PRS S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut Electric Guitar, Whale Blue Finish

If you're looking for a guitar that mixes old-school style with modern features, the PRS S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut in Whale Blue is a great option. It looks cool, plays smoothly, and sounds amazing. Let's break it down in a way that's easy to understand.

Body and Construction

This guitar has a solid mahogany body with a maple top. That combo gives you deep, warm sound from the mahogany and bright, clear tones from the maple. The top is carved to be comfy against your body when you play.

The Whale Blue colour is a see-through, glossy blue finish that lets the wood grain show through. While it’s not a regular colour for 2025, you might find it in special or custom versions. And it really stands out!

Neck and Fingerboard

The neck is made from mahogany and shaped in PRS’s Pattern Vintage style. It feels thick and rounded, like classic guitars from the past. It’s strong and helps the guitar sound full and loud.

The fingerboard is made from rosewood and has a slight curve (10" radius), making it easy to press chords and bend notes. There are 22 frets, and you’ll see bird inlays instead of dots. It also has a smooth edge called faux-bone binding.

Here are some size details:

• Scale length: 24.594” (great for easy string bends)
  
• Nut width: 1 11/16”
  
• Neck depth (near top): 7/8”
  
• Neck depth (further down): 63/64”
  
• Neck width near the body: 2 1/4”
  

Pickups and Sound

This guitar comes with two 58/15 “S” humbuckers. These pickups give you rich, clear sound and work great for many styles like rock, blues, and even jazz.

You get full control with:

• 2 volume knobs (one for each pickup)
  
• 2 tone knobs that you can pull up to switch to single-coil sound
  
• 3-way switch to pick the neck pickup, bridge pickup, or both
  

This means you can get heavy tones or bright clean sounds all from one guitar.

Hardware and Tuning

The bridge is a strong two-piece design made from brass and steel, which helps your notes last longer and stay in tune. The tuners are easy to turn and keep your strings in tune well. Some guitars might come with locking tuners, too.

All the metal parts are nickel, giving the guitar a classic look that goes well with the blue finish.

Looks and Feel

• Top: The maple top looks amazing under the Whale Blue finish
  
• Headstock: Classic PRS shape with a gold logo
  
• Truss Rod Access: You can adjust the neck easily from the front
  
• Binding: Cream-coloured edge on the neck and body
  
• Inlays: Most models have birds, but some have moon shapes
  

The neck has a smooth satin finish, so your hand doesn’t stick when moving around. The guitar weighs about 8 to 8.5 pounds, which feels solid but not too heavy.

Easy to Play

This guitar is made to feel comfortable and fun to play. The special scale length makes it easier to bend notes, and the pickups give you a wide range of sounds.

The coil-splitting option lets you change the tone easily, from heavy and full to light and crisp. Whether you’re playing clean notes or rocking out with distortion, this guitar can do both.

Gig Bag and Bonus Setup

You get a PRS gig bag with this guitar perfect for carrying it safely. Like Musicstreet, even set up the guitar before they send it, so it's ready to play right away. You can also ask for different strings if you prefer a special brand or size.

The PRS S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut in Whale Blue is a mix of vintage style and modern quality. It sounds great, looks amazing, and feels comfortable to play. Even though Whale Blue isn’t a normal colour for 2025, it’s worth looking for.

If you want a USA-made guitar that’s reliable, flexible, and fun to play, this one is a top choice.
