New 594 model

[Cocorosa]

Has anyone seen a price on them yet? The black gold wrap burst is calling for me by name but I might be scared of the price ....

 

[shallbe]

[dkilpatrick]

Singlecut gold top all the way

 

[ViperDoc]

Soapbars are nice but I agree with G. Wizz and Mike Duncan. I want a McCarty 594 with a tremolo. Please!!!

Luckly I have a CU22 P-90 already somy wallet is safe for the moment

Mother f@$%^r

Dammit, I had my sites on a LaRose Singlecut with Lollar staple pole P90's 'cause I need a P90 guitar. This definitely throws a wrench in that, being the PRS fanboy I am, I will save a little more and try to pick up a used non-10-top next year as the order window for this model doesn't give me enough time to get the scratch together

Question: Soapie push-pull tone does...what???

 

[andy474x]

Well crap. Talk about first world problems!

Want!!!

Both sound great and each one beats the other in certain areas. I guess I need both guitars!

Sounds like someone needs to negotiate a 15-year contract extension.

Is it coincidence that the current PS calendar July guitar has P90s..?


I was looking at it on my wall just today and was thinking "I only have the SE Soapbar. Hmm..." Now this!

 

[vchizzle]

Man, they both sound so good!

Count me as one disappointed in the use of the Duncan P90s. I have had them n several guitars, including a couple PRSi.....They have all either had the pickups swapped or the guitar has gone away. There are so many better options, IMO.....The only PRS I still have with P90s is a "Ted" with Thorn Staple pickups. SO much better now!

The only Duncan P-90 I would consider is the "Antiquity" model.

I have some good news for you then - did you read the press release? http://prsguitars.com/news/story/introducing_the_mccarty_594_soapbar_models

Anyway, my feeling in watching the comparison video is that the perfect 594 would have a neck P90 and a bridge humbucker... that's about as good a combination as it gets, IMO. Overall my tastes lean to the soapbars in general though.

Wow that is sexy!

Site error, I believe.

I also noted the site makes no mention of 10 top. The listings on Sweetwater are all 10 top nickel (not hybrid).

p-90 in the bridge is almost useless. My opinion is they should have put a bucker in the bridge and a p-90 in the neck.

With P90 guitars, the bridge pickup is almost solely there to inform what the middle position sounds like, IMO.

So P90/P90 is cool even if the switch never hits the bridge position because the middle position has its own thing happening, but P90/HB is more versatile overall - still a great middle sound but also more useable on the bridge.
