📚 Description: Today we check out the 2021 PRS McCarty Hollowbody II that I purchased from Sweetwater. The McCarty model was named after the President of Gibson that resided over the "golden era" of Gibson. Paul reached out to Ted in the 80s and the rest is history. How do I like this "gibsonized" prs? Let's find out!

Pre cool

[@natashanyxx9486]

Polite Correction: The quality of their tops starts at Core, then up to a 10 Top, then Artist Package, and the Private Stock is at the top tier, in that order. Wood Library tops are chosen by select dealers, and can vary.

[@nalukeko]

I always appreciate separate volume and tone, BUT I CANNOT STAND the toggle switch on the horn of a double-cut. On very select occasions you see some 594 double-cuts with the toggle down by the knobs like an LP Special DC (my favorite layout btw)

[@hkguitar1984]

Gregory T Rupp I think his dislike of the wood binding is more specific to this instrument and its color choices/combination of the top and sides. Myself, I love both versions of binding. My wife was also watching this video and immediately agreed about the color choices vibe when the image of Ronald McDonald flashed on the screen!

[@seanbrooks2583]

fit and finish seems amazing.

[@MatthewFant]

Prs is, what Gibson should be. Amazing guitars, visually striking, plays like a dream. While we all appreciate the old les Paul’s we need to see a lot more of these on the channel. I won’t lie, I’ve watched most of this twice.

[@Duncanlinc]

The switch is loud. It's almost like it's on a hollow top or something.

[@JptDesignStudio]

[@reggieboyd5444]

Same thing with the vol/tone controls. Just proving that this hollow body will be very resonant (for better or worse). Beautiful guitar!!!

[@chrisggoodwin777]

I'm by no means a PRS expert, but I do know numbers always have meaning. As you posted, 594 is for the 24.594" scale length. 58/15 pickups are PRS' versions of a '58 humbucker, designed in 2015. I love listening to Paul give interviews, even if he does have a few "squirrel" moments 😉

[@Wade6242]

I've owned the PRS solid, single cut 594 since 2017 and must say it's incredible. The neck is asymmetrical carve. Pickups are designed after a 58 LP with low turn windings. String changes are incredibly fast and this machine stays in tune forever.

[@Jiggyfly813]

FINALLY!!! It’s about time!!! I’m a nobody guitar player, but I left Gibson guitars almost 20yrs ago! Because of all the les Paul’s I owned and played shocking but I never played a good one. I always felt like somethings missing. I played a prs custom 22 and have never looked back! Clarity, sustain, crunch, feel, rings like a bell! I’m writing this with a 2005 prs 20th anniversary in my lap! Nothing compares!

I have a McCarty 594 solid body, artist package copperhead, and it’s certainly my favorite guitar today. I also have a PRS Custom 24 (the standard prs) and a Gibson Les Paul Custom, which was always my dream guitar, and the 594 is a magnificent blend of these two guitars. Simply the best of two worlds!

PRS and Ibanez are the top manufacturers when it comes to micro innovations and build quality imo. They never ceases to amaze me!

The only downside is that they don't make cool pointy metal guitars like Jackson and BC Rich to bad a lot of pointy guitars are crappy quality wise especially kiesel with them necks that are claiming to be roasted maple but are not dark enough to be roasted.

Which is perfect if you want to end NOT playing your guitar you left one year of a working man's salary in... Then, as about anything trying to do both the job of a Strat and the job of a LesPaul, it ends failing in both roles... Soundwise speaking, I don't remember having reacted with a "WOW!" while even with Fender or Gibson, it sometimes happened to me, and I'm far from being a fan of these companies : I mainly use luthiers' guitars.

[@enjoiandrew69]

[@michaelschiessl8357]

That Paul is an innovator and a genius coming up with these modifications here and there. You don't see them but man it makes a difference.

[@RoamingIRaccoon]

I could listen to him talk about guitars for hours. His passion is infectious.

[@jwv6985]

PRS guitars are in a different league than Les Paul's or Strats. Just my humble opinion 😏

[@harounel-poussah6936]

Nope : same stuff : over-expensive for what they are and overrated. I wouldn't barter any of my 80's/90's Vigier's (2 1984 Arpège-I, one 1987 Arpège-II, two 1991-1993 Passion III-90/10; two 1993 Excalibur) as well as Leduc's (one Masterpiece custom, one U-guitar, two Aliens, one U-bass-5/FL, one Pad-5), Xavier Petit's (one 'San Dimas' and one 'PRS', both made of 100+ years old Honduras mahogany) or Patrice Blanc's (one Stoker) for any PRS, Fender or Gibson. The only PRS I own is a PRS SE Single Cut Korina because I wanted to give a try to the Limba wood and, hadn't Epiphone been using the 24.75" scale which is too short for me, I'd probably have chosen an Explore RI-57. The PRS-SE SCK went for €250 on the 2nd hand market, OK, for €250, PRS are good guitars if you change the PUs, and actually a good investment since... a SCK now sales for €1000 on the 2nd hand market!!! I must say that Korean company WMIC did really great job : frankly, it's hard to believe, looking at how the SCK is crafted, that these were sold for only €499 as new!

[@lespaul6550]

Exactly! Their attention to detail and superb craftsmanship puts the big guys to shame. That's what you get when you have the same guitar nerd guiding the company all these years. However much I like my Les Paul, Gibson has been, for a long while, a company. And "managers" are always looking at ways of increasing their end-of-year bonuses, which usually means screwing customers.

[@harounel-poussah6936]

@@lespaul6550 : I'm not impressed by the craftmanship, BTW, Paul didn't even bookmatched tables on the 28x $28,000 guitars he allegedly made by himself a few years ago... Just the fact there are NO neck-hru construction makes PRS just another mid-end builder, no matter the bling bling finishes, PRS is no match for Leduc, Sebaston, Belliot, ESP, even ESP's sub-brand Ltd manages to make neckthru building.... Sorry, both Gibson and PRS are irrelevant.

[@alejandrotarazona5359]

That guitar is a piece of art.

[@tonyh9970]

Paul said that they couldn't steam bend the wood for the archtop out of fear it would crack. They chose to cut it down from a 1 in thick piece of wood to make it stronger. It's those little details that really make prs stand out from the competition. Not to mention the sound and playability. In my humble opinion, they're as close to perfect as a guitar can be.

[@_dmfd]

It's so awesome to see these guitars thru the endoscope! I literally commented on every semi/hollow body guitar video that Austin posted for like a year straight suggesting that he get one so we could see the routes and insides of these guitars haha I doubt he did it bc of my suggestion but still it adds something unique to his reviews and it is just so cool to see from the inside like this! Thanks man!

[@antoniocorsere5675]

If I recall correctly. The 594 stands for a scale length. It's 24.594 instead of 24.5

[@peik5569]

[@hkguitar1984]

While I generally agree with your comment and all of the replies I've got to compare a Sweetwater Sales Engineer to some of the Applications Engineers I've worked with in the past. The term "Sales Engineer" would imply I could call him and request "I need everything for a home recording studio, can you set me up?"

The main difference between a 594 and a custom 22 or other PRS is that where the "594" comes from is the model utilizes a 24.594" scale length, the same vintage scale length used on the original bursts, at least according to Paul. All the other PRS models have their standard 25" scale length.

One of the main differences between a Custom 24 or similar PRS and the 594s is scale length. The scale length on most PRS models is 25", but the 594s are 24.594" (hence "594"). Also, while that tailpiece is really cool (the quick change bit), Ibanez came out with a similar design back in the 70s.

its better to just get a double cut from PRS since their single cuts are ugly doesn't really define PRS.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

gorgeous guitar!

[@DavidRuiz-fv9ek]

Ray, highly recommend a PRS CE-24...give it a shot, you won't be disappointed, oh and I subscribed to your channel today. Keep up the great work!!

[@greghilinski6571]

three things to note. When you split the coils, there is almost no drop in volume. The top is thicker so you get much lower distortion than a typical hollow body. Also, the feel of the neck is amazing, really rolled over and comfortable.

[@corywekerle6862]

Awesome video. Quick notes: This is a core model as opposed to the S2 which has different pups and a few other features. Also Paul started his company in the 70's, In 85' is when he went into a production style company instead of just a custom builder.

[@Riverdeepnwide]

Yup. The identificater can be found directly underneath the truss rod coverupper, just right next to those six knobulators.

[@joelsk7149]

Wowzers, that demo sounded awesome, you did it some tonal justice! Also please review the Joe Strummer Campfire if you get the chance :D

[@NINEWALKING]

As you could have noticed it is not splitting the humbucker. Neck humbucker was 7ish KOhm and activation of the switch would result in over 4KOhm. So not a split but coil tap. Plus they include resistors to balance pot in coil tap mode. They have made it so that pickup keeps some volume when in the coil tap mode. Pretty good solution. I do not feel a need to use coil split on my 594 while even clean pickups are sounding very nice. And those pickups are LT variations meaning not normal 58/15 but vintage low turn versions that are very PAF inspired.

[@WattchomanBrandySavage]

Awesome to see you review a PRS guitar.

[@SwirkH]

Is the glue we can see inside a tone glue, or normal glue ?

[@woperholic]

Beautiful guitar mate. But how does it stack up next to a Glarry?

[@lvrxplt397]

I have an older version of this very same guitar! My pickup selector switch is by the volume tone knobs though!

[@Voltanaut]

That sustain blew my mind.

[@michelemanfredi5866]

Looks and sound amazing.

[@usurper001]

Great guitar. Great episode. I like the PRS take on the 70’s/80’s Ibanez quick change bridge

[@cypresscollectiblesinc.2098]

Damn it, it just sounds incredible. I'm not a PRS fan, but they are definitely doing something right.

[@williamsaling9648]

bought a prs 25th anniv swamp ash special and it instantly became my fav guitar. after seeing that sustain, im getting a hollowbody next.

[@Emt5691]

I’m happy to see some PRS guitars on here

[@tmeyer2022]

I had been wanting to try/buy a PRS SE Hollowbody II which has he same neck and pick-ups but am reconsidering now that I see your demo. The SE Hollowbody II has a 5 ply laminate top rather than the carved top. I still want the SE Hollowbody II but will now go to a brick & mortar store to actually try one.

[@e1jerry]

Love the look. I’ll have to find one in person to try.

[@pmoney3688]

Wow! Even if that thing looks and plays like crap, which I’m sure it does not, it is a true work of art! Just looking at the craftsmanship that went into the body!Very beautiful! Very impressive!

[@bills48321]

I have a McCarty from 2003 and I am very happy with it. It is slightly different from that one in some minor details. The workmanship is excellent and it plays well.

[@RumpelStiltskindarkone]

I'm actually like in love with the knobs those are the most beautiful knobs I've ever seen not only on a guitar but quite literally anything that exists. I once saw a movie where a guy falls in love with his phone Siri thingy and I though that was pretty down bad and just hella sad until my eyes landed on those knobs now I understand how someone can fall in love with an inanimate object, wanna marry it, cherish it, adopt kids with it and raise them together.

[@jimir68]

Beautiful guitar not too keen on the position of toggle switch. Love the channel.

[@christopherguzzi1316]

Cool, I learned a new word today, "identificator" at 11:25 into the video. 😉 But in all seriousness, I love these video's (I think I've watched every one and look forward to the latest one each day). Would love to see more PRS and other brands besides Gibson.

[@Rideskishore]

Crazy sustain!

[@anthonylardo6969]

10 Top isn't the highest, you can then go to an Artist Package that has an ever better top, then Private stock which is better yet again.

[@RumpelStiltskindarkone]

wood doesn't just get infinitely better my guy

[@anthonylardo6969]

@@RumpelStiltskindarkone PRS grade tops based on figure. They're subjectively "better", my guy.
