594

So folks, this is by far my most special NGD yet, in the making for more than a year. Also, my first time speccing and designing a guitar exactly to my needs. The base: the Les Paul..cough, cough... 594 The PRS that first won me over was my 2017 594 Singlecut, a guitar which has since evolved...

Greetings All- What is the factory spec. height for the Bridge and Neck Pick ups for 58/15 LT's? I just put some in my 2006 McCarty Hollowbody ii. and want to get them adjusted correctly! Cheers!

So I may of just bought a New Guitar... :D:D I love my 2016 594 and my 2018 Hollowbody ii with Piezo so I thought what if I had a guitar that was a mix of both of these. I also don't have a guitar with the new 2020 specs - Nitro and pickups with the new TCI process applied but also wasn't keen...

I bought recently a McCarty 594. Unlike the majority of PRSs these have two Volume pots and two Tone pots. Using both pickups, this allows us to mix/blend at taste. Usually I like the bridge pickup at 10 and roll down the neck pickup. One problem I found is this guitar comes with logarithmic...

Hi all, Noticed last night that I have a dead spot on my new 594, B string at the 12th fret - the fretted note quickly decays/has little sustain. This also happens at the 11th fret to a lesser extent. I haven't really noticed it anywhere else on the fretboard. When I place the headstock...

I think a 594 is my next axe. Need help deciding which 594. Solid,semi, hb? I googled it but did not find a good comparison... History: Over the last few years I have transitioned away from the tele and into dual hum instruments. My current gigging axe is an S2 standard 24. I changed pups to...

I have almost zero experience with PRS guitars other than the silver sky which is a completely different animal. 1. I'm highly considering the S2 594 because of the price range and the reviews I've read/ videos watched. But I'm worried that the pickups won't be good enough compared to the Core...

Hi Guys, I pulled the trigger on the McCarty 594, got it last week and I love it. It was a choice between it and a used R8 from 2017. The PRS beat the R8 in every way except for the bridge pickup, all on 10, overdrive open ringing rock chords. The voice is very close, the 594 really does sound...

Hi Guys, I picked up a 594 on Saturday. (Love the guitar by the way, it does sound like a reissue LP, maybe more controlled in the bass.) The guitar came string with 10-46 which I’ll want to swap to 10-48. The low open E and A just go sharp with my heavier attack, so a thicker gauge tends to...

Some of you may have seen my Burnt Maple Leaf 594 Singlecut on and off over the last 3 years. As the 2020 update is just around the corner, this is perhaps an appropriate time to do a proper review of the 'old' 594, the guitar that my wife gifted to me on my birthday in 2017 and has become my #1...

Hi folks, As promised from my NGD thread, here's a video of this beautiful guitar. Pardon the technical difficulties that lead to a different camera in some parts of the video but hope you can get a sense of how this looks and sounds. Again, extremely happy and I will be gigging this next...

So folks this is a special one and a long one. I think this qualifies as a short story or maybe even a novella. I have traditionally been a Les Paul player (played only an Epi for about 10 years) and started getting into PRSs about 4 years back. My first, a Custom 22 didn't really rock my...

hello, I just ordered an 594 semi hollow body and was wondering if anyone knows what type of frets are used on this guitar? I read some where that they are jumbo like the DGT but flattened on top. Thanks

As promised folks, this is part 2. This guitar is a special one. One of the early-ish Single cut 594s from early 2017. Gifted to me on my birthday by my wife (who also got it for me from the UK). The colour and the top is what really drew me in, as it reminded me of how the surface of Jupiter...

So I'm a long term Les Paul and then 594 player who recently fell in love with a Artist Pack Tremonti I acquired recently. So these are my thoughts..articulated in more detail in my video below. Different strokes for different folks 594: high quality, high definition 'vintage' Les Paul Tremonti...

My PS plans were foiled. Between Dave’s soapbar 594 post, Les’s explanation on maple vs mahogany necks, and this thing being blue, I caved in and will soon become part of the 594 club. It’s listed as slate blue, but I’ve never seen a slate blue this blue before. It has a maple SATIN neck and...

A couple weeks ago a year or two of looking I picked up my first PRS, a beautiful Charcoal Burst 509. It’s just a fantastic guitar that tonality wise, achieves almost all classic tones in its own beautiful way. It’s a fantastic way to cover almost endless tonal territory without sacrificing a...

Does anyone have a detailed diagram for a McCarty 594? After an adventurous rewiring experiment (Gretsch wiring with independent volumes and a master volume) I’ve simply reworded or with basic modern LP wiring, but that means I’m missing both the coil taps (which I don’t mind doing without) and...

On my DC594 I find myself constantly pushing the low E string onto the Bridge pickup with the outside of my right hand. I'm leaning on the strings I guess. I was checking the pickup height last night and noticed that the distance from pickup to string is approx. 1mm. If I put a Jazz XL III pick...
