PRS reached out to me to see if I'd like to try out any of their new models! Out of my selections, they decided to send me the new PRS SE McCarty 594 Standard and Flame Top models to try. These were a few nitpicky details that maybe could've been enhanced, but overall, I was very pleased with the playability and tone. I'd definitely suggest the straight mahogany SE McCarty Standard

Mahogany top looks great.

[@Turboy65]

If a full thickness maple top might make a tonal difference, I am pretty sure that a mere veneer isn't going to make any difference to the tone of the instrument. It's just not enough to change anything but the looks.

I think they sound nice. Glad that PRS finally added McCarty’s to the SE range. It’s been overdue.

Fun fact, the scale of the ‘59 Les Paul that Paul Smith did measure was 24 and 19/32, so 24.59375… so rounded up to 24.594”

[@andrewbecker3700]

Who'd have thought, that just a few months later in the same year, PRS would be blowing these out at 20% off list price. I just scored a Vintage Cherry standard for $629 with a little haggling. Its 7lbs. 12ozs. with the most even grained consistent mahogany I've seen on one yet. Just a flawless top and back, and even the neck and headstock have perfectly matched grain and color. I looked at dozens of them from various sources and they ALL had wildly varying grain patterns and dark patches. The good ones get snatched up fast.

[@andrewbecker3700]

I like the way Phil McKnight described the situation. If your looking for absolute perfect paint and finish QC, maybe Gibson isn't the guitar for you? Many brands are blowing guitars through Cortek Indonesia factories for under $1000 U.S. and they come out great. But it's not apples to apples. When 85% of the construction is done with automation in Indonesia, and 85% of the construction is done by hand in the U.S. the price SHOULD be different.

[@ShaneStoneOfficial]

Yep… I literally only play PRS guitars anymore. Have owned Givsons, Fenders, Schecters, Ibanez, and LTD guitars… none of them compare to the quality of a PRS. Don’t get me wrong, an SE Definitely will be below the quality of a Gibson over 2k but it will be pretty damn close! Now, if you buy a $3000 Gibson and a $3000 PRS, I promise on everything I owned that the PRS will be far better quality. They get it right every time, regardless of the model, because they don’t let ANYTHING leave their factory without being thoroughly looked over. PRS for life. Ibanez is definitely #2

[@DaBigE67]

That vintage cherry is absolutely freakin' stunning. Their take on the color is top notch. 🤘😵🥃Cheers!!

[@atlasshrugged6435]

I overlooked this brand for a while as I’m a Strat guy. I was in the market for another Strat, when the guy at the guitar store handed me the Custom PRS SE 24-08. Played it for about an hour straight in the store and of course I took it home. I absolutely love it. Don’t know how it stands up to the more expensive PRS models, but it does everything, sounds amazing, and most importantly it feels amazing. Couldn’t be happier.

[@joshuatavares2384]

That’s their strength. They take quality serious and make sure things are to customer satisfaction. Granted, you have issues but any mass production is going to have misses. I’m really tempted to get the lefty prs that’s about 850$

[@fp3359]

A question please: Being a Strat guy, how do you rate the sounds humb resp. single coil And the playability vs. your Strat ?

[@atlasshrugged6435]

@@fp3359 I’m running this through a Boss Katana, and there’s no hum at all. Keep in mind there are 8 different pickup configurations (hence the name), and I like the humbucker settings, so I don’t really go single/single at all, which may have something to do with the “no hum. I may go single/humbucker at times (still no hum), but I’m using this for times when I want that “Gibson sound”, so single/single ain’t happening. Which brings me to your next question. I personally hate Gibson’s. Not the sound or look, but how they feel. This guitar thankfully has more of a Strat feel to it. The neck profile however is much flatter at a 10” radius, so that may take some getting used to. That and the 24 frets. I got lost a time or two at first when I first played it. I’m still a Strat guy at the end of the day, but this guitar was surprisingly enjoyable to play. My best advice would be to go try it for yourself though and go nuts. I’d hate to steer you wrong, but I honestly think you’d be extremely happy if you were on the fence at the moment and decided to pull the trigger. It’s a great guitar. Anyway, hope that helps 🤟🎸

Yeah I've got a (SE) 24-08 and it's my main gigging guitar, even though I've got Gibson Les Paul, Fender Strat, Fender Tele and more. It's just so versatile. I now also have a brand new SE McCarty 594, so it might become the new workhorse 😎. Stunning guitar.

[@donbishop6994]

The 24.594 scale is meant to mimic the small run of (I believe) 57 les pauls. It was a small error and was only on a handful but McCarty thought was the best feeling lp neck. So he reproduced it as closely as possible for prs.

[@donbishop6994]

@@dubster82 it's very close. The 24 3/4 is the closest measurement that the general public understands. Gibson also marks their scale length in a weird way. The measurement starts in the middle of the nut, not where the nut ends.

[@joermnyc]

I was hoping someone would compare the custom and standard 594, thanks! If your knob is dragging, the pot itself might need to be raised slightly, but that could be a QC issue.

[@stephanegagnon5430]

Maple top is definitely more bright. But in the bridge position the mahogany sound so good. Like the wood balance the harshest

[@tinystar3010]

If I could find a set of cream PRS SE pickup rings, I'd get the wine red and match the rings to the binding and tuner tips. There's zero difference in tone, and the natural mahogany looks far nicer than a thin veneer. Plus add on the savings. If the maple top was true flame maple it'd be a harder choice.

[@mikeomatic9905]

I'm actually quite surprised it came with black rings (and pickup switch cover). I agree that cream would look a lot better.

[@kcd2120]

They’re only $8 at Sweetwater

[@Russell_Optics]

I think the mahogany top with the dark cherry finish looks better than the maple top. It looks rich and sounds great.

[@leeasbury7273]

Both great guitars. I'd like a double cut; AND a mahogany single cut! I'll probably end up with each honestly.

[@ocmonman1]

The next step up for a PRS review should be a CE model with the bolt on neck and US made pickups. I’d really like to see that. The neck profile would be different too.

[@SirNicholasHerron]

Well I don't have a review video but I do own a CE24! It's an amazing guitar and maybe my second most versatile. The neck shape is really nice (I prefer a thinner neck) and the satin finish is one of my favorite features of the whole guitar. Tuning stability is A+, and the coil splits do a really nice job of getting close to single coil while still keeping a really nice tone. I find the tone about 75 percent single coil, but its a nice change up from a typical strat if that's what you are looking for. All in all a great guitar. Has the makings of a nice studio do it all guitar that cuts well through a mix.

[@markfahey3921]

just a personal note, I've played guitar since the early seventies, and I am coming to a (personal) conclusion, that the less plastic on a guitar, the better. No plastic binding on neck or body for me, it's inorganic.

[@adamb.6359]

I went with the tobacco burst. Out the box it was more than I expected. Just one very minor finish flaw but it’s a keeper.

I much prefer the way PRS does their all mahogany SE guitars as opposed to an Epiphone SG where they put a mahoghany veneer over a mahogany body. I would gladly pay PRS or Epiphone the extra amount it takes to build a guitar this way. That's a beautiful red color too. Might have to try one out.

PRS is doing a good job at capturing the old Gibson vibe. People still don’t seem to take Epiphone & put them on the same level as an SE for some weird reason.

there is no such thing as "tonewood" on a solid-body electric guitar. Come on now, I know you watch Glen Fricker

Amen brother

Though Glenn also caveats his wood experiments "no difference for metal tone". He did say there was a very slight difference on clean tones. So in reality tonewood is a thing in solid bodies, just such a tiny thing it's not worth losing sleep over. One notch on the tone dial would likely equalise it.

I think you should make a video about Ernie Ball Music Man - Silhouette Special. Would be very cool to see!

Maple top def has a crispier, brighter quality to the tone. It's not significant, but it's there. Both look and sound great.

Maybe I play differently but would have to file that overhang off the nut before it drove me nuts.. here's a thought-have quest guitarists demo once in awhile, now don't take it the wrong way, only a thought....

Some of the finest guitars from PRS

for me, i like the sound of the one with the maple top.

[@stevegroves]

Uncapped version way better tone wise, warmer and far more depth, just my view. Great vid cheers!
