World-class Private Stock 594 Semi

PRS’s elite luthiers applied their world-class guitar-crafting expertise to the Private Stock #8632 McCarty 594 Semi-hollow, and it shows in every inch of its masterful construction. It starts with the tonewoods. For over a decade, 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, including a gloriously figured curly maple top over a resonant swamp ash body with a feedback-fighting, sustain-enhancing center block.

Built to perform

With the relaxed handfeel afforded by the Private Stock #8632 McCarty 594 Semi-hollow’s slightly shorter scale length, you’ll find navigating the roasted curly maple Pattern Vintage profile neck extremely comfortable and fast, as your fingers dance on its smooth-as-glass roasted curly maple fingerboard adorned with elegant Sweetwater-signature Owls in Flight inlays. To nail the perfect tone for any live gig or studio session, this impeccable guitar is equipped with a dynamic duo of amazing PRS 58/15 humbucking pickups.

Drink in this guitar’s smooth, clear vintage voice

When you plug #8632 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 jazz to rock to fusion; from chimey rhythm parts to blistering leads — and everything in between — the PRS Private Stock #8632 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 least visible but most powerful features of the #8632 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 African blackwood 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" radius and 24.594" scale length — which is also where this McCarty model gets its name.

Nitro finish, for the look and feel of a classic

This Private Stock instrument is protected by a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes — standard back in the day — are significantly thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar’s tonewoods to "breathe." 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.
