    S2 McCarty vs S2 Custom 24 for vintage clean humbucker > single coil

    Is there really such a thing? I have the S2 McCarty 594 and S2 Custom 24 and they are great guitars. In. my opinion a good bang for the buck. If the house was on fire and I could save only 1 it would be the McCarty though.

    PRS Paul's Guitar SE nut replacement question.

    I’m pretty new to PRS and have not really researched or compared TUSQ vs PRS nut characteristics so please take this with a grain of salt. That said, with other guitars (Strats) I have done this incrementally. I just replaced the tuners first (no drilling or tech was required for this so it...

    A Question For Those Who Know ...

    I have an S2 McCarty 594 single cut and an S2 Custom 24 that have the 58/15 “S”:and 85/15 “S” respectively. Not the expert you are looking for but they definitely sound different. I’ve actually read that they are wound differently. From a user perspective, I’ve only had these a few months...

    Pete Townsend Great Guitar Moments

    Townsend actually helped create the band Thunderclap Newman and played bass in their studio recordings. He is extremely talented and under appreciated in my opinion.

    Introduce yourself!

    I am finally out of PRS purgatory! Ended up not going with the SE after reconsidering. Landing on my doorstep yesterday was an S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut with a perfect Sunburst finish. Just proves that the best things in life are worth waiting for. I think I need a post or two to attach...

    Introduce yourself!

    Really appreciate the welcome. Sad to say I have to return my PRS. Not an issue with the craftsmanship as it is a beautiful instrument but was re-boxed by the dealer and missing a few parts. Will find a different PRS (hopefully same model) from another dealer but this particular guitar was just...

    Introduce yourself!

    Hello All. I am the ultimate slow beginner in guitar playing. Have tinkered with acoustic for a couple years but am just getting serious with this and it is developing into a passionate hobby. Grabbed a PRS last year and absolutely loved it but at the time could not justify the cost vs. my...
