Player's Perspective The S2 McCarty 594 Thinline is arguably our current favorite PRS S2 model here at the shop, and this one in a classic Tobacco Sunburst finish is no exception. Similar to the Vela, it's unique in that there's no real Core equivalent - it may be based on the McCarty 594 platform, but the changes PRS has made to the design make it a unique beast all its own. For starters, the toggle switch was moved from the upper horn to next to the volume and tone knobs, a change that makes pickup switching a lot more intuitive if you are more familiar with a "Custom"-style PRS or an S/T-style guitar. However, the biggest change you'll notice both upon immediately seeing and playing this model is the thin body - instead of a thick mahogany body and maple top, PRS streamlined the design to a much thinner piece of mahogany to improve ergonomics and make the guitar extremely light - most of these clock in around the 6-7lb mark, which is phenomenally light for a McCarty, while still being a very balanced instrument. These two changes make this guitar a pretty close equivalent and competitor to a certain iconic double-cutaway, "horned" guitar played by the likes of AC/DC and Black Sabbath. Lastly, PRS chose the Pattern Thin neck profile for this model, which you may be familiar with from the "Custom"-line guitars, such as the Custom 24. The USA-made 58/15 LT pickups (new to the S2 line!) are sort of like PRS's take on a PAF pickup, but with a bit more oomph and top-end clarity to it. We love the extra brightness and presence that these have and it really goes well with the tonewoods for this guitar. There's a perfect amount of brightness to cut through any mix, mid-range presence to retain articulation and definition, and tight bass response to give your guitar's voice fullness and some warmth. Manufacturer's Description The S2 McCarty 594 Thinline is an all-mahogany, thin-body guitar with a powerful voice. Whether you are looking for authentic humbucking tones or nuanced, sweet single-coil sounds, the S2 McCarty 594 Thinline can seamlessly master both sonic territories thanks to its Maryland, USA-made 58/15 LT pickups and dual volume and push/pull tone controls. The S2 McCarty 594 Thinline is addictive to play, thanks in part to its all-mahogany body, versatile control layout, and bound 22-fret Pattern Thin neck. The distinctive, powerful voice is backed by modern construction, so it plays in tune, stays in tune, and is intonated the entire length of the neck. A zinc two-piece bridge and vintage-style tuners anchor this guitar and stay true to the promise of the McCarty family. Designed to capture the heart of the McCarty family of instruments and stay true to the S2 Series spirit, the S2 McCarty 594 Thinline stands on its own as a gig-ready workhorse for the player who wants to cover a lot of musical ground. After ten years, the PRS S2 Series is being updated with USA-made pickup and electronics for 2024 (and beyond). We are proud to bring this added value to what has become a fully integrated part of our manufacturing line and product offering. We have also updated our Vintage-Style tuners to include a new “Wing” button. While, aesthetically, these new buttons are designed to echo the 12th fret bird wingspan design, they were first and foremost designed for tonal reasons. Because these buttons are lighter weight than their metal predecessors, they are subtracting less energy from the vibrating strings, thus helping the guitar ring longer and at a more musical note. The removal of the tuner’s locking feature on non-tremolo-equipped guitars further decreases their weight. PRS Two-Piece Bridge Made of zinc and brass, this bridge has four contact points and added mass, enhancing the natural tone of the guitar and helping to create a more resonant instrument. PRS Vintage-Style Non-Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons Traditional closed-back tuners engineered to promote resonance. PRS 58/15 LT Pickups “Low turn” pickups with vintage warm, clear tone.
