World-class Private Stock 594 Semi-Hollow
PRS’s elite luthiers applied their world-class guitar-crafting expertise to this Private Stock McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow, and it shows in every inch of its masterful construction. It starts with the tonewoods. For decades, Paul Reed Smith has hoarded the very best woods for his Private Stock instruments, stashing them away in The Vault, PRS’s repository of premium tonewoods. Open the case, and you’re treated to a mouth-watering symphony of superb Private Stock tonewoods. Feast your eyes on the gloriously figured curly maple top, graced with a single F-hole, over a warmly resonant black limba body with a feedback-fighting, sustain-enhancing center block. The ziricote neck and fingerboard bound with curly maple beckon, enticing you with the promise of sumptuous playability that awaits. For maximum tonal prowess, the Private Stock McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow is spec’d with a high-end electronics package featuring two exceptional PRS 58/15 LT humbucking pickups with coil splitting. This boutique-class, heirloom-grade electric guitar is one of a kind and won’t be around for long. Better grab it while you can!

Built to perform
With the relaxed hand feel afforded by the Private Stock McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow’s slightly shorter scale length, you’ll find navigating the ziricote Pattern Vintage neck extremely comfortable and fast as your fingers dance on its smooth-as-glass, buffed-to-perfection ziricote fingerboard, bound in curly maple and adorned with elegant abalone PRS Birds inlays with white MOP outlines. To nail the perfect tone for any live gig or studio session, this impeccable guitar is equipped with a dynamic duo of impressive PRS 58/15 LT humbucking pickups.
Drink in this guitar’s smooth, clear vintage voice
When you plug this guitar into your favorite amp, you will be enveloped in a rich and decidedly vintage tone. This is the warm and clear sonic elixir that propelled the original 58/15 pickups to the top of many guitarists’ favorite PAF-style humbucker lists. 58/15 LT pickups are based on that successful design, but they’re wound with fewer wire turns for even more clarity and nuance. The 594’s electronics setup features the traditional 4-pot configuration, which gives you independent control of each pickup’s volume and tone. Pulling up on each tone knob engages single-coil operation for that pickup, which means this axe can serve up any electric guitar tone you could ever need. From rock to country, jazz to fusion; from chimey rhythm parts to blistering leads — and everything in between — the PRS Private Stock McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow delivers.
The finest tonewoods on the planet
The PRS Vault contains some of the finest tonewoods on the planet. Gorgeous wood sets for tops and backs. Toneful neck blanks. Exotic fingerboards. When you craft a guitar with materials of this caliber, you get an extraordinary instrument. Precisely why Sweetwater’s guitar experts visit The Vault. Here, they can smell the wood, feel it, wet it to reveal the grain, and knock on it to hear its distinctive tone. This gives them a keen sense of the unique instrument we will finally present to you. This Private Stock McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow is a breathtaking guitar with jaw-dropping visuals, off-the-charts playability, and eat-it-with-a-spoon tone.
Pattern Vintage profile neck for enhanced playability
Some of the Private Stock McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow’s least visible but most powerful features include a neck feel that maximizes your performance and comfort with an asymmetrical Pattern Vintage profile. Though much like their Pattern profile, PRS’s Pattern Vintage carve is slightly thicker to fill your hand in just the right way. For enhanced playability, this guitar’s fingerboard features curly maple binding with comfortably rolled edges. And the strings will always feel silky under your fingers when playing and bending due to the 10-inch radius and 24.594-inch scale length — which is also where this McCarty model gets its name.
Nitro finish for the look and feel of a classic
A luscious nitrocellulose lacquer finish protects this Private Stock instrument. Nitro finishes — standard back in the day — are significantly thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar’s tonewoods to “breathe” and resonate naturally. Nitro finishes not only look incredible; they also enhance the instrument’s tonal qualities. This guitar has the look and feel of a lovingly cared-for classic — one that will only improve with age.
