The S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut is the single-cutaway member of the McCarty 594 family in PRS's S2 line. Its spec sheet matches the double-cut: a maple top over a mahogany back, a set mahogany neck with the bound 22-fret Pattern Vintage carve, Birds on a rosewood board and the 24.594" scale.
That shorter scale gives a slightly slinkier feel than a 25" PRS, and the Pattern Vintage neck, 7/8" deep at the first fret, fills the hand. The two 58/15 LT humbuckers are wound in Maryland, and with a volume and a push/pull tone for each one you can run full humbuckers, drop into single-coil sounds or set the pickups at different levels for the middle toggle position. PRS fits its zinc and brass Two-Piece bridge with steel studs and Phase III Non-Locking Tuners, and says the guitar is intonated along the whole length of the neck. The frets are PRS Vintage Fret Wire, .110" wide.
Choose the Singlecut if a single-cutaway shape is what you reach for, and the S2 McCarty 594 if you prefer PRS's double-cut outline. Beyond the body shape, the two spec sheets are the same, so it comes down to which one feels like yours. Our pick is Black Amber, which we think looks right on a singlecut with nickel hardware.
