Just ordered the S2 McCarty 594 in what they call "New Cherry Sunburst" finish and I'm looking forward to receiving it. Thanks for the great video here. I'm beginning to think that these PRS models (I already own a Custom 24 with a Floyd Rose) far surpass anything that Fender or Gibson has been manufacturing and, yes, I own both makes. These things just give you any kind of sound you want, with the playability we crave. Great playing, by the way Jon. I subscribed to your channel.
Another fantastic McCarthy Jon. Beautiful tones even the neck single coil sounded great. You could see how you enjoyed playing that neck, the intro was sizzling 😄👍👍
Love the rock display on your Orange the most. ❤ Just wondering, are the 24 spline USA knobs on 18 spline pot shafts and if so, is it just a friction fit or are they USA pots? Amazing skills as usual. Thanks for the beautiful guitar and demo.
Great sounding guitar that gets you into a full PRS rather than an SE. at a sensible price. I would have to try one, as slim necks are a must for me. Thanks for another tempting video Jonathan.🙂
What a great solo! Man, that's some tasty work. I had this guitar in whale blue and loved the body/neck, but the pots soon needed upgrading and I wanted lower output pickups, so rather than cannabalizing it, I just went ahead and bought a Heritage H-535 with Seth Lover pups. I'd sold my Gibson Figured ES-335 and wanted to replace it, so I solved to problems. And....Jon is never TOO loud! haha
So good Jon I just subscribed again for the only double sub on YT lol! That Song would be the sound track in my life movie.... as I cruise around Southern Cali in the 70s wind in my hair waving to friends and babes at the beach haha
Liking pup selector switch location. The only PRS in my stable is an acoustic...However...an electric has been calling me...🤣 This particular guitar may have my name on it😉😎👍 Prefer single coils...however PRS split function sounds more authentic than other brands 😎👍 Thanks Johnathan 😎👍❤🖖
While I was researching, PRS had confirmed that the S2 pickups are better quality than the SE pickups however they’re both made overseas. The S2, while built in USA, has all electronics from abroad.. Doesn’t make it bad… but buyers should know. It’s nowhere mentioned in their catalogue therefore one has to assume they prefer you don’t know.
I love your videos and I know this is 4 months after the video was posted but I was wondering if you’ve ever had the chance to try the Prs S2 Vela? It sounds very vintage to me and I’ve been wondering what your thoughts would be on it. God Bless
amazing review I 'd like to hear drive sounds also but there are in the song part .... and wondering about tunning stability .... they are in the same price range with gibson LP I'd like to know which one you'd go with in the end 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤❤ thanks
I pre ordered this double cut today in Whale Blue thanks to you and this amazing demo/review. Shouldn’t you get a finder’s fee? Sweetwater will not have it in stock until late April. I will just have to keep watching your videos of it until then.
This is a really nice demo of this great guitar, shows its features and tones well. I would like to own a 594 but can't justify paying for the core model which is quite expensive, but the S2 is a viable option. Nice playing Mr. Koh! On another note, have you tried any of the new Revstar series for this year? They are great!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud but I am considering an Adam Jones signature Gibson Les Paul instead.. just a little more costly but very versatile and sounds great.
This is NOT a review, this is an amazing song you are playing. I could ear your playing all day long.... is there an album ? I am very interested in the guitar also ! but I had some issues with my 2 last PRS CE 24 which had SE hardware and they didn't stay in tune more than 1/2 hour ... the electronics was also tricky, sometimes you find yourself with no sound at all by changing the pick up selector position ! I have not yet tried an S2, I will have to test this one instead of ordering it on a webstore....
Thank you Ryan.. 1) it depends on whether you find it worthwhile for the better appointments and looks. 2) the scale length. Normal McCarty- 25” The 595- 24.594”

Thanks for the review Jon. I just purchased one and I’m putting 59/09’s in it.

Jon, your guitar reviews are great, the intro, the song, tones, review, everything is there!
Thank you ✌️❤️
Thank you ✌️❤️
Beautiful playing and touch at 8:00. Thank you and God bless.

Always dig the candle and the mood in the background. Awesome playing as usual. Congrats on the new sick looking guitar 👍
Glad you like it!✌♥

Good choice! Welcome to the channel! ✌♥
You are an amazing guitar player!
Thank you✌♥
Amazing playing! Just incredible!
Thank you✌️❤️
Really impressed with how good those 58/15 S pickups sound with your hands! 🎸
Thank you kindly!✌
Is LT pickup better?
Very nice happy song!
Thanks!✌️❤️

Yes Tom...loving the guitar!
Beautiful playing. Lovely guitar. Thanks!
Thank you
WOW, That Demo!
Thank you❤️
Beautiful classic look ; ❤️ it
Yep I’m a loving it!❤️
Love the rock display on your Orange the most. ❤
Just wondering, are the 24 spline USA knobs on 18 spline pot shafts and if so, is it just a friction fit or are they USA pots? Amazing skills as usual. Thanks for the beautiful guitar and demo.
Thank you.. I’m not sure about the pots sorry.. maybe you should check with some PRS forums?
really nice guitar . Now I want one
lol go for it✌♥
Great sounding guitar that gets you into a full PRS rather than an SE.
at a sensible price.

And....Jon is never TOO loud! haha
Cool!!!✌️❤️
That was a solid bit of a Steely Dan tone at the beginning.
✌️😛✌️
Superb Jon!!! As always!!!
Thank you Finn✌️❤️
Nice review as always. The new core 594 models don't have locking tuners anymore, they went vintage as well. Keep up the outstanding work.
Oh really!! That’s interesting!! Thanks for the headsup!!
Love your shirt! My favourite guitar shop. I actually bought the S2 594 from there last month! 😄🙌
Awesome!!! The doublecut??
@@JonIsJustTooLoud haha yes sir! Faded Blue Smokeburst. 😄
Awesome playing Jon hope one day I can play as good as you.
Thank you..You will play better!!✌
So good Jon I just subscribed again for the only double sub on YT lol! That Song would be the sound track in my life movie.... as I cruise around Southern Cali in the 70s wind in my hair waving to friends and babes at the beach haha
Lol!!!

Glad this video helped ✌️❤️
Awesome Jon!!!!
Thanks Stacey ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud anytime Jon! I don’t know about you but the s2 single and double cut both sound unique onto themselves to my ears. ✌🏼✌🏼💚
@@stacey_1111rh Yes i'm pretty sure
there's a difference
Great video. Thank you. How does the neck compare to the Silver Sky neck, which I love? Thank you.
Very different! Even though it has a vintage feel, the radius is 7.25 compared to 10” on this guitar✌️❤️

No not yet ✌❤
Way to smoke it, dude! I love, love, love it.
Lol thank you✌️❤️
Man I tried the thinline at Davis a month ago and I don't wanna put it down 😅
I think there’s a Thinline there still ✌️❤️
amazing review I 'd like to hear drive sounds also but there are in the song part .... and wondering about tunning stability .... they are in the same price range with gibson LP I'd like to know which one you'd go with in the end 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤❤ thanks
That decision is out in the latest video! ✌💚

Jon, you may have just sold another guitar for PRS.......damn, that S2 594 sounds amazing in your hands !
Thank you ✌💙

Thank you.. and yes I’ve always advised trying out the guitars before you buy✌️❤️
Two questions:
1. Is the Core worth the increase in price?
2. Difference between the regular McCarty and the 594?
As usual...great demo!
Thank you Ryan..
1) it depends on whether you find it worthwhile for the better appointments and looks.
2) the scale length. Normal McCarty- 25”
The 595- 24.594”

Can’t decide. Thinline or this one
Maybe this would help…th-cam.com/video/OyOFU3yLLqg/w-d-xo.html
I have the exact guitar, in smokeburst blue...but mine doesn’t sound as good as Jons!!!!!
Nice!!✌️❤️
I can’t make my McCarty sound that good. Hmmm? Might it be operator? LOL too loud. Really nice tones.
Thanks!✌♥
