PRS Private Stock HPW McC 594 ADB review

The PRS Private Stock HPW McC 594 ADB is a single-piece McCarty 594 made in the USA. Its specification pairs an African mahogany body with a quilted maple top, while ziricote is used for both the neck and fingerboard. The finish is Amaretto Dragon's Breath, with vintage nitrocellulose lacquer. At a listed price of 13,690, this is a high-cost instrument whose appeal rests on its specific materials, Private Stock detailing, and one-off status.

There are no customer reviews available for this model. This assessment therefore sticks to the supplied specifications. Those details identify the construction and controls, but they do not establish how the guitar sounds, feels in hand, or performs in a particular player's setup.

Woods and visual details

The body is African mahogany, topped with quilted maple. The carved appearance and grain figure of the maple are likely to be a prominent part of the guitar's visual identity, though the data does not describe the top's figure beyond its quilted designation. The Amaretto Dragon's Breath color and vintage nitrocellulose finish complete the stated exterior specification.

Ziricote is specified for the neck and fingerboard, as well as for the neck profile being Pattern Vintage. The fingerboard carries Green Heart "Original Birds" inlays with white mother-of-pearl edging, plus Green Heart side markers. A quilted maple headstock veneer ties the headstock visually to the top. These are unusually specific appointments, but the supplied information does not give neck dimensions, fingerboard radius, or the weight of the instrument.

McCarty 594 layout and controls

The guitar has a double-cut body shape and a 24.594-inch scale length, listed more precisely as 624.69 mm. The general specification also rounds this to 624 mm. It has 22 frets and a Pattern Vintage neck profile. That combination identifies the basic playing layout, but there are no measurements for fret size, nut width, neck thickness, or string spacing, so those details cannot be assessed here.

Two covered 58/15 LT humbuckers provide the pickup configuration. The control set consists of two volume controls and two tone controls, with push-pull coil splitting on the tone controls, plus a three-way switch. This gives the player access to humbucker operation and coil-split options from the instrument itself. The source does not specify the wiring arrangement for each switch position or provide pickup output measurements, so more precise claims about the available combinations or their tonal character would be speculative.

Bridge, tuners, and included items

A two-piece PRS bridge is fitted, and the guitar has no tremolo. The tuners are described as PRS vintage locking machine heads, with a nickel and gold hybrid finish. Locking tuners can make string changes more straightforward, but the data does not state the gear ratio or describe any setup work carried out before sale.

The package includes a Private Stock Brown Paisley case and a certificate. A case is included, while a gig bag is not. The single-piece run means this exact specification is listed as a one-off rather than a production variation. Its serial number is PS_12611, and the item number is 645529.

Technical assessment

The specification makes this instrument easy to distinguish from a standard McCarty 594: ziricote neck and fingerboard, detailed Green Heart and mother-of-pearl inlay work, a quilted maple headstock veneer, and the named Private Stock finish all contribute to its individual configuration. The familiar dual-humbucker control format remains practical, with separate volume and tone controls and push-pull coil splitting. The fixed two-piece bridge keeps the hardware layout simple, while the 22-fret, 24.594-inch scale establishes the core dimensions.

At 13,690, the price places the guitar firmly in the premium custom-instrument category. The available information supports an evaluation of its materials, appointments, and hardware, but not a verdict on sound, comfort, tuning stability, or build quality in use. Buyers should confirm the current price, inspect the instrument in person if possible, and check setup and condition details with the seller. On paper, the PRS Private Stock HPW McC 594 ADB is a highly individualized McCarty 594 with a clear specification and documented one-piece status.
