PRS S2 McCarty 594 Thinline MM

PRS S2 McCarty 594 Thinline MM review

The PRS S2 McCarty 594 Thinline MM is listed at $2,385, with availability beginning in September 2026. Its specification sheet describes a U.S.-made, mahogany-bodied electric guitar with a set mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, two 58/15 LT pickups, and a two-piece bridge. It includes a gig bag, but no hard case. No customer reviews are available, so this assessment is limited to the published specifications rather than playing impressions or buyer feedback.

One detail needs clarification before ordering: the listed color appears as both Metallic Blue and Metallic Midnight. Those names do not match, and the provided information does not establish whether they refer to the same finish or which one will ship. Confirm the available color with the seller. The item number is 651894.

Body, neck, and fingerboard

The body and set neck are both mahogany. The specification lists no separate top, so there is no basis for assuming a contrasting wood cap or a carved top. The model name includes "Thinline," but the supplied data gives no body depth or weight. It is therefore not possible to quantify how thin or light this version is from the listing alone.

The neck uses PRS's Pattern Thin profile, measuring 21 mm thick at the first fret and 23 mm at the 12th. Those measurements provide a more useful reference than the profile name alone, although they do not describe every aspect of the neck's shape. A faux-bone binding runs along the neck. The rosewood fingerboard has a 254 mm (10-inch) radius and bird inlays, with 22 frets.

The scale length is 625 mm (24.594 inches), shorter than a typical 25.5-inch electric-guitar scale. The listed nut width is 42.9 mm (1.6875 inches). These dimensions help buyers compare the neck with instruments they already play, but they cannot establish how the guitar will feel in the hand. The provided specifications also do not state fret size, string gauge, or factory setup measurements.

Pickups and controls

The "HH" pickup designation means the guitar has two humbucking pickups. The specific models are a pair of PRS 58/15 LT pickups. The listing does not provide output readings, magnet details, or frequency measurements, so claims about their exact sound would go beyond the available evidence.

Each pickup has its own volume control, and there are two tone controls with push-pull functions. A three-way toggle switch selects pickup combinations. The sheet does not explain the switching states created by the push-pull controls, so buyers should check PRS documentation or ask the seller what coil or wiring changes those controls provide on this model. The hardware is nickel, and the tuners are non-locking, vintage-style machines.

Bridge, package, and practical considerations

The guitar uses a PRS two-piece bridge and has no tremolo. That is a straightforward distinction for players choosing between a fixed bridge and a vibrato system. The listing does not specify bridge adjustment range, tuner ratio, or whether a tool kit is included.

A gig bag is included, while a case is not. That is a relevant difference for buyers who need more protection for frequent transport. The listed package is one guitar, and the information does not identify any additional accessories. Confirming the bag's construction and storage features would require details beyond this specification sheet.

What the specifications establish

The strongest purchasing facts here are the mahogany body and neck, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, 24.594-inch scale, dual 58/15 LT humbuckers, two-piece bridge, and included gig bag. The neck thickness measurements, nut width, and fingerboard radius also give prospective buyers concrete dimensions for comparison.

At $2,385, this is a substantial purchase, and the available information leaves practical questions unanswered. The finish name is inconsistent, the push-pull wiring is not explained, and no body depth or weight is supplied. There are also no customer reviews to consult. Buyers should verify those details, along with stock and delivery timing, before placing an order.

Verdict

The PRS S2 McCarty 594 Thinline MM has a clearly specified core design: mahogany construction, a set neck, two humbuckers, independent volume and tone controls, and a fixed two-piece bridge. Its shorter scale and stated neck dimensions make it easier to compare with other guitars on paper. The listing is not complete enough to support claims about sound, balance, or playing comfort, and the conflicting color descriptions deserve particular attention. Treat this as a specification-based evaluation, not a report of hands-on testing.
