PRS McCarty 594 PS Teal Black Glow review

The PRS McCarty 594 PS Teal Black Glow is a U.S.-made, double-cut electric guitar with a mahogany body, a figured maple top, and two PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers. Its listed scale length is 24.6 inches, and its Pattern Vintage neck has an asymmetrical profile. The specifications point to a traditional, fixed-bridge setup with added tonal flexibility from push-pull coil splitting.

This assessment is based only on the supplied product details. No customer reviews are available, so there are no reported playing impressions, reliability findings, or independent measurements to draw on. The listed price is 12,333; the supplied information does not identify a currency.

Construction and dimensions

The body and neck are made from Indian or Indonesian mahogany, while the top is figured maple. Rosewood is used for the fingerboard. These are the stated materials; the available specifications do not provide weights, body thickness, finish composition, or details about how the woods affect the sound of this particular instrument.

The double-cut shape provides access from both sides of the upper body, although no measurements describe the cutaway depth or upper-fret reach. The neck has a Pattern Vintage asymmetrical profile. That is a named neck shape, but the data does not state its thickness at particular frets or provide a radius measurement. Players comparing necks should check those details separately rather than infer an exact feel from the profile name alone.

The 24.6-inch scale is shorter than the 25.5-inch scale common on many electric guitars. Scale length is one part of how string tension and fret spacing are determined, but string gauge, tuning, and setup also matter. The guitar has 22 frets. No fret size, fingerboard radius, nut width, or factory string gauge is listed.

Pickups and controls

Two PRS 58/15 LT low-turn humbuckers provide the pickup configuration. The guitar has two volume controls and two tone controls, with a push-pull function for coil splitting. A three-way switch selects between the pickups or their combined setting. The supplied information does not specify the precise switch positions, control layout, or wiring diagram, so those details should be confirmed if a particular control arrangement matters.

Coil splitting changes the pickup circuit to produce a single-coil-style setting. It gives the player an additional option alongside the humbucker modes, but the specification does not establish how closely the split sound matches a dedicated single-coil pickup. The 58/15 LT model name and low-turn description identify the pickups, but no output measurements, magnet type, or frequency response figures are provided.

The separate volume and tone controls allow adjustment for each pickup, while the three-way selector makes pickup choice straightforward in principle. Since the exact wiring details are not included, buyers who depend on independent pickup-volume behavior or a particular split configuration should check the manufacturer's wiring information before purchase.

Bridge, hardware, and included case

A PRS stoptail bridge is fitted, and the guitar has no tremolo. This is a fixed-bridge design, so it does not provide a tremolo arm for changing pitch. The specifications do not name the bridge material, saddle design, or whether the bridge allows individual intonation adjustment. Hardware is described as hybrid, without a component-by-component finish or material breakdown.

A case is included. No gig bag is included, and the supplied listing does not identify the case type or describe its interior. Buyers transporting the instrument regularly may want to confirm those details, along with the case's dimensions and protection level.

What the specifications establish

  • Model: PRS McCarty 594 PS Teal Black Glow, a double-cut electric guitar.
  • Construction: Indian or Indonesian mahogany body and neck, figured maple top, and rosewood fingerboard.
  • Neck and scale: Asymmetrical Pattern Vintage profile, 24.6-inch scale, and 22 frets.
  • Electronics: Two PRS 58/15 LT low-turn humbuckers, two volume controls, two push-pull tone controls, and a three-way switch.
  • Hardware and case: PRS stoptail bridge, no tremolo, hybrid hardware, and an included case.

Buying considerations

The listed specifications describe a fixed-bridge, dual-humbucker instrument with coil-splitting controls and a shorter-than-25.5-inch scale. They do not establish the guitar's weight, setup condition, acoustic or amplified sound, fretwork quality, or consistency between individual examples. Those are important points to assess in person or verify with the seller, especially at the listed price of 12,333.

The model has been available since June 2024, carries item number 591612, and is identified as made in the United States. The product data lists its color as Teal Black Glow, while a general color field labels it blue. The finish name is the more specific description in the supplied details. In the absence of customer feedback or hands-on testing, a purchase decision should rest on these documented features and a direct inspection of the individual guitar.

Scores by area

Where it shines, where it stumbles

What convinced me

  • Mahogany body and neck with a flamed maple top and rosewood fingerboard.
  • Two PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers with push-pull coil-split controls for a wider range of pickup sounds.
  • Made in the USA and supplied with a case.

What bugged me

  • The listed price of 12333 makes it a substantial investment.
  • No tremolo system, which may not suit players who want one.

Is it the right one for you?

Good pick if

A fit for players seeking a USA-made, dual-humbucker guitar with coil-split controls and a stoptail bridge. Also suited to buyers who value a mahogany body, flamed maple top, and included case.

Look elsewhere if

Not a fit for players who require a tremolo system. Buyers with a limited budget may find the listed price difficult to justify.
