This 2017 Paul Reed Smith McCarty 594 in McCarty Tobacco Burst is a used example of the model that quickly became PRS's vintage-minded flagship, dressed in a 10-Top flame maple cap over a mahogany body and finished in high-gloss nitrocellulose that lets the burst fade from deep tobacco edges into figured amber at the center. At 7.94 lbs., it sits right in the sweet spot for a set-neck double-cut — substantial enough to push air and sustain, light enough to play a full night without paying for it the next morning. This one shows honest, light wear for its age: some swirling and light scratches in the clearcoat, a handful of small indentations on the top under the strings and on the back of the body, additional swirls and scratches on the back, and light finish wear on the hardware and pickup covers. Nothing structural, and nothing that touches the way it plays.
The mahogany neck is carved to PRS's Pattern Vintage profile (7/8" at the 1/2 fret, 63/64" at the 12 1/2 fret), a broad-shouldered handful that fills the palm the way a great late-'50s neck does, finished in high-gloss nitro and glued in with traditional set-neck construction for sustain and a seamless upper-fret reach. The ebony fretboard with faux bone binding and PRS signature bird inlays runs a 10" radius over 22 frets, and the model's defining 24.594" scale length — the spec the 594 is named for — splits the difference between Gibson-style warmth and Fender-style clarity while giving the strings a slinky, forgiving bend feel. A 1 11/16" bone nut, rosewood headstock veneer, PRS two-piece bridge and stoptail, PRS locking tuners, and hybrid hardware round out an instrument built for players who want vintage response with modern tuning stability.
The electronics center on a pair of PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers, the lower-turn version of Paul's 58/15 design — clearer, more open, and more responsive to picking dynamics than a hotter wind, with airy top end and a woody midrange that cleans up beautifully off the volume knob. The full vintage control complement of two volumes, two tones, and a 3-way toggle gives each pickup its own voicing, and push/pull tone controls split both humbuckers to single-coil for chimey, spanky tones that widen the range considerably. Whether you're a blues player chasing feel, a session or cover-band guitarist who needs one instrument to cover every gig, or a collector looking for an early-run 594 in one of its most requested finishes, this one delivers. This used 2017 PRS McCarty 594 (Serial #245990) includes its original PRS hardshell case and case candy. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized PRS dealer.
