A symphony of Private Stock tonewoods
Paul Reed Smith's Private Stock Vault contains some of the finest tonewoods on the planet. When Sweetwater’s guitar experts visit the Vault, 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 instruments we finally present to you. The Private Stock #9423 McCarty 594 Hollowbody II features a resonant Madagascar rosewood body with an attention-grabbing bearclaw spruce top and back. Besides its head-turning looks, this tonewood combination delivers a warm, sustaining sound with plenty of clarity and harmonic overtones. This hollowbody electric guitar also includes a comfortable curly maple neck and an easy-playing Madagascar rosewood fingerboard with curly maple purfling and eye-catching Owls in Flight inlays (available only at Sweetwater). An Owls in Flight inlay adorns the Private Stock #9423 McCarty 594 Hollowbody II’s headstock. Madagascar rosewood tuner buttons, natural binding, and a satin nitro finish complete this guitar’s exclusive look.
Delivers a clear, smooth vintage voice
When you plug the Private Stock #9423 McCarty 594 Hollowbody II into your favorite amp, you will be enveloped in a rich and decidedly vintage tone, thanks to its 85/15 bridge humbucker — the warm and clear sonic elixir that propelled PRS 85/15 pickups to the top of many guitarists' favorite PAF-style humbucker lists. In the neck, you'll find a 57/08, which delivers the iconic warmth and responsive tone of 1950s-era guitars. If you want to replicate the best, you should go right to the source. That's just what PRS did when they bought the same coil wire manufacturing machine that '50s-era guitar makers used to create some of the most iconic-sounding pickups in history. Their approach has paid glorious sonic dividends. From rock to jazz to country, from chimey rhythm parts to blistering leads — and everything in between — the #9423 McCarty 594 Hollowbody II delivers.
Pattern Vintage neck profile for fluid playability
Some of the least visible but most powerful features of the 594 Hollowbody II include a neck feel that maximizes performance and comfort with an asymmetrical Pattern Vintage profile — a favorite among legions of guitarists. Though much like their Pattern profile, PRS's Pattern Vintage carve is slightly thicker to fill your hand in just the right way. And the strings will always feel silky smooth when playing and bending due to the guitar's 24.594-inch signature McCarty scale length — the origin of the "594" in the Private Stock #9423 McCarty 594 Hollowbody II's model name.
