PRS S2 McCarty 594 Thinline Electric Guitar Mahi Blue

I already own a PRS CE24 and an S2 Custom 24. Looking for a third PRS, I stumbled upon a "used" S2 594 in Antique White, in absolute mint condition at my local GC...no fret wear or scratches and it came with the PRS hard case. After setting it up with my favorite 10's, it plays buzz free with quite low action. The pickups are more on the low powered end of the spectrum but have a beautiful tone with great note separation. The guitar is very light and comfortable. The short scale and lower break angle over the bridge make for a pretty slinky feel and easy string bending. This would be a great guitar for women or for anyone with smaller hands. I have multiple Les Pauls, SG's and Strats and have to say this guitar is becoming one of my favorites! On this particular guitar, the push pull tone controls seem to be wired backwards and the humbucker position is with them pulled out. I will need to get it rewired...this is my only issue with it.

Great guitar! The short scale and pattern thin neck play like butter. Super lite!! Would be very good for long gigs. Humbuckers sound great even tapped. Stays in tune well. Mine is very resonant and loud unplugged. Love this guitar. Only knock is I wish there were some different finish and color options.

Quality american made. If you want a thin light guitar with great balance and superb sound, look no further.

Out of the box the setup was high with .010 strings. It played like a log. After adjusting the nut slot depth and putting my favorite string gauges (8,11,14,24,34,44) on it, it is now set up lower than the factory specs and plays like a dream. I put a Hipshot B Bender on it too.

I've been playing guitar for 43 years. This is the best playing best sounding guitar I've ever played. I can't put it down. I'm a lady with small hands this is the most comfortable best feeling neck I've ever played on. My other guitars are all fenders.

This guitar is fantastic! I had always wanted a Gibson Les Paul and I had finally gotten my dream Les Paul back in February. The guitar had a bunch of issues and I sadly returned it. The last guitar I had purchased before was a PRS Baritone and I absolutely LOVED it and knew that I would love another standard guitar from them. So I looked at tons of different potential models and the McCarty thinline was in my price range and what I felt would be the perfect replacement for the Les Paul. Hence the Ted McCarty reference. It's basically what you would expect if you combined a Gibson with a PRS. I especially love how light it is, and how it basically hugs your body rather than the big flat brick body feel from when I had the Les Paul. So moral of the story is if your looking for something that can rock, but are torn between a Gibson or a PRS just go with any of the McCartys. It's the best of both worlds and I love the feel of the thinline. I got the Tobacco Sunburst btw.
