Curly Maple and Swamp Ash Offer Striking Looks and Immaculate Tone
The Hollowbody II's voice begins with its exquisite Private Stock tonewoods. A carved East Coast curly maple top and back provide striking visual figure and shimmering treble response, while a swamp ash core lends warmth, resonance and balance. The fully hollow construction, highlighted by natural binding and a flawless high-gloss nitro finish, produces an organic, woody tone with remarkable airiness and sustain. Together, these elements create a tonal foundation that is both articulate and harmonically rich, capable of moving from sparkling cleans to lush chord voicings with effortless depth. The result is a guitar that feels alive in your hands.
Pattern Vintage Curly Maple Neck Provides Elevated Playability
Built for both unmatched elegance and professional-grade performance, the Private Stock McCarty 594 Hollowbody II features a Pattern Vintage neck carved from figured curly maple. Topped with a Brazilian rosewood fretboard bound in curly maple, it offers a luxurious playing experience that's as stable as it is inspiring. With 22 frets, a 24.594" scale length and a 10" radius, this neck balances vintage familiarity with modern precision. White mother-of-pearl bird inlays and a matching old-school eagle headstock inlay complete the look with timeless Private Stock artistry. From intricate chord work to soaring leads, this neck ensures effortless comfort across every register.
PRS 58/15 LT Pickups Deliver Vintage Warmth and Clarity
A pair of PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers are at the core of this instrument's sonic identity, capturing the nuanced, expressive tones that discerning players demand.

Dual volume and push/pull tone controls, paired with a three-way toggle, offer intuitive access to a broad tonal spectrum. Whether chasing warm, vocal-like leads, sparkling cleans or nuanced textures, the 58/15 LTs ensure the Hollowbody II delivers every detail of your playing with musicality and definition.
