The PRS SE McCarty 594 in Black Gold Burst delivers classic, vintage-inspired tone with modern PRS reliability and playability. Built by PRS Guitars, this model is designed for players who love old-school warmth and feel, but want the consistency and versatility of a modern instrument. Finished in a rich Black Gold Burst over a flame maple veneer, this guitar has timeless appeal. The warm burst highlights the figuring beautifully, giving it a refined, boutique look that feels right at home on stage, in the studio, or in a serious collection.
A maple-topped mahogany body, slightly thicker back, and bound Pattern Vintage mahogany neck deliver excellent sustain, warmth, and resonance. The shorter 24.594" scale and comfortable neck profile give it a broken-in, vintage feel that makes chords bloom and leads sing.
Loaded with PRS 58/15 LT “S” pickups, the SE McCarty 594 produces sweet, articulate, vintage-style tones with impressive clarity. Dual volume controls and push/pull tone knobs allow you to access both humbucker and single-coil sounds easily, giving you a wide range of usable tones without ever feeling complicated.
With its two-piece bridge, PRS-designed tuners, and dependable nickel hardware, this guitar is built for real-world use while staying true to its vintage roots.
If you’re looking for a warm, expressive PRS that captures classic tone with modern versatility, the SE McCarty 594 Black Gold Burst is an outstanding choice.
Rich, musical, and endlessly playable — this is vintage-inspired PRS done right.
