    McCarty Singlecut 594 for rock/metal?

    Thanks! Appreciate the response! So, you think 11-54 would be good for Dropped C on my 594? or should I go for 11-56?

    McCarty Singlecut 594 for rock/metal?

    Wow, I really appreciate the reply. Cleared up a lot of things for me! So, it seems like ceramic pickups are great for high gain tones, but lack a bit in the clean area. That honestly makes sense, because when I had invader pups in my guitars they sounded super saturated, and thick...but never...

    McCarty Singlecut 594 for rock/metal?

    Yeah, I really have no idea. I'm definitely going to give the stock pups a chance, and see how I get on with them. I know my questions may seem stupid/juvenile, but I do have some knowledge when it comes to musical equipment (amps, tubes, speakers, effects, etc) I just have no knowledge on...

    Great! Thanks for the advice! I was thinking either the 11-56, or 12-54 for Drop C. I'm assuming the 11's would be the better bet simply because it would be easier to bend, and play leads.

    I've actually used the NYXL skinny top heavy bottom strings pretty much exclusively for a few years now. Love those strings! What gauge would you recommend for Drop C tunings? Thanks for the reply!

    Appreciate the response. Thank you! Is the Tremonti pickup similar to the PRS \m/ pickups?

    Thank you all for the responses, and the shared knowledge. I really appreciate it! I will heed the advice, and not change the pickups. I guess I just figured the "vintage" voiced pickups in the 594 would not be suitable for rock/metal, I just thought you would want something a little more...

    I had a Bogner Uberschall that I used in my previous band, but sold it right before the pandemic hit. Still had the Twin, and would just jam at my house through that. Started playing some cleaner music. Didn't have the 594 while I had the Uber, so I was never able to pair them. Looking for a new...

    I will for sure give the stock pickups a chance before switching them out....maybe I won't switch them out after all. I need to get an amp with a bit more gain before making the decision. Right now I just have a Fender Twin. I just know the stock pups in the 594 are more vintage voiced. Figured...

    Awesome! Don't know much about those Suhr pickups, I'll check them out! Thanks! Sounds great! I was just concerned about the short scale length being an issue. I kind of figured the 594 would handle drop tunings since a Les Paul does. I know the Les Pau scale length is a little longer, but...

    McCarty Singlecut 594 for rock/metal?

    Hello, all! My first post on this forum, and I'm happy to be here! I have always loved PRS Guitars, and have owned a few in the last 5-10 years. In my opinion they are the best guitars on the market....everything about them. My question is probably stupid, so I apologize in advance. I own a...
