PRS is ramping up its announcements ahead of the WInter NAMM 2019. It’s just been in touch to tell us about the McCarty 594 Hollowbody II. This guitar looks like a nice take on the McCarty/Hollowbody II models and puts some great features into an aesthetically pleasing package.

McCarty 594 Hollowbody II

By combining the Hollowbody II and McCarty 594 designs, PRS has made a fully hollow build guitar and paired it with a set of low turn 58/15 LT humbucking pickups.

I imagine that this guitar will sound very sweet indeed. Those two factors will play a huge part in the tone of this new McCarty 594 Hollowbody II. It could well be a match made in heaven. You know PRS will have executed this design using the best tonewoods possible.

24.594”

It combines a pretty, figured maple top and back with a mahogany middle. Then there’s the 24.594” scale length, 22-fret mahogany ‘Pattern Vintage’ neck with a rosewood fretboard. I’m sure it will have the feel and playability I’d expect from a top-of-the-range PRS. It also has the ‘old-school’ PRS bird inlays, which we all know and love (or hate).

On the hardware side we have a two-piece PRS bridge and a tweaked PRS Phase III tuners to keep it all ship shape and in tune. I’d imagine that Paul Reed Smith will have put a lot of thought into this guitar design and hardware choices, so expect a great instrument.
