2001 PRS – McCarty Hollowbody I – Ruby Red – ID 5985

The McCarty Hollowbody I is one of the most elegant and sonically versatile guitars that PRS has ever built. With its fully hollow body, it combines the warmth and openness of a classic archtop with the precision and playability for which PRS is known worldwide.
Weighing just 2,326 grams, it is exceptionally light and has an impressively resonant sound even when played unamplified. The archtop humbuckers deliver an open, three-dimensional tone with plenty of dynamics and are equally suited for jazz, blues, fusion, or finely defined clean and crunch sounds.
The deep red ruby finish accentuates the elegant appearance of this early McCarty hollow-body guitar. The finish shows the milky patina typical of PRS guitars from that era in some places, and the pickup caps are slightly tarnished—these are purely cosmetic signs of aging that underscore the instrument's authentic vintage character.
An early US PRS from the highly sought-after McCarty series—exceptionally lightweight and rich in tone.
