Watch Ryan "Fluff" Bruce compare and contrast 3 PRS S2 McCarty 594 guitars

By Jackson Maxwell

He of Riffs, Beards & Gear goes in-depth on PRS' 'best of both worlds' series

Though PRS has pulled back the curtain on a number of tantalizing new electric guitars in the last six months, one of the company's biggest announcements of recent times came in the form of its S2 McCarty 594 series.

This fresh line of axes brought top-of-the-line McCarty designs to PRS' S2 series, its most affordable line of USA-built guitars. The 'best of both worlds' series contains the S2 McCarty 594, S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut and the S2 McCarty 594 Thinline.

That's all well and good, but what you must be wondering is, of course: 'how do they sound?' Here to answer that very question is our good friend, Ryan "Fluff" Bruce (opens in new tab).

Fluff compares and contrasts each of the guitars, going in-depth on their specs, before plugging in and giving viewers a super-useful look at the similarities and differences in the guitars' tone.

If you happened to be eyeing any of the guitars for yourself, but weren't sure about which S2 McCarty 594 was your speed, this is the video for you.

Jackson is an Associate Editor at GuitarWorld.com. He’s been writing and editing stories about new gear, technique and guitar-driven music both old and new since 2014, and has also written extensively on the same topics for Guitar Player (opens in new tab). Elsewhere, his album reviews and essays have appeared in Louder (opens in new tab) and Unrecorded (opens in new tab). Though open to music of all kinds, his greatest love has always been indie, and everything that falls under its massive umbrella. To that end, you can find him on Twitter crowing about whatever great new guitar band you need to drop everything to hear right now.
