  • It depends on what one looks for. To me louder and brighter isn´t as appealing. I picked the les pauls every time, specially when that cherry double cut appeared…

  • Great fun watching this video! My opinion is the PRS’s swept the LP’s in this comparison. I just liked them better.

  • Hi Tim – what is your opinion on the PRS Core McCarty vs the PRS S2 McCarty? Can you tell a difference?

  • The Search for the ultimate snare drum tone…and Michael Deroshire came as close as you can on Barracuda. Tone off Heart's Barracuda is EPIC…everyone in the 70s had their own tone like cars…they all looked different over today…

  • Didn’t Howard get one of the first Soldano’s?? I’d love to hear that story, and what albums he used it on.

  • It's not that I'm a huge gibson fan but at 57secnds actually to me the gibson was a little bit more crisp.. with a little more clarity.. the PRS very close.. of course to my ears..

  • Both great guitars .
    But the LP sounds more beefy.
    I like to hear that in a guitar.

  • The Gibson's have a Mojo. The PRS is lacking in the low end and has a harsh brittle high end.

  • I need a prs. The les paul is the perfect guitar imo. I also need a strat . I'm such weirdo. I need money actually .

  • I have both prs and gibson. I love 2 but nothing sounds like a good Les Paul. I'm sorry. listening to the guitars alone there can be some discussion but in the context of a band there is no discussion.

  • I started playing guitar at 55 yoa. I'm presently 63 and I'm looking at buying my "Dream" production guitar. I'm more of traditional Gibby camp and I'm looking at the '58 reissues. I like just about everything about the feel and the tone of the '58s I've tried but I struggle with the binding bleed on them. I get it, they are trying to look authentic. I have not been able to play a singlecut 594. Ihave not found one within 250 miles. I have played a doublecut. I liked it a lot but want to try a singlecut. I felt the double was slightly "brighter" than the singlecut. Would that be correct. This was very helpful. Thank you both.

    I had a CE that I didn't like he neck profile. I just bought a DGT that will receive in a couple of days. I'm hoping it will become my #1.

  • If the guy that owns a real burst is saying the 594 sounds pretty much identical, then that's something right there.

  • I just picked up one of these. Holy wow. My old pre lawsuit single cut was my favorite guitar for years. This new McCarty 594 Single Cut beats it hands down. I can't put it down.

  • You can keep all the Les Pauls in the world and I will always Love and prefer my PRS 594, IMO the best guitar for the money in the world and better than Les Pauls and Fenders who have totally lost any interest in Quality Control. Paul Reed Smith really cares and you will NEVER find a better guitar no matter how much you spend because Paul not only is obsessed with Quality Control he makes the finest guitars money can buy. Hands Down!!!!
