PRS S2 McCarty 594 Single Cut Green Metallic (Custom Color)
We finally got it in: the PRS McCarty 594 Single Cut, but in an S2 version!
We've been looking forward to it for a long time and it's finally here: the PRS S2 McCarty SC (single cut) 594! For lovers of vintage oriented single cut guitars who are looking for a reliable and refurbished alternative under € 2500, this model is a lottery ticket. There are few guitars in this price range that are so balanced and play so incredibly well. Best of all, however, is the sound of the S2 series SC594: thick, full and creamy in the humbucking mode, fresh and modern in the single-coil modes. And then also such a cool custom color, namely the Green Metallic. What a party!
More about the S2 McCarty 594:
2020 is off to a great start with the introduction of the PRS McCarty 594 Single Cut to the S2 line! Just like the Core version, the S2 version is equipped with the Pattern Vintage neck profile and a maple top. Thanks to the slightly thicker body than usual for a PRS, the 594 has an incredible amount of sustain and a super thick tone. The S2 McCarty 594 therefore immediately feels like coming home, as if the guitar has been played in for years. Totally awesome! In terms of hardware, a Two-Piece Bridge has been chosen which is made of zinc, and Vintage Style, non-locking tuners. In this way, the S2 McCarty 594 stays true to its vintage spirit. As with the Core 594, the S2 McCarty 594 features the widely recognized - and acclaimed - 58/15 "S" pickups. In our humble opinion, these pickups are among the very best new pickups on the market today. These humbuckers deliver a warm yet defined, vintage-correct tone reminiscent of the golden era of the PAF pickup.
At the heart of the McCarty 594 is a versatile, vintage-inspired instrument that delivers both fat humbucking sounds and true-to-life single-coil sounds. The 24,594" scale length, which is slightly shorter than usual on LP-inspired guitars, makes the guitar incredibly comfortable to play. The strings almost feel like butter! We've been able to feel and hear on the Core and Private Stock models what great sounds and great playability that delivers, and believe us: that is certainly the case with the new S2 versions.Best of all, PRS packages these features in a modern, reliable package so that you can play wherever, whenever also, you can take the stage with peace of mind without suffering from the annoying issues that some old guitars are known for, as befits Paul Reed Smith!
