Personal Reflection
This PRS McCarty Singlecut 594 from the Artist Package is an absolute visual and tonal masterpiece. The Aquamarine finish on the figured maple top gives the guitar a stunning depth, though it has naturally faded slightly over time, adding a touch of vintage charm. This fading only enhances the character of the instrument, making it feel like a well-aged, but lovingly maintained, classic.
The 594’s Pattern Vintage neck profile is one of the most comfortable PRS necks I’ve played, offering just the right amount of chunk without ever feeling cumbersome. Ben also appreciates the neck, saying, “The Pattern Vintage profile feels like it was made for your hands—there’s a perfect balance between vintage heft and modern playability. It’s like getting the best of both worlds.”
The 58/15 LT pickups deliver vintage-style clarity and warmth with an incredible dynamic response.
Whether you’re rolling back the volume for clean tones or cranking up for overdriven lead lines, these pickups have a sweetness and articulation that can only come from PRS’s attention to detail. With the added coil-splitting options, the tonal range of this guitar is vast, making it versatile enough to cover a variety of genres and playing styles.
Condition Report
This McCarty Singlecut 594 is in excellent condition, with only a slight fade in the Aquamarine finish that gives it a beautiful, slightly aged finish. There are minimal signs of wear, and the Artist Package appointments—including the figured maple top and intricate bird inlays—remain in impeccable condition. The hardware and electronics are fully functional and show no signs of tarnishing. The guitar has been exceptionally well looked after and is ready for both collectors and players who appreciate top-tier craftsmanship.
