PRS Doublecut OR Singlecut? | Private Stock McCarty 594 Guitar Comparison

Should I keep the PRS 594 doublecut or singlecut? Watch the video and help me decide!
In this video I compare two breathtaking PRS 594 McCarty Private Stock guitars to see what kind of sound difference there is between the doublecut and singlecut versions. I was surprised how similar they were and also didn't expect one of the subtle differences. Comment below to let me know what you're hearing!
I hope this video is helpful for anyone considering a PRS 594. I think they are a modern classic.
Happy to answer any questions in the comments below!
Rock on,
Johnny Z

The double cut has a touch more air in its tones, meaning there is the best of a bright Les Paul and the deeper parts of a strat in it. I think it has more legs, so to speak. If possible, keep both coz they’re spectacular :)

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thanks for your observations! I like those analogies. Seems to be a couple comments so far about the DC having more air, which I also experience when playing it. If possible, I’ll try to keep both but I’ll most likely have to say goodbye to one of them.

[@marloc2019]

They are both simply stunning. It all comes down to personal inclinations and feeling. I'd go for the single cut but only cos I already have a double cut (even though it's not a McCarty). p.s. great vid!

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thank you! Well said … it is really personal preference, especially with instruments like these.

[@claudialuciano3033]

Hi! I'm Paolo from Italy. Gorgeous guitars... both. The double cut increase the playability, but the single cut is aestetically more pleasant. The sound is gentle, luminous and warm... such a great guitar! (Forgive my english... io parlo italiano/je parle francais) thanks for your recension

[@foggyblues13]

DAMN!!! The top on the double cut. Wow, amazing. To my ears, the single cut is a tad smoother and fuller sounding; and the double cut has more bite. Personally I'd be keeping the double cut as it suits my playing style more. But I guess it really comes down to the other guitars your have to cover what you want tonally. Both are beautiful and you definitely can't go wrong with either. Awesome playing as always. EDIT: Just keep both. lol

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thank you and appreciate your observations! Keeping both seems to be a growing consensus 😂. The DC’s top spoke to me too and was really pleased to find it had a tone to match! Good point about how it fits with the rest of the collection. I think the DC compliments the rest of my collection more than the SC.

[@danthedem]

Singlecut all the way! Both are great but I always go to the singlecuts. Gorgeous look for the Singlecut as well.

[@Chreeseol]

[@RatherBeRiffing]

[@nickh1933]

Both sound incredible, and you make them sound really good! I still cannot decide, and am currently looking at either a Yellow Tiger double cut or a Dark Cherry Burst Single cut (2022 models)

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thanks, Nick! The struggle is real, but good news is you will end up with a great guitar either way. I like the newer hardware and pickups so 2022 is a good year for that. Good luck deciding!

[@1mihayes]

It’s the double cut for me. The sound is just incredible. But mostly, it just feels better in my hand than the single cut. I don’t know why, but the SC feels smaller when I’m playing it. And with my big hands the last thing I need is a smaller guitar. 😂

I think the double cut sounds much better. It seems to be much more defined … to me it’s really special. Especially in context with a band it will support your playing better!

[@johnmcaleese8459]

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thank so much, John - happy to know that!

[@Guitarman007]

I closed my eyes during final solo and only opened when I distinctly heard one guitar was thicker beefier in the upper lows lower mids. They sounded very close but I consistently opened my eyes on the single cut.It had more nuanced character but the double cut had more clarity and focus. Id prob use doublecut on solos that need to cut through a mix and the single cut on parts where the guitar is either heavy rhthm or solo alone like blues or some such.

[@dragan4658]

Both guitars are to be reconned with, the double cut has a lighter/brighter sound than the single cut. I havent been a fan of the PRS headstock design but must admit its grown on me, either that or Ive smartened up. As usual & no surprise, exquisite playing!

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thank you! Headstocks are indeed such a delicate thing aesthetically, especially with how ingrained the classic Fender and Gibson designs are.

[@julienrp7511]

They both look and sound great, but esthetically I prefer for the SC, as it has an amazing and rare one-piece top and an incredible finish, which is also more original. You don’t mention the neck shapes and their weights, comfort is important too. Sonically, although they come very close, I really like the extra brightness and clarity of the DC. So I think I would go for the DC, but it’s a heartbreaking choice!

[@jimwoodard64]

As someone who's owned and loved both, I would keep the double-cut. That said, it's really personal preference. There's nothing you can accomplish on the one that would be impossible on the other. I would say play the one that feels best in your hands. I listened to your LP video comparison with the singlecut and to be honest, it was hard to tell the difference, even through my studio monitors on this end. I really had to pay attention. In the end, the guitar that feels best to you should be the one that you play the most. Rock on!

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thanks for the comments, Jim - wise words! I’m leaning DC as it does feel a bit better to me. Another good test for me is how many new riffs/licks does a guitar give me since at the end of the day it’s about creative expression (the DC has been delivering on that for me as well).

[@millman82]

Keep both. The Singlecut has the 58/15LT+ if yours had the standard pups. They are a bit hotter which is why there appears to be less bass. It is subtle but there. I think it gives it more of that vintage LP bite. I have a 2022 McCarty 594 Doublecut with artist package finishes but graded a 10-top and I love it! Quilted maple top, mahogany body, flame maple neck, and ebony fingerboard. However, I am still getting a Singlecut version next.

[@carlossalazar4508]

Both excellent examples of PRS craftsmanship. I’d say keep both!

When I’m in the weeds on these decisions I throw out all the talking points and focus on the moment that grabs me. In this video 6:30-6:38 is the moment that I can’t stop listening too. That’s the one I keep. Love your style btw.

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thank you! That’s a great approach. I happen to love that moment as well. That part just speaks on the DC and I love the airiness. I actually wrote that motif on the DC so there’s that too!

[@DennyBob521]

Great playing and great tone. We have a similar style, so I'm drawn to your vids. I have a Semi-Hollow Experience PRS 2018 SC594, I've been gassing for a Double-Cut, but to be honest, they are so similar, and both incredible (mine's a LTD, but a mere core 😉) I'm shocked at how similar they are with the body shape difference. I say keep both, toss something else, but definitely keep the Single Cut.

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thank you! Well said - I was also surprised how similar the SC and DC were! The semi-hollows are great and would love to compare one to the solid body DC in the future.

[@RiZenAsH]

I could listen to you play all day long.

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Wow thanks for the kind comment!

[@grantglover1799]

I agree that the DC has more bottom end. It’s overall fuller and a touch warmer to my ears. The SC is more focused. Usually I tend to like more present or brighter guitars, but I would pick the DC even thought it doesn’t have locking tuners.

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thanks for the observations, Grant. More focus is a good way to describe the SC too!

[@johnquevillon8753]

Double Cut, TCI pick-ups? LOVE the PRS, Thank You!

They are both an awesome guitar my dear friend!! Both sounds great!! Love and respect Kyle!! 😊🥁🇵🇭

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thank you! Then I a can’t choose wrong 😁. Much appreciated as always!

[@abd-ix5qd]

Im always a fun of SC aesthetically and sonically.. But for this video, my eye is on the DC.

[@scottdematteo]

First off, I love Treehouse IPA. I’ve had that same one. Been there a few times. I live in Maryland but make it up there every few months. I have five McCarty’s three double cuts, two singlecut. I play les Paul’s a lot as well. I tend to favor both your and mine double cut. But love ‘‘em all. The double cut seems to breath more and have a more living breathing tone. Both nearly sound identical over KZbin but being you’re splitting hairs that’s my input. I use a helix, would love to reproduce your preset you're using on it.

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Treehouse + guitars = can’t go wrong 🍻 . What’s your favorite brew? The DC does seem to breath more, which I’m really enjoying. It’s a bummer how much YT homogenized the sound, but to your point, the guitars are more similar than different. Haven’t gotten into modeling yet, but would love to try and get some of these tones captured in a Helix or the like.

[@scottdematteo]

Each time I go there it’s always something different. Tonight I’m sipping on Treehouse Guava Treat.

[@thieveryguitars6206]

That double cut is really nice. I may have to check out a PRS for my next guitar. Not sure how many guitars you have, but based on your videos you have some really nice single cuts.

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Definitely worth checking out. They’re making some killer stuff these days! I do have a lot of SC’s so the DC is more complimentary to the collection for sure. I think it is sonically too and will compare it to my Les Paul in my next video. I think there will be more contrast in that comparison.

[@ryanmcgrath9869]

Sonically, the DC is airier with nice clarity. I preferred it for everything except the high gain tones. For high gain, the SC has better attack and is slightly brighter. I'm assuming the TCI vs the non-TCI pickups are the main reason for the difference. Visually, they are both stellar but I'm a sucker for a quilted maple top and a one piece at that. Ergonomically, the DC is easier to reach the upper frets with the heel joint being lower on the neck due to the body shape and the body is about 5mm thinner than the SC. I own two 2021 Core 594s, one DC and one SC, so I have personal experience. I will never part with either. Having also listened to your LP vs the DC video, it seems like the LP and SC sound more similar than the DC. But I'll wait for the LP vs SC video for my final verdict on that. My suggestion is to keep the DC as the SC will sound and feel more similar to the LP.

[@christiancalderonduarte1905]

I've always preferred the SC versions, but I loved the DC this time, the tone is more unique, it has more personality. I always thought the 594 to be a little sterile sounding, but these improvements (Bridge, tci pickups) just WOW

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Well said, man! This has been my experience too. These improvements are legit!

[@BAMozzy69]

They are similar enough to be interchangeable and probably couldn't tell the difference in a Mix so it comes down to personal choice. I prefer the DC myself as they are generally a bit lighter and have better access due to joining the body at a higher fret so the heel isn't so intrusive - very 'minor' differences of course - like the tonal difference too considering you'd also get minor tonal differences between DC's or SC's due to differences in their natural materials. I have known people to 'prefer' the SC just because the toggle switch on the upper horn 'looks' odd there on a DC in their opinion. In my opinion, it really does come down to individual preference because in a mix, no-one could tell whether you were playing a DC or SC 594. Both sound incredibly similar and with a slight 'tweak' of amp/EQ settings, you could get them sounding even closer - especially as they sound so similar with the 'same' Amp/EQ settings. Therefore, I would choose based on weight, based on aesthetics etc as they both sound 'similar' enough to be interchangeable...

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Well put and thanks for the input!

[@beljakovinc]

SC for me...that would be this morning, while others I would pick the other one :) SC would stay at home based on songs listened today. One is better fit for some genre while other is for others... I noticed that playing different guitars makes me adopt my style to them. With LP I just go for sustain and less notes while with Tele for more tones, less "stops" and using some open strings...it's even different inspiration and philosophy playing on the same backtrack and that is the magic of playing an instrument. Keep both, you don't need a car :) p.s.: that "e" pullofs to "d" at 7:54 reminded me to intro of Dry country song by JBJ

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Well said man! I can very much relate to these points. I also adapt my style to different guitars, which makes even harder for me to let one go 😁.

[@samohtben]

Great video. The single cut just sounds fuller and clearer somehow, and more pleasing to me in all gain levels. Your playing sounds good on anything though.

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thank you! Appreciate your observations and the kind words. I did notice that clarity nuance in the AB solo section especially.

[@garrettmundy4914]

Simple choice for me, as I don't like quilt tops. However I do think the DC is just that little bit nicer tonewise. As you say, probably the TCI pickups.

[@RatherBeRiffing]

I can relate. Quilt and or one piece tops are not my personal preference, but I had the opportunity to pick up SC used at less than half of what it retailed for so I went with it at the time. I’m really impressed with the TCI pickups and curious how they’d sound in the SC, but not enough so to break out the soldering iron ha! 😁

[@delamar6199]

Although I find the Singlecut looks nicer the double cut has something really special. Watching you while playing I also had the impression you enjoyed the double cut more and felt more engaged with this one.

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Quite perceptive! I did feel more engaged with the DC. I’m still in the honeymoon phase with it, but I think I am bonding with it more in general. As others have commented as well, it just has something special going on.

The single cut is slightly darker and warmer, the double cut high top is usefulr for piercing solo. Its your choice really.

[@BillyRiffinDaTube]

I think you play great on both, but it is clear that your playing is smoother and stronger on the doublecut. Can't lose with either one but you looked and sounded more comfortable on the double. For me, I'd prob take the singlecut as I am more comfortable on those.

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thanks, William! Great points. I ended up keeping the DC and those reasons were part of my deciding factors.

[@blackbearbear9313]

[@renwestmaria]

Late to the pole, but the single cut sounds fuller to me. Not to mention is a 10 on looks especially that single piece top is absolutely stunning. It's really a no brainer and tbh a part of me thinks you were already going with the single cut anyway.

[@RatherBeRiffing]

Thanks, Paul! It was love at first sight, but I actually fought off my g.a.s when I initially saw it new on their site. I said to myself that if I ever saw it on the used market that I’d have no choice but to grab it. As much of a pipe dream that was, it resurfaced used on Reverb a couple of months later and we know the rest of the story from there 😁.

[@partyxplays]

I would probably prefer the singlecut version. But if I wanted a double cut I'd just get a custom 24 because they would have more versatility than the 594 doublecut

[@RatherBeRiffing]

What about the custom 24 do you find provides more versatility? I had a killer DGT that I thought was super versatile, but shied away from the 25” scale length over time.

[@ShamanicSavant]

I'm torn, they're both great looking, great sounding guitars. I have the DC, but it was more about the specific guitar than any preference between the two. I do think the DC is more ergonomic and less of an LP clone. When I was trying them out, there weren't any clear differences between them that couldn't be attributed to individual guitars sounding different. I could have gone either way, but the one that grabbed me just happened to be a DC. It's from a WL run that Eddie's did back in 2017. Really special top that's in between a flame and quilt done in Jade Green, with WL options no longer available since 2020. Personally I think the TCI thing is a marketing gimmick, the original 58/15LTs are phenomenal pickups. The cheap plastic Kluson clones were also marketed as an upgrade, but they're not. Glad mine has the Phase IIIs, they're so much more fitting on a $5k PRS. I love your playing, wish I was that smooth on a guitar :)

[@RatherBeRiffing]

I can relate to all of this really. I’m bonding more with the DC, but can’t conclusively say what the difference maker really is. Best I can infer from the whole TCI thing is that it’s a manufacturing tech that enables PRS to more accuracy voice to their preference consistently - doesn’t make them inherently bette than non-TCI pickups. Agree, the 58-15 LTs are great pickups either way! I like the look of the tulips, but the material does look cheap.

I don’t like the look of the DC but, I think it did sounded better on this one though the SC has that quirkily curling high end that is more like a Jimmy Page sound. If you like the look I’d keep the dc. Btw, god you play well.

Thanks, Henry! Interesting observation about the high end of the SC! It also reminds me of JP’s sound. The DC has less of that quality, but my Gibson Les Paul covers that well (so another reason to keep the DC instead 😀).
