Stevensville, MD (June 11, 2018) -- As part of their Experience PRS 2018 announcements, PRS Guitars is introducing three new semi-hollow limited run guitars: the McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow, Singlecut McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow, and Special Semi-Hollow. For each of these models, there is no cap to the number that will be made, but they are available for order through PRS Guitars Authorized Dealers between June 8 – August 31, 2018 only.
“Semi-Hollow guitars offer a beautiful resonance and depth, along with a classic aesthetic thanks to the single f-hole. There is also some weight-relief provided by the semi-hollow body if that is a concern for players,” said Judy Schaefer, PRS Guitars Director of Marketing. “In the end though, we decided to offer these guitars because they are just good, musical instruments with a lot of versatility.”
The McCarty 594 is a vintage-inspired instrument that provides both rich, authentic, vintage humbucking tones and nuanced, sweet singlecoil sounds. The addition of an f-hole and semi-hollow body on this limited edition adds welcome depth and beauty to the guitar. Offered as both double cutaway and single cutaway models, the McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow limited run models are sure to be a welcome edition to the 594 family.
The PRS Special Semi-Hollow Limited Edition guitar is very similar to a Custom 22 in its foundations, but offers players a versatile hum/single/hum configuration with two PRS 85/15 MT (Multi-Tap) humbuckers and a PRS Narrowfield middle pickup. The 85/15 MT’s offer all the tone of the originals while compensating for volume loss when split to single coils. The Narrowfield pickup delivers the bite of a single coil – without the hum but with plenty of clarity and punch. Paired with a 5-Way blade switch and two mini-toggles that tap the humbuckers, this guitar can handle myriad sounds and styles, and the semi-hollow body with single f-hole provides a welcome airiness and depth to the guitar’s tone.
Shipping for both models is expected to complete in early 2019.
