HELP a prs noob in search of his sound

[MrSuperstar]

Hi guys, I'm looking for a warm sounding, vintage style, rich of bass guitar.
I play mostly blues and rock, occasionally jazz. I mainly play clean with a Timmy pedal which enriches my sound.

I went from SSS Stratocaster (sounds too bright) to Les Paul (too many QC flaws)
I caught my eye on the McCarty 594 and on the McCarty 594 Hollowbody II, but I never had a PRS before so I wanted to ask you which of these two comes close to the LP sound and possibly which of the two in your opinion is more "in my style" than the LP.

Thanks for your help

The Hollowbody, while a fantastic instrument, is a very different beast than a solid body LP. The McCarty 594 or SC 594 for that matter would be far closer in tone, and close in functionality. Best to play them and make your own A B comparison if possible. But setting the LP comparison aside, the HB would fit your tone wish list and could be played on all those genres.

Yeah it sounds like a normal 594 is what you'd be looking for

Get the 594 non-hollowbody singlecut if you're looking for the LP sound. The single cutaway will give you the most bass and lower midrange response.

why not the Hollowbody? shouldn't it be more "bluesy sounding" than the solidbody?

Maybe try a Custom 22 or McCarty.

I think because you asked which is closest to the Les Paul sound - that would definitely be the Singlecut 594. The Hollowbody is great, and bluesy, but not as close to the LP.
