The McCarty 594 Hollowbody II brings a new set of features to one of our most beloved models: the Hollowbody II. With fully hollow construction, the Hollowbody II is a resonant guitar with warm, woody tone. The details carried over from the McCarty 594 model impart vintage character to this already classic instrument. 58/15 LT pickups, which have now been through the TCI (tuned capacitance and inductance) process, ensure that these guitars are clear and musical while dual volume and push/pull tone controls offer plenty of versatility. The zinc two-piece bridge and vintage-style tuners anchor this guitar and stay true to the promise of the McCarty family.
Whether you are looking for rich, authentic humbucking tones or nuanced, sweet single-coil sounds, the McCarty 594 Hollowbody II can oblige. Additional appointments include a bound, 22-fret, 24.594” scale length Pattern Vintage neck with rosewood fretboard and PRS trademark bird inlays.
“One of my sayings is that everything that touches the string is God – well, that’s really the bridge, the nut, and the tuners. The updates to the McCarty family make a huge difference in their tone. The guitar sustains longer and the tone has more character,” said Paul Reed Smith.
In 2020, PRS updated this model with TCI-tuned pickups and nitro over cellulose (CAB) finish.Model: McCarty 594 Hollowbody II - 10 Top and BackFinish Type: High-Gloss NitroFinish Color: McCarty Tobacco SunburstWeight: 5.72 lbs.Top Wood: Carved Flamed Maple with F-HolesBack Wood: Carved Flamed MapleBody Wood: MahoganyNeck Wood: MahoganyNeck Shape: Pattern VintageNeck Dimensions: 1st .890 - 12th .970Fingerboard Material: Rosewood with Faux Bone BindingFingerboard Inlays: BirdsFingerboard Radius: 10"Scale Length: 24.594"Frets: 22Width at Nut: 1 11/16"Nut Material: BoneHardware: NickelPickups: 2 TCI-Tuned 58/15 LT HumbuckersControls: Two Volume and Two Push/Pull Tone Controls with 3-Way Toggle Pickup SwitchTuners: PRS Vintage-Style Non-Locking Tuners with Wing ButtonsBridge: PRS 2-Piece Zinc and Brass StoptailCase: PRS Black Hardshell
