NAMM 2019: PRS Announces New McCarty 594 Hollowbody II Guitar
PRS' latest creation fuses the Hollowbody II and McCarty 594 designs into a single instrument.
PRS has announced its new McCarty 594 Hollowbody II electric guitar at the NAMM show. Quite simply, the guitar is what you'd expect: a merger of the company's McCarty 594 and Hollowbody II models.
The guitar's hollow build is paired with the Hollowbody II's 58/15 LT (low turn) pickups and the McCarty 594’s 24.594” scale length, two-piece bridge, tweaked Phase III tuners, Pattern Vintage neck shape and control layout.
The guitar also features a figured maple top and back with mahogany middle, and a 22-fret mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard and "old-school" bird inlays.
The PRS McCarty 594 Hollowbody II will be available soon for a price that's rumored to be in the $4,000-$5,000 range.
