I absolutely love the way their stop bar tail piece looks

Without fail… the jams with PRS guitars are always the most melodic, no idea if it’s the way they play or sound that inspire you to play like this when you do PRS

Yes! I needed to hear this as I have to practice more constant and organized on weaknesses specifically more theory. You and Henning have led me to the amzing gear I have today I which has motivated me to play way more however easy to be distracted so hearing this helps immensely!

I keep coming back to this video, over and over. Lee and Pete, that jam out just resonates with my soul. !!!

Really enjoy your videos. I can see you guys enjoy what you do, plus you have the knowledge and skills.

I was checking out SE245 all day and now this video comes out? It is a sign from the universe.

Love that they did this, great video guys! I was hoping the double cut color would be closer to the factory image but hey, get watcha get. They still look amazing!

More great guitars, I learn a lot from this channel!

Awesome stuff! The 594 is my fav PRS design simply for the fact that you get 2 volume controls 😄 I was turned away from the screen when he switched to the double cut, and I agree, it's def a bit brighter. It has its whole own tone, and I totally love it!

loving the call and response boys at the end.

Fair play The Captain, possibly the best intro jam you’ve done yet! Short, sweet and melodic. Good job !

I love these models , the Amber burst is definitely my favourite finish .

Between this one and the SE DGT, we are in for a treat this year with PRS !

Great jam fellas! PRS YES!

I bought the double cut version. Its my favorite guitar now.

I just got the McCarty and it is so sweet!

Love my PRS SE!

Beautiful 😍 sound

I ordered mine yesterday. I got the single cutaway like Pete is playing but in the black gold finish. I'll have it on Friday.

Love both my 594s - a 2016 Core Double Cut (bought from Andertons LOL) and my most recent 2019 594 Double cut Hollowbody version (my Avatar pic) and both are exceptional instruments. The Pattern Vintage maybe a bit 'chunkier' than other PRS necks, but to me, it feels like its 'broken in', worn asymmetrically over 'years' of playing to fit my hand perfectly - not 'new'. The rolled edges always help but the carve too helps more. The DC does allow a bit more higher fret access. Its not just the fact that the top section joins the body at a 'higher' fret, but that also means the 'heel' is further back allowing a bit more 'neck' before it thickens to the heel. Not to say the Single Cut doesn't have decent access and the scoop on the cutaway does help their too but there is a difference. I think it does make a difference in the tone too. I think its great that now more people can now get these 'amazing' vintage inspired guitars. They may not be 'as good' as a Core, not the 'best' Pups, Pots, wires, fret wire, nuts, tuners etc that you can get with a Core, but they certainly aren't a 'quarter' of the guitar for a quarter of the Price. Smart 'compromises' to save on the cost - like overseas production to 'save' on the labour and overhead costs, veneer to save on 'pretty' wood costs, shallower carves to save on 'Hands on' time required to sand/finish those guitars etc. According to PRS, a Core Violin carve takes a lot longer to train someone to sand after CNC than an S2 - 3-4x longer so 1 person can't get through as 'many' per day and/or costs 3-4x the labour cost in time. 1 per hour or whatever the 'hourly' pay or 1/4 of an hour to do an S2 so only a quarter of a hours labour cost per guitar. Its a 'smart' compromise as its not compromising the playability, the features, the reliability etc to sell at a lower cost...

Man, those things sound great! PRS tone and quality at an affordable price? Seems good to me.

That red one that Pete is playing to start is gorgeous

I love my PRS McCarty 594 SE double cut in faded blue. I need a single cut to go with it. This is a great guitar. Get one.

I love that red standard!

I LOVE how the tops came out on these

Thank you paul

7:55-8:20 you guys are so funny! You make my day always! Cheers from 🇨🇦

Gorgeous backing track intro and wow, Lee, lovely demo of how less really IS more!

i just bought the double cut.. same color burst with lee. such as magical guitar!

The bigest difference between the single and double cut is the strap mounting point is in a different position. Double cuts generally balance slightly better, though i'm sure that there is some personal preference in this too.

I have two artist package 594s, both singlecut, one with HB’s the other with soapbars. I recently purchased the SE SC594, and it really is surprisingly close to the cores. As they mentioned the SE is a little more compressed with a touch less high end, but maybe a little more mid bite. Which makes the SE work a bit better for just rocking out. But I do plan on sanding down the SE neck. The finish just doesn’t feel as good as the cores. But to be fair the soapbar has a bare rosewood neck. And nothing beats that. :)

Looking forward to the prs dgt se guitar I heard good things about it, let’s go!

My god, captain, such sweet licks. Nice.

Captain what an intro Man!

As an amateur pickup winder, I'll speculate on one reason why the Core PRS sounds brighter and more complex than the SE version: While the pickups might have the same spec on paper (low 7.2k wind, A2 magnets), the baseplate and covers are probably made from different materials to save costs. I'll guess the Core pickups have nickel silver baseplates and covers, while the SE versions have brass baseplates and either nickel-plated brass covers or nickel silver covers with copper underplating (guesswork on my part, not having inspected either). Both of those changes will subtly roll off the highest frequencies - where the open complexity lives - resulting in a slight cutoff at the top end. Other factors will influence the tone, including the wood and overall construction, but the pickup materials absolutely will make that specific kind of difference.

There's a good video on the PRS channel with Paul talking about how they build pickups. There's a lot that goes into the core pickups that they can't replicate exactly with the SEs

A minor detail that I’ve always appreciated was the shine glowing off of PRS SE pups. It’s a completely aesthetic detail, but really flashes the quality PRS puts into every detail.

What? All manufacturers that use chrome pickups are shiny. These are no shinier than Epiphone's chrome covers, or Ibanez, or ESP, etc. Completely nonsensical...

We need the video for the SE DGT!!!

You can hear the difference between se and usa through good headphones. Pete is correct. Usa is brighter and there is a little something extra in the mids. The se line is fantastic though and sound great as well. I own one of the old se custom 22 semi hollows from before they changed the logo and added the vibrato. I love it.

when you guys are jammin its cool you notice when the other guy is into a wicked improve idea like when at the end jam pete playing with his fingers pullin the string to a long drawn out bend.Oh the first groove you guys were playin over had a killer drum well ah groove again and the chord selection was awesome to i would of murdered playin some long drawn out bends to it but great stuff really right on.

Still waiting on my PRS SE McCarty 594 in faded blue that I preordered a little over a month ago. All I've seen from reviews on KZread is praise.

Wish you guys would put a clock on the wall. I'm always intrigued as to what time you're filming

I just picked up a Vintage Cherry SE 594 Single Cut today from my local guitar shop. $699! I was actually looking for an SE Paul’s Guitar but I couldn’t pass on the SC 594.

Got my eye on the DGT SE video that andertons will eventually be doing

5:20 fun fact: the old ‘58 and ‘59 Les Paul that Paul Smith measured were 24 and 19/32 inches, which is 24.59375”, so they round it up to 24.594, hence the name 594 ;)

SE’s have come a long way since the flat top SE Santana with weird looking inlays. These 594 do sound and look good.

Great video. I never knew Paul and ted collaborated way back in 1994 to make the mcarty594 🤔

Got mine about 2-3 weeks ago, is exactly like the one Lee is playing at the beginning. Looks absolutely amazing, high quality look but was way out on intonation, couldn't play a chord that didn't sound horrible. I fixed it as far as I could but ran out of bridge space to keep moving back. Sweetwater has now to see if it can be fixed, hopefully the bridge is not set wrong. It measures the same distance as my les paul which should be further from the nut. I don't know 😕

I finally got to plug one of these in today. I was extremely impressed. The tone, feel and sustain were very gibson-esque with phenomenal playability. Probably see one in my future.

Don't think you can get much better for the price. Schecter would be the only guitars that may come close in value, I have the same wine red 594 singlecut in this video. Guitar absolutely sings and stays in tune for the 600$ and change I paid for it. Perfect guitar to start on/gig with if you're already an established guitar player.

I have two 594 cores and they are amazing, I sold all my Gibsons for these two and they are the perfect les Paul style guitar. If these are anything close, they will be killer at that price.

I would not sell my Les Paul Custom because I have a McCarty 594. There is enough of a difference. The LP weight causes the diving neck forward when sitting with it and it has heavier creamy sound. Yes I don't play my LP as much as I prefer the more balanced sound of my 594 but it's still nice to have but that is me.

SE guitars are really cool, I teach lessons during the week and I use an S2 594 for my lessons. I use that guitar between 6 and 8 hours a day 4 days a week. It plays great and it gets the job done, but my pickup selector has broken off due to wear. And my one of my coil splits stopped working, plus the knob has been stripped off the tone pot. I am in the process of replacing my electronics with the PRS core stuff. If you use a guitar as much as I do I would consider this information.

Hey Andertons, how about occasionally adding a metric that nobody else seems to, which is a spectrum analyzer. With compression at your end and at youtube, it’s not always easy to tell. It would also possibly answer some questions about wood. I see in a lot of reviews, you talk about the richness and depths of particular guitars, without explaining why that isn’t always a desirable quality. It’s worth commenting that on G&L strats, they opted to go with a a bass cut as well as a treble cut on the tone controls. I don’t think less experienced players realize that sometimes a narrow band which gets your frequencies out of other band members way is an advantage to the bands overall sound. In a studio frequencies are regularly shelved, sometimes starting with a less expansive guitar can be a good start. Something which may not be understood by people looking for a guitar or amp that can fill a room, rather than fill a slot when sandwiched by a band

Lee is Just getting better and better

Good Morning Guys all the best to you wish I was residing in your area would have paid a visit for sure. Your place is a Creator's Heaven world .... My collection of Guitars is reaching to 50 and all because of Danish Pete who is one of my favorite Guitar players .... Cheers from Los Angeles.....

Late to the party on this, but I just wanted to add the red single cut Standard version is more impressive in person. Just tried one at GC and really liked it. I don't usually like the thicker neck profile, but it really plays nice. Way better value for money than the Core line. (Although admittedly the Core models are beautiful to look at.)

Stunning Guitars and Playing as usual. Although I am not a fan of the Bird Inlays for some reason, just never have been. Any Love for Music Man Guitars? Recently picked one up as a Bargain second Hand, WOW, So amazing a guitar has quickly become my favorite Strat Style guitar I own. Cheers

O my goodness the captain on a roll with Pete coming after your little sister and rubber gloves 😉

intro so nice I had to watch twice

You've convinced me to buy this guitar, just what I need, another guitar!! Hahaha. Pete, off topic question, what is the brand and model of the tennis shoes your wearing, I want to buy a pair. Great show guys! You make it fun and interesting. Thank you!

I own one of the second production year, original McCarty Core model guitars. They did have the slightly thicker body and lower output pickups over the "normal" PRS guitars. It has a control layout just like the other PRS guitars....1 volume, 1 tone w/coil split (the first coil split was no where near as nice as the newer designs!) & a 3 way toggle in the older PRS standard positioning.....and a 25" scale length. Plays and sounds Great (except for that older coil split... losing so much volume!) and I do prefer the control layout on the older version.... just personal preference! I've never liked the dual volume, dual tone control setup.

1:13 Yeah, that was a great note.

These look and sound beautiful. But I just found a CE24 demo that was $600 off so I couldn’t refuse 🤘🏼🎸

I want one so so bad

the surface vibrations have more surface area to cover on their way to the pickups in a single cut. a double cut has less surface area from neck joint to pickups this acts as a natural focus of vibrations in a tighter run to the pickups as there is less wood to diffuse or dampen vibrations if there was a way to measure strength of vibration on a surface I imagine the meter would show lower level vibes ib the single cut as you venture further from neck joint Pauls gift is the face he can wind those pick ups to compensate and pull more from the string action to compensate for less body "ring" just a thought

Lee A's playing just keeps improving. I'm clearly gonna have to get some lessons.

The double cut burst is the one I want. I did want the SE David Grissom but when I saw it had a blacked out back, I changed my mind - screams "cheap guitar". Too bad too, I think I'd like the DGT neck and pickups a little more. BTW that's still the Gibson scale length - it's always rounded off to 24 3/4".

That's a nice guitar.

Great informiert and beautiful guitars. I think i wont a prs in the future

Hi! I'm Paolo from Italy. Gorgeous guitar also in the studio edition... my favourite with Gibson les paul, sg and prs santana... only pity: 22 frets... with 24 would be more than perfect (forgive my english... io parlo italiano/je parle francais) thanks for your recensions!

I can't decide between the prs SE 594 and the se DGT for my first big boy guitar.

Pete could make any Guitar sound great!

Lee, Rest assured that we can hear the tonal differences you are referring to. It is not squelched out of our input feed. You can hear warmer brighter muted sounds from the guitars as you play them. We dont get it full in our ears like you. I believe it hits at what we can really tell as easilyfar as nuanced between the lines/models. The difference between the SE and Lees 10 top were minimal and could be EQd easily. LEE, please ask Paul to TMDCSE in Purple Iris PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:32 it's very affordable to upgrade the switch nut and pickup pole screws to hybrid hardware yourself, waaaaaay less than £100!

Intro reminds me of wading out by favorite people

Also bill Lawrence worked for Gibson. His pickups are great

That what I read is a book years ago. I believe Gibson use the "Rule of 18" to locate fret long location. The original plan with Les Paul's was Custom- maple tops, Standard-solid mahogany body.

Curious to know what you guys think of the SE DGT! Are you going to review that one?

He really has gotten better hasn't he

I believe I have a discerning ear...that 594 se sounded practically identical, a shade darker tho!

Just got a second hand 245 SE Scarlet Red which I think sounds quite bright compared to what I’d expect from a single cut LP style . Had been itching for the DGT SE to arrive but it’s pricey for an SE but guess these new SE 594 MCcarty models are similarly priced ? Torture !!
