PRS Private Stock McCarty 594 Singlecut - Sage Dragon’s Breath

This PRS Private Stock McCarty 594 Singlecut is a breathtaking example of what happens when master craftsmanship meets the world's finest materials. The team here at Palen Music Center had the distinct privilege of hand-selecting the woods for this specific instrument directly from the PRS Private Stock Vault, ensuring that it is truly one-of-a-kind. The foundation of this guitar is a rich African Mahogany back paired with an exquisitely figured Quilted Maple top, a combination that delivers the thick, singing sustain and mid-range punch that defined the golden era of electric guitars. The neck and fingerboard are crafted from Curly Maple, adding a unique visual flair and a snappy, articulate attack to every note you play.

The McCarty 594 model pays homage to Ted McCarty, the legendary pioneer of the electric guitar who mentored Paul Reed Smith. This lineage is evident in the vintage-inspired 58/15 LT (Low Turn) pickups, which offer the sweet, clear, and warm tone of the holy grail humbuckers from the late 1950s. While it captures the spirit of the past—channeling the sonic vibes of legends like Jimmy Page or Dickey Betts—the modern engineering ensures rock-solid tuning stability and intonation. The versatile control layout, featuring push/pull pots, allows you to tap into crisp single-coil sounds, making this instrument as sonically flexible as it is beautiful.

Finished in a mesmerizing Sage Dragon’s Breath Satin Nitro, this guitar feels as good as it looks. The satin finish allows the wood to breathe and resonate more freely, while the intricate Gold Mother of Pearl bird inlays with Paua centers add a layer of luxury that is unmistakably Private Stock. Whether you are a collector looking for the crown jewel of your arsenal or a player seeking the ultimate tonal companion, this McCarty 594 Singlecut is an heirloom-quality masterpiece built to inspire for generations.
