PRS S2 McCarty 594 Thinline LM: technical review

The PRS S2 McCarty 594 Thinline LM is a USA-made electric guitar listed at $2,333, with availability beginning in September 2026. Its specifications describe a mahogany-bodied, set-neck instrument with a rosewood fingerboard, two 58/15 LT humbuckers and a 625 mm scale. The supplied information does not include customer reviews or hands-on test results, so this assessment is limited to the listed design and hardware.

The model name identifies the instrument as a Thinline, but the available data does not give body thickness, weight, or a detailed body outline. There is also no separate top: the body is mahogany, with no additional top wood specified. The finish is Platinum Metallic. These details establish the material and color, but do not support assumptions about weight, resonance, or how the finish looks in person.

Body, neck, and playing dimensions

The mahogany neck is set into the mahogany body rather than attached with bolts. That construction gives the instrument a continuous neck-to-body joint, though the specifications alone do not establish how it will sustain or feel under the hands. A rosewood fingerboard carries 22 frets and bird-shaped inlays. The stated scale length is 625 mm, also listed as 24.594 inches, placing it in a shorter scale category than a typical 25.5-inch electric guitar.

PRS specifies a Pattern Thin neck profile, measuring 21 mm thick at the first fret and 23 mm at the twelfth. The nut is 42.9 mm wide, and the fingerboard radius is 254 mm, or 10 inches. Together, these figures give a useful sense of the neck's geometry: the profile thickens slightly toward the body, while the radius is a moderate curve rather than an especially flat surface. Actual comfort will depend on hand size, setup, and individual preference, none of which can be determined from the measurements alone.

The neck has imitation-bone binding, according to the supplied specification. No nut material is stated, so the binding description should not be taken as confirmation of the nut's material. The 22-fret layout and shorter scale are clear, but fret size and fret material are not provided.

Pickups and controls

The guitar uses two 58/15 LT humbuckers, one in the neck position and one at the bridge. The pickup designation identifies the model and type, but no output figures, magnet information, or frequency measurements are supplied. It would therefore be premature to claim a particular level of output or a specific tonal character based on this listing alone.

Each pickup has its own volume control, and each of the two tone controls has a push-pull function. A three-way toggle switch selects between the neck pickup, bridge pickup, and both together. The push-pull function adds switching options, but the exact coil or wiring behavior is not described. Buyers who need to know which pickup elements are engaged in each setting should confirm the wiring details with PRS or the seller before purchase.

Bridge, tuning hardware, and included accessories

A PRS two-piece bridge provides the stated bridge arrangement. The guitar has no tremolo, so the specifications do not describe a movable vibrato system. Nickel hardware is paired with non-locking, vintage-style tuning machines. The listing does not state the gear ratio or provide details about the bridge's adjustment range.

A gig bag is included, while a hard case is not. The sales unit is one instrument, and the item number is 652682. The listed color is Platinum Metallic, matching the more specific finish name in the detailed specifications.

What the specifications establish

The S2 McCarty 594 Thinline LM has a defined combination of materials, neck dimensions, pickup configuration, and control layout. Its short scale, set mahogany neck, dual humbuckers, and push-pull tone controls are the most useful points for comparing it with other electric guitars. However, the supplied details leave out weight, body thickness, fret dimensions, pickup wiring specifics, and factory setup measurements.

At $2,333, the listed price puts it in a considered purchase category, but these specifications cannot establish value against competing models without comparable build and performance information. There are no customer reports available here, and no hands-on findings to draw on. Buyers should treat the measurements and component list as the basis for evaluation, then verify setup, wiring behavior, and fit in person where possible.
