Product Description

Vintage Heart, Modern Muscle

Meet the PRS S2 McCarty 594 in a stunning Black Onyx Metallic finish. This isn’t just another guitar; it’s a workhorse that channels the soulful, resonant spirit of vintage classics while delivering the rock-solid reliability PRS is known for. The magic starts with the tonewoods—a classic maple top on a mahogany back, providing the perfect blend of warmth, snap, and endless sustain. From the first chord, you’ll feel that “played-it-forever” connection.

The Voice of a Legend: 58/15 LT “S” Pickups

Here’s the lowdown—the S2 McCarty 594 is loaded with USA-made 58/15 LT “S” pickups. These are “Low Turn” humbuckers, meaning they’re voiced for a warm, clear, vintage-inspired tone that’s incredibly articulate. But the real trick is the versatility. With two volume knobs and push/pull tone controls for coil-splitting, you can instantly shift from thick, creamy humbucker grit to glassy, nuanced single-coil chime. It’s like having two guitars in one.

Effortless Playability: The Pattern Vintage Neck

Wrapping your hand around the Pattern Vintage neck profile just feels *right*. It’s a comfortably chunky shape that gives you something to grab onto for big bends and soulful vibrato, but it never gets in the way of fast runs. Paired with a 10″ radius rosewood fretboard and iconic bird inlays, this neck is built for comfort and speed. The 24.594” scale length—the secret sauce of the 594—gives the strings a buttery, slinky feel that makes playing for hours a pure joy.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

It refers to the guitar’s unique 24.594-inch scale length. It’s slightly shorter than the typical PRS 25″ scale, which gives the strings a lower tension for a slinkier, more vintage feel and makes string bending a breeze.

The 58/15 LT ‘S’ pickups are designed by PRS to capture that same warm, vintage-inspired character of their legendary Core pickups. They’re made in the USA and deliver incredible clarity and versatility, especially with the push/pull coil-split controls, giving you amazing tonal value.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.

This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.

If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.

Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
