(SOLD) Paul Reed Smith SE 594 McCarthy Singlecut Standard Tobacco Sunburst 2023
PRS SE 594 McCarthy SC Standard, tobacco burst, made in Indonesia 2023. The 594 model is named after the scale length: 24.594", a nudge shorter than the signature 25" length you'll find on the Custom 24 etc. This version also gets a deeper body, a fat 'pattern vintage' neck which is similar to a '58 style Gibson shape, a carved plain mahogany top, vintage style white button tuners and a pair of 'low turn' humbuckers. It's not aiming to be a super quick shred machine, but it's a comfy player: sensible ergonomic curves, lightweight body, great hardware. The tone on deck is sparkly and wide, with that recognisable PRS evenness and balance. This is a very pragmatic guitar, but it still manages to look sleek. I give it 594 points.
