Insane Wood Library 594 with Artist Grade Top, Ebony Fingerboard and Smoked Black Hardware!

The Yellow Tiger is perhaps one of the fanciest finishes in the Paul Reed Smith line, and we think it's a great match for this PRS McCarty 594. Since its introduction a few years ago, the McCarty 594 has become a true classic in the PRS line-up. The guitar owes the second part of its name to its 24.594-inch scale length, and is inspired by vintage LP-style guitars from the '50s. However - as befits PRS - this traditional formula has been given a new, more reliable and innovative look. Think for example of the 58/15 LT pickups that can be switched from humbucker to single coil via push/pull potentiometers, for a wide range of beautiful, vintage-oriented tones. These Low Turn humbuckers have a somewhat milder output than most double-coil pickups, which produces an incredibly warm sound with just the right amount of definition. These pickups have always been amazing, but thanks to the new TCI tuning, the split-coil modes sound even more convincing. In addition, the McCarty 594 is equipped with the special "pattern vintage" neck profile. This profile is a combination of the finest '50s necks, but has the unique feature that it slopes asymmetrically. This means that the neck is slightly thicker on the bass side than on the treble side at the higher frets, so that the neck will feel comfortable in the hand over its entire length. And don't underestimate the effect of the PRS Two-Piece Cast Zinc bridge. This bridge sounds a lot fuller than many TOM bridges, and therefore has a huge impact on the total sound. The traditional combination of a mahogany body and neck, maple top and ebony fingerboard completes the whole. The latest 594 models are equipped with Vintage-Style tuners (no more locking tuners), the aforementioned CAB finish and the TCI-tuned pickups. These upgrades give the guitar an even more traditional feel in our eyes, without compromising the modern and reliable character of PRS. Totally awesome!
