Overview
The PRS USA S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut in Burnt Amber Burst is a masterful blend of classic design and contemporary innovation. Inspired by the original McCarty models, this instrument brings a 24.594" scale length that balances string tension for more comfortable fretting and a slightly warmer tonal character.
Body & Finish
Constructed with a solid mahogany back and a hand-carved maple top, the Singlecut delivers a resonant, well-balanced tone with enhanced midrange presence. The Burnt Amber Burst finish highlights the natural flame of the maple top, giving the guitar an exquisite visual depth.
Neck & Fingerboard
Equipped with a pattern vintage mahogany neck, the guitar offers a comfortable, familiar feel that supports complex chord work and fluid soloing. The rosewood fingerboard features 22 frets with PRS’s signature bird inlays, combining playability with elegant aesthetics.
Electronics & Hardware
At its core are the S2 McCarty humbucking pickups, voiced for warm lows, full mids, and smooth highs. The 5-way rotary pickup selector provides access to a broad palette of tones—from thick, punchy humbucker sounds to bright single-coil textures. PRS Phase II locking tuners and a PRS-designed adjustable stoptail bridge ensure rock-solid tuning stability and precise intonation.
Performance & Versatility
Whether you’re recording in the studio or performing live, the S2 McCarty 594 responds with immediate clarity and dynamic nuance. Its tonal versatility makes it ideal for jazz, blues, rock, and fusion, while the ergonomic body design and contoured heel allow unrestricted upper-fret access.
