Color/Finish: Charcoal Cherry Burst Year: 2021

This PRS McCarty 594 Hollowbody II is owned by David Grissom. David Grissom has one of the deepest and most collaborative relationships in PRS history, going back to when the company was barely a year old, and this guitar is a direct product of that bond.

A 2021 McCarty 594 Hollowbody II (#21 0316623), custom built for David with a jaw-dropping Charcoal Cherry Burst finish, Brazilian rosewood board, and moon inlays, signed by Paul Reed Smith. At just 6lbs 3oz, this thing floats. The hollowbody resonates like crazy, giving it the natural warmth and openness that David has always gravitated toward in his tone. Both tone knobs are push/pull.
