The PRS Private Stock McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow in Natural Smokeburst is a true showpiece — a one-of-one heirloom built from the finest tonewoods in the Private Stock Vault. A stunning Koa top, Black Limba back, Roasted Curly Maple neck, and Ebony board set the stage, with Koa bird inlays and White Mother of Pearl outlines adding that unmistakable Private Stock magic.
The Koa top is the star: deep, dimensional, and wrapped in Curly Maple binding that traces the body, F-hole, fingerboard, and headstock. Under the High Gloss Nitro, it looks alive — while the Satin Nitro neck feels broken-in from day one.
And it’s worth saying clearly: Koa of this caliber is almost gone. Highly figured sets like this are becoming incredibly scarce, and finding pieces with this shimmer and depth is rarer every year. If a premium Koa-topped Private Stock has been on your radar, builds like this simply don’t come around. In terms of materials, aesthetics, and tone, you won’t beat this spec.
Tonally, it’s PRS at its most refined. The semi-hollow construction adds warmth and resonance without losing punch, while the 58/15 LT pickups deliver vintage sweetness, clarity, and bloom. With dual volumes, dual push/pull tones, and a 3-way toggle, it’s endlessly expressive.
This guitar embodies everything the Private Stock program stands for — rare woods, top-tier craftsmanship, and a tone that feels alive in your hands. If you’ve been waiting for a true centerpiece for your collection, something exceptional and irreplaceable, this McCarty 594 Semi-Hollow is it.
