PRS MCCARTY 594 HOLLOWBODY II

The McCarty 594 Hollowbody II brings a new set of features to one of our most beloved models: the Hollowbody II. With fully-hollow construction, the Hollowbody II is a resonant guitar with warm, woody tone. The details carried over from the McCarty 594 model impart vintage character to this already classic instrument. 58/15 LT pickups, which have now been through the TCI (tuned capacitance and inductance) process, ensure that these guitars are clear and musical while dual volume and push/pull tone controls offer plenty of versatility. The zinc two-piece bridge and vintage-style tuners anchor this guitar and stay true to the promise of the McCarty family.

I just bought both a Core Semi-Hollow "Special" and a Private Stock 594 Hollow I, with Brazilian fretboard .. and OMH am I in love with both of these beauties. I can't put them down.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Nice!!

[@user-hi3fc9ks5t]

So happy for you, hoping to get the Mccarty hollow ii, 10 top, your private stock must be stunning.

I love my 594 Hollowbody II -such great quality, superb playability and beautiful tones from a stunning looking instrument... Its considered a 'Hollowbody' (not a Semi-hollow as you keep calling it) as it only has a block under the bridge. Its made from 'Solid' woods - inc the Mahogany sides as they cut the middle out of a slab of Mahogany to leave just the sides. The top and back are 'solid' Maple but carved -not Laminates and pressed to create the 'archtop' like a 335. The Clue is in the name!!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thanks for pointing all that out!! ✌️❤️

This is the kind of music this guitar is made for. I picked one up a few years ago and I cannot believe the amount of different tones this guitar can make. For those of you that want one guitar that can do it all, it’s this one. It even sounds great acoustically. Coil taps and low medium output pickups allow you to really customize your sound.

Hi, I might be wrong but I believe that the model in the video is a Hollowbody 2, not the semi hollow, as the semi hollow has only one f hole.by the way, wonderful guitar and exquisite playing!

[@tonyvector5022]

Beautiful guitar - No doubt about it! I personally lean towards the Gibson ES 335 and similar sized semi acoustic style guitars. I suspect the additional body real estate makes a difference to some degree in tone, but I could be wrong lol. Great intro as always, Jon - A real pleasure to listen too.

[@musicspeaks1074]

I have both Gibson 335 and 594 hollow,Both sounds Wonderful.PRS stayed in tune 😊 Jon always pleasure listening to you 🙌🏻

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you guys.. much obliged✌️❤️

[@dsteele5530]

I had both as well. Sold the Gibson bought an Eastman 486. It out Gibson Gibson by a mile. Still the 594 is beyond better than both

[@OccamsEraserhead]

I got one 4 years ago and sold or gave away all my other guitars. It does everything. Mine is the black gold wrap burst and it's always looked and felt like a fuckin Stradivarius. It's the sort of guitar you never feel quite worthy of. I'm not a 'PRS guy' but this particular model, with the black gold burst and those pickups? That's as good as guitars get, IMHO.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

✌️❤️

[@manuelmaindron92]

This Review is Awesome ! But the price tag is way to high for me! I hope to find a SE version of this PRS Mccarty 594 hallowbody

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Go for it

[@CarlyonProduction]

Totally agree with your perspective on PRS. It was always a company I would never go near as they had all these associations with elitism, snobbery and even ‘nu metal’ lol. The 594 is making it more difficult for me to ignore them. Silver sky too. I think young people growing up now won’t think of PRS in the same way as I did. I still find myself holding back though, thinking ‘I can’t go to the dark side’ But in truth I really want one.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Lol David.. as for me.. I have only a very few models that I really like.✌️❤️

[@dsteele5530]

I used to be the same way. Now I own 9 different models. Half are SE’s and they are better than most of my high priced Gibsons

[@CarlyonProduction]

@@dsteele5530 you know, I ended up thinking I would rather have an SE hollowbody 2 than a Gibson 339. As it happens I’m just saving for a regular 594 first. But yes, I can see it becoming my new guitar. Will almost certainly want one with soap bars next!

Hi Jon it's just amazing watching u play those guitars in any tune. Btw would u mind, what is that backing track u used in the song segment of this review? Tnx

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Its in the description.. forgot the title ✌️❤️

[@diego2246]

Beautiful guitar! Love it!!! Just one detail: it is not a semihollow body, it is built as a thin hollowbody guitar.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Yes Diego.. I was confused with the other SE semi hollow!! My bad😜

[@Erickchicas]

Around the middle of the video you say that the McCarty 594 is your favorite PRS, how does this McCarty Hollowbody II compare do you think it adds or substracts for the 594? I'm debating between the 2 (and also the Special semihollow), I'd love your input.

Well if you need a bit of "Air" in your sound..go for the HB ✌♥

Fantastic playing Jon, just tremendous. even so, I don't think the anti PRS rant was justified. Its very clear that guitars like you are playing take a lot of making, time, effort and cost, It is sad that some musicians cant afford them, but thats life 😞

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you… It might not be justified to you.. but it is what it is.. that’s life

[@puddytat62]

Needless to say Jon does not need a PRS to sound great and musical. Very true that PRS has an elitist bent and of course all Paul Reed Smith guitars are monstrously expensive but I guess just as pricey as all the other USA made guitars like Gibson, Fender and Taylor I guess higher labour costs

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Some times it’s just a matter of “ I’ll charge higher prices.. people will still buy” plain and simple😝

[@deborahmcalister3936]

I am concerned about the tuners... at this price why didn't they put locking tuners on the guitar???

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Beats me ✌️❤️

Hey! Wait a minute. Are you on the PRS payroll? They do make great guitars...for great men like yourself. Cheers, Dear Brother.

I stated in the video!!! No!!! Lol…well at least no one from PRS called yet… hahahaha

PRS calls these "hollowbody" -- is this really a semihollow?

It’s a hollow body with a center block ✌️❤️
