Player's Perspective

Are you looking for a McCarty 594 with an even smoother and sweeter sound while also providing some weight alleviation so you can play all night long in complete comfort?

Here's an exclusive Music Store Live Wood Library McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow with a gorgeous quilt maple top and our favorite feeling and sounding neck wood combo ever! The all-rosewood neck is simply divine. The feeling of the raw East Indian rosewood on your hand is one of the best feelings you can ask for on a guitar neck. Over time it'll only get better as the oils from your hand naturally hydrate and coat the neck in a way that makes it feel like a pair of well-broken gloves perfectly made just for you. It's as good as it gets for a neck. On top of that we went with Brazilian rosewood for the fretboard. This is the holy grail of all tonewoods for good reason.

After Paul Reed Smith befriended and picked the brain of guitar pioneer Ted McCarty, the first PRS McCarty models came out in 1994. They incorporated many of the subtle but essential build techniques that Ted used to create some of the best electric guitars the world has played. After a brief hiatus from the core PRS lineup, the McCarty is back. It's a straightforward but effective design that embodies that classic mahogany body/dual humbucker sweetness with slinkiness from the shorter scale length. All in a body shape that will be familiar for Les Paul enthusiasts with a bit more of a modern look from the double-cut design. The back is a little thicker for increased tone and sustain, and two of Paul Reed Smith's best new vintage pickups pump out radiant sound in every register.

The new semi-hollow version scoops out some of the mid-range for a sound that can still stand out and cut through in the mix, but will tend to be a bit sweeter and warmer than its fully solid-body counterpart. You'll also notice this is over a pound lighter than other McCarty 594's. The Brazilian rosewood fretboard is a bit brighter (without losing any of its fullness and warmth) compared to most other rosewoods, which is part of what makes it so revered. This goes incredibly well with the semi-hollow design.

This is a player's axe that's built to be played day after day, but it's also an important part of the electric guitar's history.

Special Features

The McCarty 594 is a vintage-inspired instrument that is at once incredibly familiar and effortlessly playable. Whether you are looking for rich, authentic, vintage humbucking tones or nuanced, sweet single-coil sounds, the McCarty 594 can seamlessly master both sonic territories thanks to the 58/15 LT pickups and push/pull coil taps on the tone controls. The addition of an f-hole and semi-hollow body adds a breathy tone and rich resonance to this guitar, providing welcome depth and beauty. 

The electronics layout, a few key specifications, and PRS craftsmanship combine in the McCarty 594 to create an instrument that plays in tune, is intonated the entire length of the neck, and feels like a guitar that you’ve been playing forever. The McCarty 594 and Singlecut McCarty 594 Semi-Hollows made their debut at Experience PRS 2018.
