I Bought a PRS?! Here's Why | The PRS McCarty 594 | Through the Ceriatone Overtone Special Dumble

[@adhaskym.a9536]

I am turning 50. This model will be the present I buy for me.

[@BuddyBlues]

Happy birthday and congrats in advance! It'll be the best birthday ever

[@sheercerebralpower]

Funny you should say. I turned 55 and bought myself a McCarty for my soon to come birthday I share with Jimi….

[@WarrenlaidlerExp]

That's what I would call a birthday present 👍🏾

[@darrennwalters5189]

I jumped in the prs train myself and am hooked now. Bought a 1999 custom ordered PRS McCarty hollow body II with 10 top and back. All 5lbs 3 oz of it. Best instrument I’ve ever picked up bar none.

[@avielkharrat5788]

First of all: you play beatifully well. You're fluid, expressive, meaningful. I'm really impressed. Second : welcome to the PRS world. You're entering it by the vintage door, but you should know that there is a lot more to it. Third: Paul Reed Smith calls his guitars legal drugs. It seems that it's exactly what you've been experiencing while playing on this video! You just couldn't stop! And for the joy of us all (or at least for mine). Fourth: don't worry, you'll still be playing other guitars... Sometimes.... Try a Fiore or a Silver Sky! One more sub for you fella! Cheers, Avi

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you so much!! Ya I'm already deep in the PRS world so you're right haha

PRS have been making seriously amazing gear for a while now. I think you've acquired everything I've been looking at getting since getting back into guitar after a long break. I think that's why I discovered you're channel originally because of the ceriatone amp! As soon as I finally manage to clear out some of my lesser used gear I'm buying the overtone and the PRS McCarty

[@Five0Music]

Congrats on that guitar, the 594 is the best guitar PRS has come out with since the 513 in 2004. Eminently playable, a stack of useable tones even before you start tweaking volume and tone, or touch the amp. A masterpiece. And no, I am not a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. I have a 594 Hollowbody on the way, adding another flavor to all that goodness. It takes a wise man to admit a view held in the past was wrong, but the benefits are, well, in this case, audible!

[@BuddyBlues]

I am eyeing this full hollow body 594 on reverb in river blue. This comment does not help my bank account. Haha please let me know what you think of it when you get it!

[@Five0Music]

@@BuddyBlues Thanks, Buddy. It is due in today so I’ll likely be MIA for 24 hours! I bought a Trampas Green Blackburst from Ken Stanton’s in the Atlanta area. Very easy people to work with, and they made me a great deal on it, to boot! I’ll report back. I enjoy your content and playing... subscribed!

[@Five0Music]

@@BuddyBlues Ok... arrived yesterday, and I spent the evening and this morning getting to know it. I’ll cut to the chase... if you love the 594, it plays the same. If you dig the vibe of a hollowbody, without the feedback issues because it’s a solid maple top that’s carved top and back, inside and out, it delivers 594 tone with a little more vocal openness or “woodiness” as folks say. Build is what you expect from a PRS core guitar. It is exactly what I wanted, and looks as good as it sounds. You owe it to yourself to get your hands on one and see if it turns the key for you. Oh... and it is under 6 pounds! Incredible guitar.

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you so much for the update! I'm really glad you love yours, congratulations. I can't wait to get my hands on one to try it and see how different it sounds from the regular ol' 594

They really do make playing easier. Especially the 594 with the slightly shorter scale length

Nice 594. You gotta try a single cut. Extra body depth just adds a little to it. I like the semi hollow version best. I have 25 PRS guitars I'm not a doctor,lawyer,or rich. Just love their guitars!

[@BuddyBlues]

I have yet to play one of the single cut semi hollow! Can't find one anywhere but that is certainly the one I want next. Do you think it would sound wildly different to the double cut 594? Sorry it took me 19 years to answer the comment I must have missed it

[@duanewelsh5611]

@@BuddyBlues not wildly different but single cut seems a little thicker tonally. I have several of both and they all have subtle different tones

[@duanewelsh5611]

@@BuddyBlues PS I'm not near as good a player as you! Enjoyed your video.

[@CarlyonProduction]

Yeah I am wondering about this. The midrange of the single cut is delicious, the double cut seems to have a more focused lower mid, the single seems to have more mids in general. Then the single cut, semi hollow seems much more woody. All delicious. I cant decide either.

Thanks so much! Slowly but surely getting there

[@frozendivots1564]

Bought a 594 last year after playing guitar for 40 years. Never wanted a PRS and actually never played one until I tried the 594. Bought it immediately. It’s the most well made, balanced guitar I’ve ever played. And it stays in tune better than my tele. I play a fusion style guitar and it’s perfect for that. Its really in its own class, although everyone compares it to a Gibson. It’s different, very different. I also don’t get why people see these as ‘Lawyer Guitars’. Many Gibson’s and other are in the same price range and no one says a thing about those. A 4K small, custom shop guitar is cool but a 4K PRS isn’t? Odd...

[@BuddyBlues]

I agree 100%. I did another gig last night with it. It just..fits. love this guitar more and more. Also gibson nit that Ling ago started charging bajillion dollars for historic R9s... I think the doctor lawyer engineer thing came about before that. Thanks for watching!!

Great Demo. I love my 594 SC. Epic tones. With the right amp you almost don't need any other guitars.

[@druwk]

That is a SWEET guitar! I’m chasing that early Les Paul tone, and this model really seems to nail a Tone that’s really close? And, certainly closer out of the box than the equivalently priced Gibson. Also, it does more...buy cheap, buy twice, or three times(?)!

[@BuddyBlues]

haha yes! It does the vintage LP sound perfectly

[@johndolores315]

Gibson standard is cheaper. Just get that if you want the fat les paul sound. This doesn't quite do that. No other brand quite does that Gibson les paul fat vintage tone like gibson does, mainly due to the pickups. This guitar has the characteristic, just not the fatness. I would pick this guitar though, much more versitile, and much easier to play, also much less fragile. It wold be interesting to put gibson humbuckers in a prs though. Ima google that now.

[@footcandy]

Yep.. buy cheap, buy twice, and end up spending way more ...... or as a friend of mine used to say, 'I can't afford to buy cheap'.

I bought a 594 second hand about 2 years ago and it has become my #1 go to electric. Great tones from the pickups, great neck and playability. Mind you I still have a Pro 2 Strat with a solid rosewood neck that is awesome, but the 594 scale seems to suit me better.

I was very lucky. Two brazilian brothers were living at London and were about to come back to Brazil. One of them bought a new McCarty 594 Artist Package, didn't even play the guitar and asked the other, who was returning first to take the guitar with him. Things changed and the guy who bought the guitar decided he would stay in London. Then he asked his brother, already in Brazil, to sell the guitar. Guess who bought a brand new PRS, more than mint condition, for an amazing price? Hint, I'm brazilian and I'm telling this story.

For the studio if you want only one guitar that does everything, have you looked into a Variax? I have three of those, they give you anything you might want and model everything else. Other than that you need a pile of guitars IMHO.. 8-)

I have a Les Paul from the Custom Shop and two PRS Custom 24's - one old (1990); one more recent (2012). I may have to try a 594 but like the looks of the older ones (McCarty's) better. Don't know why, but I don't like the switch on the upper horn.

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you! Haha the switch position was my favorite thing about this one!

[@carminelombardi9575]

The McCarty 564 Single Cut has the same loose string tension as the Les Paul, I'm going to buy that one over the double cut for that reason.

Sounds fantastic!!! You play awesome!!! I have really enjoyed playing!!! Does this thing have a neck dive like Gibson SG for instance???

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you!! No, no neck dive at all thank goodness

[@Adcock_Guitars]

Sounds good 👍 you have great guitar skills......what amp are you using?

[@neve4020]

sounds like throwin wood after somebody! Just perfect! (yours look like mine xD)

[@BuddyBlues]

Ha thanks! Love thr Grey-Black finish they make

[@scottallen6664]

I only have the SE series of PRS. But I now have 7 of them. My next purchase is gonna be an S2 594. Btw, my "other" guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Studio.

[@CarlyonProduction]

This is so relatable. I had the same experience with PRS a couple of weeks back. I would never have been seen dead with one. Now I am thinking of selling my VOS 64 special and getting one....Yikes, have a become a wanker? Is that what it is? Should I get a briefcase? Some loafers?

TWEED BRIEFCASE

[@axe2Mummy]

I have the same axe but the hollow 2 model. I’ve been on the fence about the string tension being a little floppy with 10a The stop tail isn’t meant to be height adjustable so no easy fix. I bumped string gauge to 11s and it feels amazing. Same with my lp These guitars feel like they were made for 11s and those 11’s are +1 on toane

[@ac30kid]

Man… I‘ve been looking at S2 MCartys but a couple videos, especially this one and the one with you playing funk on this guitar has got me thinking to just go for a core. What color is this and is it a 10 top? I have a Silver Sky and feel like this would be a good juxtaposition for that guitar. Amazing playing btw.

Great Tones

[@jamesramosortiz4149]

What amp are you using? Greet playing man! Awesome tone!

[@BuddyBlues]

Thanks! I’m using the Ceriatone Overtone special. A Dumble clone. There’s a video on my channel about it

[@roxyroo7042]

The envy is strong. Very impressive. That guitar is awesome and very good looking too. Very classy, but a slight hint of bad to the bone lurking within it. Well done.

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you! I really dig this thing

[@daniel_chayra]

Hey man, just came across your channel and love it! I have a es-335 because of the nut width works for my smaller hands. How are prs for that?

[@BuddyBlues]

It would would extremely similar! It is the most comfortable guitar I've ever played. An even smaller nut width would be the DGT I'd look at those too. I have a video on the dgt
