FS/FT: 2017 PRS McCarty 594 Single Cut - Price Drop!

zedhex

I have finally decided to sell my 594 Singlecut in Charcoal. I've had this guitar for a couple of years now, and I've played it fairly regularly, mostly for recording. I have played precisely one gig with it, and other than that, it has spent its entire life at home.

What else can say about a guitar of this quality?  - it's just a beautiful design, the build quality is as good as it gets, everything has been really well thought out.  The hardware is absolutely top quality, and the workmanship is flawless. The neck is a dream to play, very slick with beautifully finished stainless frets.  All guitars have a basic tone, and this one is big, thick and syrupy. If you're into vintage Gibson Les Paul tones, this guitar will do it more precisely than almost any other I've tried (and I have owned a few). It also has the most extraordinary amount of sustain, see the video below and you will hear what I mean.

It's also possible to produce quite surprising range of tones using the coil taps and volume controls; It can even get quite a passable fake-Strat tone by using the coil splits and adjusting the volumes and tones..

The frets are unworn - not a single sign of any wear (I obviously didn't play it enough), and the neck is a Pattern Vintage profile, with an Indian rosewood fretboard.

It comes with all documentation and a premium PRS hardcase

Brand-new, these things are selling for almost £4000, so this is a chance to get a guitar in near-new condition for over thousand pounds less than the new price. I don't think the word 'bargain' and 'PRS' often appear in the same sentence, but that's about as near as you are going to get.

I will be putting it on Reverb for £2500, but as I won't have to pay their percentage if someone on the Fretboard wants it, I can let it go for £2300 on here.

I am located in St Neots, which is about 15 miles west of Cambridge. If you don't want to travel so far, I could always meet you halfway - but any further than 50 miles, I would have to start asking for a contribution to my fuel costs. If you want it shipped, there will be an additional £35 to pay, and if you want it insured, this will cost extra (I have one quote for £2000 of cover for £99, but I'm sure I could find something for the full price)

So why am I selling it? I currently have 14 guitars, and I'm trying to operate a strict one in, one out policy. I just bought a much older vintage guitar, and I need to refresh my bank balance!

Update: may trade for an interesting amplifier - preferably something Marshall-ish or maybe a Kemper

Linking to videos on this site is nothing but a real PITA - I think I have fixed it by linking direct to my YouTube video. Hopefully this works now

Pre-Christmas bump

after the vast amount of interest before Christmas (precisely zero), I have updated the pictures - the old ones really didn't give the old girl any justice.

Beautiful guitar and nice to see someone local. I’m in Godmanchester so not far from you. 

Good luck with the sale!

Update: I may also trade this for an interesting amplifier. Preferably with valves and Marshall-ish, but I could also be interested in a Kemper

zedhex

Also interested in a Line 6 Helix
