Key Features
One for the artists. The PRS McCarty 10-Top is a guitar which simply has it all. From its luscious vintage look to its flawless features and astounding sound, it'll bring a smile to the face of all musicians.

Its highly figured, flame maple top comes from PRS's exclusive 10-Top stock - a title reserved only for the most desirable woods available.
It's blossoming with attention to detail. From the beautifully carved pattern vintage mahogany neck to the luscious rosewood fretboard with PRS's bird inlays, this guitar offers the ideal playing experience. A bevelled cutaway design makes for smooth, easy access to upper frets, and the McCarty's high-end hardware gives rock solid tuning stability. Boasting premium craftsmanship and exceptional playability, the McCarty 10-Top will immediately become your most treasured possession.

The pinnacle of guitar lumber. The term '10-Top' is used by PRS to describe hand-selected maple tops which are particularly exceptional, both in look and in tone, used only in their finest guitars. 10-Top models feature rare pieces of maple which are fully and clearly figured across the entire slab, with a truly superb resonance, entirely devoid of 'dead spots'.
10-Top models are marked with a small '10' in the upper right hand corner of the back of the headstock for easy identification, but their dazzling elegance is hard to miss regardless.
They work hard. Delivering clear, punchy, articulate tone, the 58/15 LT humbuckers will take your sound where it needs to go. Their Low Turn design means they produce a well-rounded, medium output tone that gives just enough bite, with no loss of clarity. They've been through a special TCI process, meaning they've been fine tuned to suit the natural tone of this guitar..
The bridge humbucker has the classic, mid-forwardt voicing with more than enough bite, growl mixed with warmth and balance. Then there's the neck pickup. Perfect for playing wailing lead lines and thickening up chords, it has a deep voicing all its own. Both humbuckers can also produce a crisp, punchy single coil sound through the dedicated push/pull tone controls. A broad palette of sounds and a truly bespoke playing experience
A defined legacy. The McCarty series is dedicated to Ted McCarty, one of the pioneers of electric guitars. PRS have made these guitars the centrepieces of their innovations in homage to McCarty's own knack for pushing progress. They boast some of the finest features and best playability around – and they sound sublime. Now adding this McCarty 10-Top to the McCarty series, PRS have innovated once again to bring you a stunning, premium guitar.
Ultimately, a guitar should spark creativity – not restrict it. Which is why every aspect of the McCarty is constructed with playability in mind. Experience easy transitions across the entirety of the fretboard thanks to an ultra-smooth rosewood surface. It's combined with a sleek mahogany neck that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, for endless hours of comfortable practice and performance. Enjoy effortless access to the upper frets with an ergonomic single-cutaway body design. So, whether you're shredding up high or unleashing fat, low-end riffs – this guitar offers a feel that's tailored to the player.
Play without limits. The hardware adorning this pristine guitar will give you complete peace of mind, whether you’re practising or performing. A sturdy PRS adjustable hardtail bridge holds your strings firmly in place, offering effective tuning stability and maximum sustain. Phase 3 vintage-style tuners are perfectly in keeping with the aesthetics of this guitar, whilst also enhancing tuning stability. From its unmistakable PRS bird inlays to its impeccable electronics, the McCarty 594 is a prime example of why PRS are at the top of their game.
