Amazing Wood Library 594 with Artist Grade Top, Ebony Fingerboard and Smoked Black Hardware!

The Yellow Tiger is perhaps one of the chicest finishes from the Paul Reed Smith line, and we think it is a nice match with this PRS McCarty 594. Since its introduction a few years ago, the McCarty 594 has become an outright classic in the PRS line-up. The guitar owes the second part of its name to the scale length of 24.594 inches, and is inspired by vintage LP-style guitars from the 1950s. However - as befits PRS - this traditional formula has been given a new, more reliable and innovative look. Consider, for example, the 58/15 LT pickups that can be switched from humbucker to single coil using push/pull pots, for a wide range of beautiful, vintage-oriented tones. These Low Turn humbuckers have a milder output than most double-coil pickups, which produces an incredibly warm sound with just enough definition. These pickups have always been fantastic, but thanks to the new TCI tuning, the split-coil modes sound even more convincing. In addition, the McCarty 594 is equipped with the special "pattern vintage" neck profile. This profile is a combination of the finest '50s necks, but has the unique feature that it slopes asymmetrically. This means that the neck is slightly thicker on the bass side than on the treble side at the higher frets, so that the neck will fit comfortably in the hand over its entire length. And also underestimate the effect of the PRS Two-Piece Cast Zinc bridge. This bridge sounds a lot fuller than many TOM bridges, and therefore has a huge impact on the overall sound. The traditional combination of a mahogany body and neck, maple top and ebony fingerboard completes the whole. The latest 594 models are equipped with Vintage-Style tuners (no more locking tuners), the aforementioned CAB finish and TCI-tuned pickups. In our opinion, these upgrades give the guitar an even more traditional feel, without sacrificing the modern and reliable character of PRS. Totally awesome!
