\n\nHeadstock Logo: Signature, Inlaid\n\nNeck\/Body Assembly Type: Set\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nFinish Type: High-Gloss Nitro\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nBridge: PRS Two-Piece\n\nTuners: PRS Vintage-Style Non-Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons\n\nHardware Type: Nickel\n\nNut: Bone\n\nTruss Rod Cover: \"McCarty\"\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nTreble Pickup: 58\/15 LT\n\nBass Pickup: 58\/15 LT\n\nControls: Two Volume and Two Push\/Pull Tone Controls with 3-Way Toggle Pickup Switch\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nStrings: PRS Signature 10-46\n\nTuning: Standard (6 String): E, A, D, G, B, E\n\nCase: Hardshell Case","brand":"PRS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50839688577312,"sku":"112803-CH","price":8259.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/3793\/9232\/files\/38MC594CH-2_941a0f5c-1acb-4d40-821c-5bb98c7cfd9a.png?v=1762329640","url":"https:\/\/megamusiconline.com.au\/products\/112803-ch-prs-usa-mccarty-594-electric-guitar-in-charcoal","provider":"Mega Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
