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...
A small story, some observations and possible learnings.
I've had my McCarty 594 double cut for a few weeks now, and like many others I found the 58/15 LT, in the bridge position a little bit lacking in drive. But I was quite aware that it supported the middle position by blending with the neck...

After only working intermittently for a while, my neck pickup stopped working completely last week. On opening the cover, it was obvious why. I've looked at the published schematics and I can't figure out where the wire should be soldered to. I'm in...
Got a new McCarty 594. Played the bejeezus out of the factory strings as I loathe waste. They had a great slinky feel.
Finally wore em out and replaced with Ernie Ball 10s, my go-to. The feel is markedly different. Not exactly stiffer, but I can't think of a better word for it.
For the...
Got my 594. It's my guitar. MINE. You can't have it!
I bought it to be my "The One." I have a few other electrics but I'm a serious instrumentalist and was sick of not playing my best due to constantly shifting between scale lengths and neck profiles. The 594 satisfies.
One thing I love...
Hey everyone,
Finally got home to my lil family..
I forgot how beautifully the custom 24 sounds and plays, the 594 i hadn't played before took a chance on it via online shopping (would only do this with a prs, so kudos guys for building such wonderful instruments ) anyway, it feels nice to play...
Well, it's been quite a week for my guitar harem (and weakness to GAS). After receiving an impulse-buy Reclaimed Vela - which is a beautiful, super-resonant instrument - the crown jewel arrived on Friday - a new Wood Library SC 594 from the fine folks at Wildwood.
I put it through its paces...
Just wondering if anyone thinks we could see this down the road? I think I've seen a couple PS with trem mentioned.
I guess the argument against is usually the lack of room with four knobs - but they already do that with the Tremonti sig.
I'm just throwing this out there for fun - heck...
