The PRS S2 McCarty 594 in McCarty Tobacco Sunburst is a beautifully crafted instrument that combines vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern versatility and precision. Designed to honour the legacy of Ted McCarty, a pioneer in electric guitar innovation, this model features impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail, making it a versatile choice for a variety of musical styles.
The guitar’s mahogany body, capped with a maple top, is finished in the warm and classic McCarty Tobacco Sunburst. This finish enhances the natural wood grain and gives the guitar a timeless appearance. The set mahogany neck, carved to a Pattern Vintage profile, offers a comfortable playing experience, while the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard features PRS’s signature bird inlays for an unmistakable look.
Equipped with a pair of 58/15 LT (Low Turn) pickups, the S2 McCarty 594 delivers vintage-inspired tones with a modern edge. These pickups offer exceptional clarity, warmth, and dynamic range, perfect for everything from smooth cleans to rich overdriven tones. The coil-splitting functionality, accessed via push/pull tone controls, further expands the tonal palette, allowing players to easily switch between humbucking and single-coil sounds.
Additional features include a PRS two-piece stoptail bridge for excellent sustain and tuning stability, vintage-style tuners, and a high-quality control layout designed for intuitive use. The S2 McCarty 594 is not only a tribute to PRS's rich history but also a versatile, high-performance instrument that meets the needs of modern players while retaining its vintage soul.
