Build Quality & Design

PRS is known for flawless craftsmanship, and the S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut is no exception.

• Body: Mahogany with a maple top, giving it warmth, sustain, and resonance. The maple cap adds clarity and brightness, balancing out the mahogany’s richness.
• Finish: The Custom Colour Satin Black finish gives the guitar a stealthy, understated look with a smooth, non-glossy feel. 
• Neck: Mahogany with a Pattern Vintage profile, which is slightly thicker but incredibly comfortable—ideal for those who love classic singlecuts.
• Fingerboard: Rosewood with PRS’s signature bird inlays, giving it a luxurious and high-end feel.
• Scale Length: 24.594" (hence the "594" in the name), offering a vintage feel with improved string tension and sustain.
• Frets: 22 frets with a 10” radius, making it comfortable for both chording and lead work.

The guitar is lightweight compared to traditional Les Pauls, making it less fatiguing for long playing sessions.

Pickups & Tone

The S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut features a pair of PRS 58/15 "S" humbuckers, designed to capture vintage PAF-style warmth and clarity.

• Bridge Pickup: Tight, punchy, and articulate with excellent midrange and bite—perfect for rock, blues, and lead work.
• Neck Pickup: Warm and full-bodied with smooth sustain, great for jazz, blues, and creamy solos.
• Coil-Splitting: Each pickup has push/pull coil-splitting on the tone knobs, allowing you to achieve chimey, single-coil-like tones for added versatility.

This guitar excels at everything from warm cleans to crunchy rock tones and searing leads. It can handle jazz, blues, rock, alternative, and even heavier styles with the right amp.

Hardware & Playability

• Bridge: PRS Two-Piece Bridge, designed for maximum resonance and sustain while ensuring solid intonation.
• Tuners: PRS Vintage-Style Locking Tuners, keeping the guitar rock-solid in tuning stability even with frequent bends and dynamic playing.
• Controls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone (with coil-splitting), and a 3-way toggle switch, providing a familiar layout with extra tonal options.

The combination of the Pattern Vintage neck profile, smooth satin finish, and comfortable scale makes it one of the most playable singlecuts available.
