The McCarty 594 Hollowbody II is PRS's fully hollow Hollowbody II fitted with the McCarty 594's neck, bridge and electronics. The body pairs a violin-carved maple top and a maple back with mahogany between them, and the neck is the 22-fret, 24.594" scale Pattern Vintage with a bound rosewood fretboard and bird inlays.
Fully hollow means there's no centre block, so the top and back are left free to resonate, and PRS describes the result as warm and woody. Two McCarty III humbuckers each have their own volume and push/pull tone, giving humbucking and single-coil sounds from one pair of pickups. The PRS Two-Piece bridge, bone nut and Phase III tuners come straight from the 594 solidbody.
This one is for the player who already likes the McCarty 594's neck and controls and wants them in a hollow body. Its closest relative is the PRS Hollowbody II Piezo, which keeps a 25" scale and a Pattern neck and adds an LR Baggs/PRS piezo system. Our pick is Antique White Top & Back (Natural Sides), which leaves the mahogany sides showing between two pale faces.
The Top option covers both faces of this guitar: Standard figured maple, or PRS's 10 Top and Back, a higher grade of figure on the top and the back, which PRS lists with hybrid hardware.
