The PRS SE McCarty 594 Quilt in Faded Blue Burst blends classic singlecut styling with vintage-inspired tone and modern PRS reliability. Built with a solid mahogany body and maple top with quilted maple veneer, this model delivers the warmth, feel, and versatility players expect from the McCarty lineage in a refined, roadworthy instrument.
Finished in a stunning Faded Blue Burst, the quilted maple veneer adds depth and movement to the top, shifting beautifully under light. The shallow violin carve enhances the three-dimensional look, giving this guitar a premium aesthetic that feels equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in a serious collection.
The maple-topped mahogany body pairs with a bound Pattern Vintage mahogany neck for excellent sustain and a comfortable, substantial feel. With a 24.594" scale length, 22 frets, and set neck construction, the SE McCarty 594 leans into its broken-in, vintage character — chords bloom, bends feel smooth, and lead lines sing effortlessly. The rosewood fingerboard with PRS Birds inlays and a 10" radius provides familiar, fluid playability across the entire neck.
Equipped with PRS 58/15 LT “S” pickups in both treble and bass positions, this guitar delivers sweet, articulate vintage-style tones with impressive clarity and dynamic response. Dual volume controls and push/pull tone knobs allow you to split coils and access nuanced single-coil textures, all controlled by a classic 3-way toggle on the upper bout — simple, musical, and extremely versatile.
With its PRS two-piece bridge, vintage-style tuners, and nickel hardware, the SE McCarty 594 Quilt is built for real-world performance while staying true to its classic roots.
If you’re looking for a warm, expressive PRS that captures vintage tone with modern reliability — wrapped in a striking quilted Faded Blue Burst finish — this one delivers in every category.
Rich, musical, and endlessly playable — this is McCarty done right.
