Thanks guys! I put new strings on it today, adjusted the action a touch and intonated it. This guitar can be *precisely* intonated. Amazing! One other thing, even though this 594SC is a very different guitar from my '59 Historic 335 RI, I find that the 58/15LT pickups to be surprisingly...

Got this earlier this week... I wanted something with a vintage LP vibe, and this guitar is that and more. In fact, in over 50 years of owning way too many guitars, this is the best built guitar I've owned. It is also the easiest to play and it sounds killer. It's a "subtle" 10-top, Wood...

Thanks guys. Landed the one I wanted. Will be here next week. I'll report back...

Damn! That was obviously just posted with so few views. Plus it's somewhat local to me. I will be looking into this further. Need to see it in person, as Tobacco Bursts tend to be brown bursts, not cherry bursts. Thanks for such a quick heads-up! -bk

I've posted here a few times saying that I am looking for a 594 SC McCarty burst. I hoped to find one at the Experience, but no dice. I am looking for a McCarty burst like the one on the PRS site. The only McCarty bursts I've been able to find anywhere in the US for months now are faded...

Wonderful thread, and totally on-point IMO. It's amazing how many great players use EQ 100% of the time - from David Gilmour - to John 5 to all those crazy Nashville players. Often it's the venerable GE-7. I used a GE-7 (Sniper mod??) for years, the MXR 10-band back when it came out, and I've...

Not meaningless! Also, I am learning that it's easier to find a nun in a bikini than a McCarty sunburst 594SC!

Thanks Tyler. I agree, the 594SC is a very special guitar!

That makes perfect sense - thanks for that insight. I am new to purchasing PRS - things are a little different here. It's been my experience with other brands that when something sits in stock, there's often reason for that, and sometimes it's not altogether positive. On the flip side, I...

Well, as I posted in the Experience thread, I didn't find any McCarty sunburst 594SC's at the event. I am now reaching out to dealers to find who may have one in their order pipelines. I know that I can special order one, but since I am not looking for anything exotic, just a "standard" 594SC...

Hoping to get a 594SC - so, I am interested in this. Need to know more to help. What are you using to intonate (tuner) and which technique are you using?

Had a great "experience." Attended both days. What a great event! But, I didn't get to pull the trigger on a 594SC McCarty burst - even a non-10 would have worked just fine. I looked, not one to be found. How could that happen?? So now I plan to contact some dealers and see what they are...

Festivities start at 4:30pm. I'll be there! Hoping to find a 594SC that I can't say "no" to.

"If you want to be in the game, you have to pay the price of admission. NO FREELOADERS!!! :oops: "You had an "Ass, Gas or Grass. Nobody Rides For Free" bumper sticker on your car back in the day, didn't you?" "Hey, it was cold, I was tired. I had no money, so I had to do something for a ride!"...

Yikes! I just wanted to check out some 594SCs!
