The PRS SE McCarty 594 Laurel Burl Limited Edition masterfully blends vintage tone with modern craftsmanship. Named in tribute to legendary guitar innovator Ted McCarty, this model pays homage to the golden era of guitar design while offering the playability and reliability today's players demand. Its standout laurel burl veneer top adds a distinctive aesthetic flair, making it a truly eye-catching take on one of PRS’s most celebrated models.
Built with a mahogany body and maple top, the SE McCarty 594 delivers rich warmth and sustain, complemented by a touch of high-end brightness. The Pattern Vintage mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard offer a familiar, comfortable grip and smooth playability across all 22 frets. Its slightly shorter 24.594” scale length enhances the guitar’s vintage feel, adding subtle softness and warmth to its tone.
Outfitted with PRS 58/15 LT “S” pickups, this guitar captures the articulate, full-bodied sound reminiscent of classic '50s humbuckers, excelling in both clean and driven tones. Push/pull coil-splitting tone controls give players access to a wide sonic palette—from warm humbuckers to crisp single-coils—all in one instrument. A two-piece bridge and vintage-style tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability and spot-on intonation.
Classic tone, modern versatility, and a uniquely bold appearance—the SE McCarty 594 Laurel Burl Limited Edition is built to inspire.
