The PRS McCarty 594 in Red Tiger is a masterclass in vintage soul refined by modern precision, carrying the unmistakable signature of Paul Reed Smith’s lifelong pursuit of tone, feel, and flawless craftsmanship. Designed to capture the character of classic late 1950s single cut guitars while delivering the consistency and reliability demanded by today’s players, this instrument is as inspiring to look at as it is to play.

Its flame maple top glows beneath the Red Tiger finish, revealing dramatic figuring and depth, while a solid mahogany back provides warmth, sustain, and harmonic richness. The 24.594 inch scale length, one of Paul Reed Smith’s most carefully researched designs, contributes to the McCarty 594’s elastic feel and slightly sweeter attack, making bends effortless and chords bloom with complexity.

The mahogany neck is carved to the Pattern Vintage profile, substantial yet comfortable, and paired with a bound rosewood fretboard adorned with PRS bird inlays for that unmistakable visual signature. Twenty two frets, a 1 11/16 inch nut width, 2 1/4 inch width at the body, and a neck depth of 57/64 inch at the nut strike a perfect balance between old school heft and modern playability. Nickel hardware, a truss rod cover marked McCarty 594, and vintage style tuners complete the classic aesthetic.

Tone is delivered by a set of McCarty III TCI pickups in both the treble and bass positions, voiced for articulate cleans, woody midrange, and harmonically rich overdrive. The control layout features two volume knobs, two push pull tone controls for coil splitting, and a three way toggle switch on the upper bout, giving players a wide palette of authentic single coil sparkle and full humbucker authority. Anchoring everything is the PRS two piece stoptail bridge, engineered for exceptional resonance and rock solid intonation.

Weighing in at a comfortable 7 pounds 3 ounces and housed in its original hard case, this McCarty 594 is a prime example of why Paul Reed Smith and his Maryland team remain at the forefront of high end electric guitar building. Visually stunning, tonally versatile, and impeccably crafted, this Red Tiger beauty is ready to become the centerpiece of any serious collection or stage rig.
