*From the manufacturer’s website below:
The McCarty 594 Hollowbody II adds a new feature set to PRS’s popular series. The fully hollow Hollowbody II delivers a warm, woody tone. Other details are inherited from the McCarty 594, which exudes the vintage feel unique to this series. The 58/15 LT pickups have undergone TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) processing for a clearer, more musical tone, while the dual volume and push-pull tone controls offer versatile sonic options. The zinc alloy two-piece bridge and vintage-style tuners are a defining feature of this model and a hallmark of the McCarty family.

Whether you’re looking for a rich, “true humbucking” tone or a nuanced, sweet single-coil sound, the McCarty 594 Hollowbody II delivers. Other specs include a bound 22-fret, 24.594″ scale Pattern Vintage neck, rosewood fingerboard, and PRS bird inlays.

“Everything that touches the strings is God—the bridge, nut, and tuners. Updating these has significantly improved the tone of the McCarty family. It now has longer sustain and its true character is more apparent.” – Paul Reed Smith

In the late 1980s, Paul Reed Smith asked Ted McCarty to consult on guitar design and manufacturing techniques. McCarty became not only a mentor but also a dear friend to Paul and everyone he met at PRS. In 1994, the first McCarty was released, incorporating the techniques and knowledge he had learned from Ted, as well as Ted’s own experience as a guitar builder.

[Specification]
Unlike the Hollowbody II, this model features a two-piece bridge, a “Pattern Vintage” neck shape similar to the McCarty 594, a coil tap, and a bound fingerboard, giving it a classic look.
The scale length is 24.594 inches, and the strings are set up at .010-.046.

The pickups are vintage-style 58/15 LT pickups that have undergone a TCI (Tuned Capacitance & Inductance) process to enhance clarity and midrange focus.
They offer an incredibly clear tone, rich midrange, and vintage character.

The grain and sound are superb, and, perhaps due to its construction, it’s also incredibly lightweight.
The softness of the sound is exceptional, making this model a popular choice for jazz fusion and other genres that emphasize clean notes.

The 2024 model features updated tuning pegs, featuring wing pegs designed to resemble the Cooper’s Hawk bird inlay at the 12th fret.
These wing pegs are based on a design Paul created in 1982, and are lighter than the older metal pegs, resulting in less decay in the midrange and sustain, longer sustain, and a more musical sound. If you find
