The McCarty 594 is widely considered the pinnacle of the PRS vintage-inspired lineup, but it is almost exclusively defined by its fixed 2-piece stoptail bridge. Available only through PRS Signature Dealers, this limited run breaks that mold: The McCarty 594 Tremolo.
Intense and high-definition, the Red Tiger 10-Top finish highlights the deep figure of the flame maple on this exclusive McCarty 594 Tremolo. This configuration—the 'vintage-soul' 594 platform equipped with a vibrato bridge—is typically a Private Stock-only request, now available in a limited run for Signature Dealer clients.
This instrument offers a playing experience previously reserved for the Private Stock program. It retains the foundational "594" DNA—the slightly shorter 24.594” scale length that reduces string tension and adds a "chewy," vocal quality to every note—but adds the expressive power of the PRS Patented Gen III Tremolo. The result is a guitar that feels like a vintage masterpiece but performs with the versatility of a modern session tool.
The electronics feature the newly developed McCarty III pickups, designed to provide exceptional clarity and a rich, harmonic mid-range. Paired with the traditional 4-knob layout (2 Volume, 2 Push-Pull Tones) and a 3-way toggle on the upper bout, you have independent coil-tapping capabilities for a nearly infinite array of humbucking and single-coil textures.
The aesthetics are strictly elite, featuring a 10-Top Grade Flame Maple top, a bound East Indian Rosewood fretboard, and the exclusive "Old School" Bird inlays crafted from Sparkle Mother of Pearl with Pink Heart centers. This run is a rare opportunity to own a 594 configuration that officially "doesn't exist" in the standard Core catalog.
