In this stylish documentary, Paul Reed Smith shares the insight and inspiration behind the McCarty 594 – a modern electric guitar with a vintage soul. PRS Guitars acknowledged the fact that musicians searched far and wide for vintage tones, but still desired modern features. The McCarty 594 fit the bill perfectly, delivering platinum vinyl sound in a Spotify era. When musicians like John Mayer picked up this axe, it confirmed what Paul Reed Smith already knew – this is a very special guitar.

The film was delivered to key music media, including Rolling Stone, which helped build up the cache of the guitar, as well as the brand itself. Today the McCarty 594 continues to be a sought-after top seller, even holding significant value in the resell market.
