The PRS S2 McCarty 594 Thinline puts a leaner, more streamlined spin on the celebrated McCarty formula, pairing the model’s versatile, vintage-inspired voice with a thinner all-mahogany body, Pattern Thin neck and slightly shorter 24.594" scale for an exceptionally comfortable playing experience. A solid mahogany body and set mahogany neck provide a warm, resonant foundation with plenty of sustain, while the bound rosewood fingerboard brings a refined feel to the 22-fret design. Dual American-made 58/15 LT humbuckers balance vintage-inspired sweetness with clarity and definition, with independent push/pull tone controls unlocking nuanced single-coil sounds alongside full humbucking tones. A PRS two-piece bridge and Phase III tuners provide a solid foundation for accurate intonation and dependable tuning performance. Built in Stevensville, Maryland, the S2 McCarty 594 Thinline combines the tonal versatility and refinement of the McCarty family with a distinctly comfortable, streamlined feel.
Thin Mahogany Body Delivers Classic Warmth With a Leaner Feel
The S2 McCarty 594 Thinline pares down the familiar McCarty body with a thinner all-mahogany design that sits comfortably against the player without sacrificing the solidbody construction at the heart of its powerful voice. Mahogany provides a warm, full-bodied foundation with rich mids, while the set mahogany neck creates a strong connection that supports resonance and sustain throughout the instrument. An asymmetric bevel further contours the body for a natural fit whether sitting or standing. Finished in high-gloss nitro, the Thinline combines its leaner proportions with the clean, understated appearance of an all-mahogany PRS.
Pattern Thin Neck and Shorter Scale Enhance Playing Comfort
A Pattern Thin mahogany neck reinforces the S2 McCarty 594 Thinline’s streamlined feel, offering a sleek profile that moves easily beneath the fretting hand. The 24.594" scale is slightly shorter than the 25" scale found on standard McCarty models, providing a more relaxed feel under the strings for comfortable bends, chord work and expressive lead playing. Its 10"-radius rosewood fingerboard carries 22 frets and is framed by faux bone binding for a refined visual touch, while PRS bird inlays provide the company’s familiar signature. Together, the thin body, Pattern Thin carve and shorter scale give this McCarty 594 a distinctly inviting playing feel from the first fret to the last.
PRS 58/15 LT Pickups Cover Humbucker and Single-Coil Ground
Dual 58/15 LT pickups give the S2 McCarty 594 Thinline a versatile foundation of vintage-inspired humbucking tone, balancing warmth and sweetness with the clarity and definition to keep complex chords and lead lines articulate. Each pickup has its own volume and push/pull tone control, allowing either humbucker to be tapped independently for sweeter, more nuanced single-coil sounds. A three-way toggle provides straightforward pickup selection, while the independent controls make it easy to shape each pickup before moving between them. From full-bodied humbucker tones to lighter, more detailed textures, the layout gives the Thinline substantial tonal range without sacrificing the familiar control scheme of the McCarty family.
Two-Piece Bridge Provides a Solid, Dependable Foundation
The PRS two-piece bridge anchors the S2 McCarty 594 Thinline with zinc construction, brass saddles and steel studs engineered for accurate intonation and dependable performance across the fingerboard. A bone nut provides a precise contact point at the other end of the strings, while PRS Phase III non-locking tuners with wing buttons offer smooth, reliable adjustment at the headstock. Unplated brass tuner shafts continue the carefully considered hardware package, with nickel hardware maintaining the guitar’s understated presentation. An included premium gig bag provides practical protection for rehearsals, sessions and regular gigging.
Iconic McCarty Performance in a Streamlined American-Made Design
The PRS S2 McCarty 594 Thinline distills the versatility of the McCarty family into a leaner instrument designed for effortless everyday playing. Its thinner mahogany body, Pattern Thin neck and 24.594" scale create a comfortable, responsive feel, while independently tapped 58/15 LT pickups provide the range to move naturally between full humbucking tones and nuanced single-coil textures. Made in Maryland with the dependable two-piece bridge and Phase III hardware central to its performance, the S2 McCarty 594 Thinline offers a distinctive balance of vintage-inspired tone, modern playability and road-ready versatility.
