PRS SE McCarty 594 Singlecut (Charcoal). This model brings together the shorter 24.594-inch scale, a substantial Pattern Vintage neck and separate controls for its two 58/15 LT “S” humbuckers. The four-knob layout is useful when a song needs different rhythm and lead levels: set the pickups individually, then move between them with the selector. Each tone knob also has a push/pull function, adding another way to shape the response before the signal reaches an amplifier.

Body, neck and playing feel

Top Wood: Maple; Veneer: Flame Maple; Back Wood: Mahogany.

Neck profile: Pattern Vintage. Scale length: 24.594”; frets: 22. Fingerboard: Rosewood. Radius: 10". Neck joint: Set.

Playing comfort depends on the combination of neck profile, scale length and string action. Fingerboard radius describes curvature, not neck thickness. Check thumb comfort for chords, and upper-fret access and bending feel for lead playing.

Pickups and controls

The upper-bout toggle selects the bridge pickup, both pickups or the neck pickup. Independent volume controls let you adjust their balance in the middle position. Each tone control rolls off treble and provides a push/pull coil-split function for its corresponding pickup. This makes it practical to move from a fuller lead sound to a leaner accompaniment without changing guitars. Start with both tone controls open, compare the pickups at similar loudness, then adjust them to suit the amplifier.

Bridge and hardware

PRS Two-Piece. Tuners: Vintage-Style.

The fixed bridge suits players who create vibrato with their fingers and prefer a stationary bridge for rhythm work and palm muting. Check intonation, action and neck relief after changing gauge or tuning. A fixed design still benefits from a setup matched to your technique.

Playing and recording applications

For blues, classic rock, jazz phrasing and recording parts that benefit from separately adjusted rhythm and lead sounds.

Accessories and connection

Choose an electric guitar combo amplifier for practice or rehearsal. Add guitar effects when you need overdrive, delay or modulation; first compare the guitar’s main sounds without effects so you can hear how the controls change its dynamics.

Keep suitable electric guitar strings and instrument and patch cables available for maintenance and connection. Add a guitar strap for standing practice, a guitar tuner for tuning checks between songs, and suitable guitar stands and holders for your playing space. Match replacement string gauge to this model’s scale and tuning.
