Used 2018 Paul Reed Smith McCarty 594 Artist Faded Whale Blue
Serial Number: 258462
Weight: 8.02 lbs.
Condition: Excellent condition, 2018 model. Guitar shows little to no wear aside form some light swirling/scratches in the clearcoat finish, particularly the dark parts of the finish. Comes with original PRS Brown Paisley hardshell case, hangtags, and accessories.
This 2018 Paul Reed Smith McCarty 594 Artist in Faded Whale Blue pairs an artist-grade flame maple top with a mahogany body, showing off deep figuring under the high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. The McCarty 594's vintage-inspired design — a slightly thicker back and shorter 24.594" scale length — delivers the vintage string feel and note bloom the model is known for. At 8.02 lbs., it's a substantial, resonant build.
The set mahogany neck carries PRS's Pattern Vintage profile (7/8" at the half fret, 63/64" at the 12 1/2 fret) — a fuller, vintage-leaning carve — bound in faux bone binding and topped with an ebony fretboard, PRS's signature bird inlays, and a 10" radius across 22 frets. A 1 11/16" bone nut leads to PRS Phase II locking tuners in hybrid hardware finish, and an ebony headstock veneer completes the vintage-inspired look. A PRS two-piece bridge rounds out hardware built for sustain and tuning stability.
Electronics come from a pair of PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers, voiced for warm, vintage-leaning tone with convincing single-coil quack when split, wired to dual volume controls and push/pull tone controls per pickup for coil-splitting alongside a 3-way toggle selector. This particular example is in excellent condition for a 2018 model, showing light swirling and scratches in the clearcoat finish (particularly noticeable in the darker areas of the finish), and comes with the original PRS brown paisley hardshell case, hangtags, and accessories. Whether you're a player who wants vintage-style tone and feel with modern PRS build quality, a collector drawn to the artist-grade flame maple top, or a tone-chaser after the 58/15 LT pickups' vintage-leaning coil-split range, this McCarty 594 Artist delivers real character and craftsmanship.
