Why Choose The PRS S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut?

USA-Made PRS Quality

The PRS S2 range is built in the USA and offers a serious step up for players who want professional PRS craftsmanship, strong reliability and refined playability without moving into Core Series pricing.

Vintage-Inspired Singlecut Feel

The McCarty 594 Singlecut is designed around a classic, familiar feel, with a 24.594" scale length that gives the guitar a slightly warmer and more relaxed playing response than a 25" scale PRS. It feels comfortable for chords, bends, blues phrasing and expressive lead playing.

Mahogany And Maple Construction

The mahogany body gives the guitar warmth and sustain, while the maple top adds brightness, definition and visual depth. It is a classic tonewood combination for players who want thickness, clarity and singing sustain.

Burnt Amber Smokeburst Finish

The Burnt Amber Smokeburst finish gives this guitar a rich, premium look, showing off the singlecut shape beautifully. It has a warm vintage-inspired appearance while still feeling distinctly PRS.

PRS 58/15 “S” Humbuckers

The PRS 58/15 “S” humbuckers deliver a vintage-inspired voice with clarity, warmth and definition. They are well suited to clean tones, edge-of-breakup blues, classic rock crunch and more saturated lead sounds.

Push-Pull Coil Splits

The dual push-pull tone controls give access to split-coil sounds, making this guitar more flexible than a standard two-humbucker singlecut. You can move from full humbucker warmth to brighter, more articulate single-coil-style textures.

Pattern Vintage Neck Profile

The Pattern Vintage neck profile gives the guitar a substantial, comfortable feel that suits players who like a more traditional grip. It supports confident rhythm work, expressive bends and sustained lead playing.

PRS Two-Piece Bridge

The PRS two-piece bridge helps deliver tuning stability, sustain and precise intonation. It is a key part of the McCarty 594 formula and contributes to the guitar’s solid, dependable feel.

The SE McCarty 594 Singlecut is an excellent value model, while the S2 version offers USA manufacture, upgraded build quality and a more refined playing experience. This S2 is the stronger choice for players wanting a serious professional PRS without stepping into Core Series pricing.

PRS S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut vs PRS Core McCarty 594 Singlecut

The Core McCarty 594 Singlecut offers higher-end woods, appointments and Core-level craftsmanship. The S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut delivers much of the same design philosophy, scale length and tonal versatility at a more accessible price point.

PRS S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut vs Gibson Les Paul Standard

A Gibson Les Paul Standard has a more traditional Gibson identity and feel. The PRS S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut offers a similar singlecut warmth and sustain, but with PRS playability, coil-split flexibility and modern build precision.

PRS S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut vs Fender Telecaster Deluxe

A Telecaster Deluxe offers dual-humbucker Fender character with a longer-scale feel. The PRS S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut gives a warmer, shorter-scale style response with set-neck sustain and more vintage-inspired PRS refinement.
