d music Hello friends and welcome back and I tell you what no matter what 2020 throws at us I know I can count on PRS to bring a smile to my face on almost a daily basis it seems like this is the S2 McCarty 594 I never dreamt that this guitar was going to end up in the S2 line and it's really impressive what they kept on this guitar. Mahogany body very nice figured maple top on this guitar. Mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard 22 frets on a 24.594 inch scale just like it is on the core model and one thing that I was so happy to see on this it has the pattern vintage neck carve on this which is just it's one of my favorite PRS cars I generally like a thinner neck on the guitars that I play and this one is the thickest neck of all the PRS models but the asymmetric carve on it means that up on the top end it's got a little less meat on the base side toward the nut and then that shifts to where you've got a little bit less meat on the treble side down at the high end and it really just lends itself to giving your hand just a comfortable position for you know whether it's first position chords or if you're going up high on the neck it's it feels just like a custom fit to your hand it's just an excellent carve I love this we do have the PRS two piece bridge and stop tail on here just like in the core model we have the PRS vintage tuners up on top like the core model what we have that is a bit different though is instead of the 58 15 low turns we've got the 58 15 s pickups in here and I got to tell you I've never heard the 58 15 s's sound any better than they do in this guitar this the ability to get different tones from a picking style I mean it's it's like a your pick becomes a tone control just extremely responsive and truthfully I like the ability to with this 594 feel to be able to drive an amp a little bit harder I'm going to go through it in a cleaner channel here so we can actually hear what these tones are because they're gorgeous tones we do have independent coil splitting on the bridge and the neck pickups here through the tone controls but let's take a listen through to all the tones here this is the bridge in humbucker and both humbuckers together and the neck pickup by itself just very nice rich sounds and you would expect it out of this I mean this is if if you don't know the story behind the McCarty line this was Paul's tribute to his friendship and mentorship via Ted McCarty back when he was just getting his you know guitars out of a one-man shop into a production setting and he wanted to design a guitar that you know vintage sounds vintage specs and you know named it after Ted 594 is a little bit different than the original McCarty and that they move the three-way toggle switch up here to the upper horn but let's continue on let's take a listen to the single coil sounds that we have here here is the bridge pickup single coil just very nice not thin sounding at all for a coil split here is I'm going to go up to the neck pickup first and now we have both pickups coil split and let's look at the different configurations we have this is one reason I really like the independent coil splitting this is going to be the bridge split with the neck and humbucker and now bridge and humbucker with the neck pickup split that is a great sound there I really like that just an excellent addition PRS just keep these coming everything you want to be mixtًa If you've got any questions about this, Paul Reed Smith, S2 McCarty 594, or any other guitar, give the guys at morgatars.com a call.
