S2 594 Announced!

[Griz]

YES!!!! Price point on these? I see a NGD in my future, finally!

Pre-Orders showing up on Reverb $1699 or $1498 for thinline

 

[Shawn@PRS]

Saw these earlier and my wallet is now hiding in fear somewhere!

Do you mind letting us know what fretwire is being used on these? Typical S2 fretwire or will it be the same as the regular 594 size / shape?

It's the same wire that is being used on the Core 594 models (the big stuff)

 

[Shawn@PRS]

That one lookS Good.

And it stays in tune

Wish EU pricing was in line with that...

(Googles replacements for 'vintage tuners'...)

Google replied: PRS Phase III locking tuners.

Google replied: PRS Phase III locking tuners.

Will they fit without modification or do I need to ream the tuner holes?

The original tuners may indent the finish a little bit, but the Phase III's will fit with no modifications required.

Like the looks of the of the Thinline but wonder why the Pattern Thin neck and repositioned toggle switch? Wonder if they have anything to do with the thinner body?

Guess who's gonna check these out at NAMM.

Ditto!

 

[Tony M.]

Oh well.
There goes my plan to get a 35th ann. S2 CU24.
I will be getting one of these thinlines instead.
Does anyone know the release date?

One vendor on Reverb said estimated ship date of 3/24/2020...of course it had the language that it could change based on demand, etc, etc.

Bryan Ewald's playing in the demo only makes me want one of these ASAP!

 

[Kdogg788]

Interesting! Wonder if the S2 standards will go bye bye.

Not sure why they would. The Standards are a different guitar with trem and different neck. These are probably going to be more expensive than the standards also.

[Warmart]

Wise move by PRS, the S2 594 series is gonna be big big big!

 

[Timmy]

Oh no!

Always does. But this time, they took the model I wanted most but had put on the back burner due to price, and made a very affordable version. I seriously hope this blows me away as much when I play one, as I think it will.

No offense to the man himself, but.... LES WHO?

 

[drdoom8793]

Holding out for a single cut semi hollow.
I have its predecessor and love it.

I'm hoping for a Semihollow of the doublecut 594. Can you say "Goodbye, Kidney"?

 

[IRG]

Also intrigued. How much thinner is the body of the Thinline, compared to the S2 Custom 24? And I'm assuming it's thinner than the regular McCarty 594. I like the toggle switch placement better, I think, and the colors are certainly more unique too - love that antique white. I was thinking I really wanted the Singlecut, but now I'm not so sure...all three will be winners.
