One of the BEST guitar/music channels ever! Your Gibson factory tour with Jim Decola was awesome! I watch it over and over again. Thanks John and Zach. Love from Pearland(Houston), Texas.❤☺🎸👍
That tailpiece design gives this guitar unreal sustain. Tried out a single cut S2, blown away by its huge tone, sustain, playability, neck feel, looks, perfect workmanship.
I think it's hilarious when your videos coincide with my purchases. I just bought a pre loved S2 594 singlecut from my local music store. I really wasn't shopping for another guitar, but I plugged it in and just kinda fell in love with it. It truly is a great playing and sounding guitar. I read somewhere that the 24. 594 scale length thing comes from Paul and Ted McCarty measuring the actual scale length on some Les Pauls from the '50s and discovering that was the actual scale length as opposed to 24 3/4. I don't think you get enough love for your playing in these videos, you are actually quite good. Thanks for showing us another amazing guitar. Can't wait til you hit 50k, I've never won anything but green is my favorite color and I got my fingers crossed, lol.
I think PRS has the best looking headstocks followed by Music Man. To me the Gibson open book is the second worst only to the giant V shaped Dean ones.
Along with the links for the particular items you're demonstrating, can you give us a generic link that will help the channel so that we can shop with that link for other stuff at ZZounds?

Had the core 594 with a killer 10 top. Loved the weight of it and how to played, but my Les Paul just always sounded better lol i sold it and got a Les Paul Custom. I really wanted to like the PRS better, but just couldn’t. That being said, id like another once it makes sense, financially. Haha
I think if the pickups are the problem, you can always throw in a set of PAF styles in the PRS, since all things being equal, they are great to play due to the weight and ergonomics!
@@Squall6575 I had out bareknuckles Mules in the 594. I found the stock 58/15 LT’s to be very underwhelming. No balls or power lol just that super bright and trebly PAF tone. I always swap the pickups in my Les Pauls for medium output Seymour Duncan’s and will probably do the same if I get another 594.
Having had both, the difference is in the neck. The S2 has the same fretboard, frets and nut as the cores. The neck roll and finishing are outstanding on the S2. The brass tuning posts make a difference also. The S2 body carve is the most comfortable PRS shape with the possible exception of a silver sky.
Hey guys, I like the channel. When you demo the guitar sounds with the backing track I think it would sound better to bring the volume of the backing track up and lower the guitar sounds.
These are great guitars, I'm just not sure they are worth the extra over an SE. I love the look of these guitars, apart from one thing - the switch being so close to the body carve is jarring to my eyes. And now I can't unsee it lol. Great guitar though, and great channel, one of my new favourites!

I don't know about sustain but it has more richer tone than something like on a tremolo bridge on a stratofaster

That's great haha! Enjoy the guitar, nice choice. I appreciate it and best of luck, rooting for you
Outside of all the other things that make PRS guitars beautiful, I really love the headstock. I think those tailpieces are great as well.

@@barrygagnon8629 I agree, PRS has the best headstock design!
I love mine. The neck is large but very comfortable. Bridge pickup is a eh for me. Neck pickup rules imo. I put a prs “metal” pickup in my bridge.
Since I also play nylon I wish the radius was flatter but an awesome guitar still
I must confess: I have both and my first reach is still Gibson Les Paul Classic. I guess it's just a matter of personal taste.
Yes I will admit the Les Paul Classic is 💯, thanks for watching! 🍻
I have an ebony 2020 LP Classic. Best guitar I ever owned.
I have a Les Paul Classic and an S2 594 that will be here in a couple days...I'm curious as to which I will prefer over time.
Sounds good their comfortable guitars
the bridge pickup has incredible tone on both clean and dirty!
I played one last Saturday at Sweetwater.
Truth...

Was a Gibson guy for 20 years, bought my first 594 and was converted overnight.
I like it at least from a spectator stance.
Great Video with a great guitar. Can please check the SE McCarty 594? Is it as good as the S2?
Amazing breakdown! Immediately subscribed!! ❤
So is the green 24 gonna be the next video? I hope so!
Yes, the S2 Custom 24 on deck. Thanks for watching!
Hard to tell via TH-cam, but these pickups sound remarkably cheap
Considering pairing this with medium output Fralins. time to bring this guitar into the 21st century

The only Les Paul I want is that green custom raffle give away
The one I want would be that snakepit which has a snake inlay on the neck
Could really go for that Gibby!!
Nice vid...I love my s2 594
Nice vide but the volume is too low, I cranked it up all the way and it was still not as loud as I would have preferred.
At twice the price and the same pickups and electronics as the import do you think this is as good a value as the SE version?

I own an SE 245 and just purchased this same S2 McCarty, and they are world's apart.
We’re giving away a guitar, but I forgot what the brand was
Only 8.4 is that out of 10? These guitars are flawless. 9.5 or higher.
Great video!
If I hear 1 more person explain 594,if ur late to vid skip the specs
Lost me at nitro
