The McCarty 594 Hollowbody II represents a masterful fusion of vintage character and modern craftsmanship, bringing fresh features to one of PRS's most cherished designs. This fully‐hollow construction guitar resonates with warm, woody tones that capture the essence of classic hollow‐body instruments. The 58/15 LT pickups have undergone the TCI (tuned capacitance and inductance) process, ensuring crystal‐clear, musical output, while dual volume controls and push/pull tone knobs provide extensive tonal versatility.
From rich, authentic humbucking sounds to nuanced single‐coil sweetness, this instrument covers remarkable sonic ground. The guitar features a bound 22‐fret neck with 24.594" scale length Pattern Vintage profile, complete with rosewood fretboard and PRS trademark bird inlays. A zinc two‐piece bridge and vintage‐style tuners anchor the instrument, staying true to the McCarty family's commitment to quality hardware.
Paul Reed Smith emphasises the importance of these components, noting that "everything that touches the string is God — well, that's really the bridge, the nut, and the tuners." The McCarty lineage traces back to the late 1980s when Paul Reed Smith collaborated with Ted McCarty on guitar design and production techniques. Ted served as both mentor and friend, leading to the 1994 release of the first McCarty guitar, which incorporated the full spectrum of knowledge Paul gained from this partnership alongside his own guitar‐building expertise.
