PRS is a new-generation standard guitar brand, rivaling Fender and Gibson.
The beautiful guitars they produce are renowned as favorites of top musicians around the world, including Carlos Santana, John Mayer, Orianthi Panagaris, DAITA, and PABLO.
This model is from the S2 series, a mid-tier model introduced in 2013.
It is made in the USA using the same woods as the Core and bolt-on models.
By adopting a top with a more subtle grain than the Core and adopting a scarf-joint neck, we have succeeded in keeping costs down while maintaining the high quality you expect from an American-made guitar.
In addition, in 2024, the S2 series will come standard with American-made pickups and electronics, just like the Core, bringing the specs closer to those of the Core series.
Although it is positioned as a mid-tier model within PRS, it is a high-quality model with sound and playability comparable to that of higher-end models.
This model, the McCarty 594, is a collaboration between PRS and Ted McCarty, the creator of the Gibson Les Paul, bringing the McCarty even closer to vintage guitars.
The McCarty 594 features a 24.594-inch scale, the same exacting dimensions as the 1950s Les Paul, and its controls and hardware pay homage to the Les Paul, making it a hugely popular PRS model.
The body back is mahogany and the top is maple.
The body top has an asymmetrical beveled top.
It has an appealing look that is a little different from the standard violin carve.
The finish is traditional lacquer.
The extremely thin finish meets PRS's strict specifications.
The neck is made of mahogany and the fingerboard is made of rosewood, a classic combination.
The neck shape is also distinctive, featuring PRS's "Pattern Vintage" neck shape, which meticulously recreates the neck shape of a 1953 Les Paul.
This is the thickest neck shape among PRS guitars, but the 6th-string and 1st-string sides are asymmetrical, combining a vintage feel with excellent playability.
The guitar is equipped with two '58/15 LT pickups.
Crafted with the aim of achieving the humbucking sound of the late '50s, it produces a clear, warm sound.
The pickups are coil-tappable and can also be operated as single coils.
The diverse range of tones is appealing.
The tuning machines are vintage-style, and the tuning pegs feature the latest wing buttons.
This has successfully reduced the headstock weight and is expected to provide improved sustain compared to previous models.
This guitar truly represents the pinnacle of PRS, combining excellent playability and a vintage sound.
This guitar boasts top-class quality in this price range and specs that come closest to PRS's higher-end models.
