You Owe It to Yourself to Try This Guitar!! || PRS S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut Demo/Review - Hudba
Lol so totally didn’t mean to, but this just happened to perfectly line up with today’s virtual PRS Experience. Anybody else tuning in? Anyways, here’s a singlecut..
And we hit 80K, holy crap! Thank you so much for sticking around, on to 100K!
You should try and get a hold of a Music Man! The Cutlass and Stingray models with the roasted maple necks are just 👌🏻
Agufish 👋🎸👌Congratulations, I’m only a Patron to 2 channels and you are 1of them👊
Dude. I had a PRS SE Mark Holcomb at my local music shop,Long and Mcquade for an awesome deal, because of the happenings in the world I didn't think it would have sold yet. The stores are closed to the public. So I called yesterday and it's sold 😷🥺😭
Agufish At one point I owned an American standard satin 22 and it was hands down the best guitar I ever owned. Unfortunately money got tight and I ended up selling it. I swear to god it felt like I just broke up with the girl of my dreams. Prs guitars are that good.
Nisssssssssce 🤺🎸
The paint doesn’t attract pollen, that’s static electricity attracting the pollen. Wipe the guitar with a dryer sheet and that will go away.
Holy shit I just tried that and you’re a genius! Thank you, that was driving me nuts!
Agufish No problem!
This comment alone makes me think you need your own channel
Very refreshing to see a PRS review done with some metal tones, I’ve been wanting to buy one but literally every single review is done with a clean blues tone
"You know what'd be great for demonstrating tone? Darude Sandstorm."
-Hunter, 2020
Hahaha I was really just curious to see who was watching these videos all the way through 😂
I enjoy every video that you have filmed to introduce each guitar in detail.
Words are not enough to convey how much I love my S2 Custom 24.
I've been thinking of snagging one of these S2's. Perfect timing for this demo. Thanks man. Be well
I been interested in learning the guitar, after hours of researching everything there is to know, I stumbled upon this video and I honestly feel I have a calling to really give this a try ! This is the exact sound I want to play and I’m so excited to keep learning and have a passion for this instrument ✨
Sounds incredible. That faded blue smokeburst one you flashed up looks out of this world
Seeing that the S2 and Core models are made in MD, I'd love to see a guitar with crab inlays.
UNDERRATED COMMENT
AS A MARYLANDER YES OMG
crab, duck, goose, another duck...
Give it to Attack Attack
Excellent demo of what appears to be a fantastic guitar. Hope to try one soon!
I wish I could like this video more than once!! Your style is amazing!
Love PRS. These do not disappoint. Also props this demo song is probably my favorite one you've written.
I just received my SE 245 last week. The fret ends are baby butt smooth right out of the box and it's a joy to play. Definitely will buy a higher end model later.
Really cool demo track! I usually don't bother to listen to them, but I couldn't skip it. Good work!
I f***ing love the demo song!! You used it another demo ages ago. Use to go and watch it just to hear that banging main riff.
Hi Agufish, it's always a real pleasure to watch your videos, a great moment, i feel like i am on holiday, especialy in this period when i stay home for working or week-end due to that virus confinment. You are one of the channel i like ( and love) the most, and i learn a lot of great things through your tests.
Thanks for all the great testings that you do, continue, you are GREAT ! Best Regards, JM from France.
Dude this was amazing! Loved it so much.. listened on my powerbeats sounded crazy bro
I love this PRS, I got an s2 singlecut which I left stored for over 3 months, when I got it out of the gig bag It was still in tune
That Prs with the Jet City dirty tone..sounds awesome dude!
Thanks to you Hunter I just placed an order for a PRS S2 594 Thinline in Antique White, super keen to get it!
Great video, great licks, and the tone seemed extra good today. Or maybe it’s the drinks I am having. Either way keep up the great work!
I have a s2 custom 22. Its amazing. I was going to buy one of these this year but then ya know. Life happened.
I have had mine for 4 years now! Upgraded the pickups
Hunter! Thank you for demo-ing the middle setting with both pickups on! So many channels flat out ignore that setting and all of the tone possibilities! I love to cut the volume of the neck pickup just a hair, then darken the bridge pickup tone just a hair. Thanks again!
Nice - I have the s2 McCarty thin line on order. Can’t wait for it to show up (whenever that is).
great video im sold
Great review
Just bought that exact same model. Can’t wait
Song mix sounds HUGE, hats off to Luke. That bass sounds chunky AF. The song itself sounds awesome too. And now I want a PRS S2...
I've got an S2 singlecut standard satin whatever the heck and it's the best guitar I've ever owned and I love it to death. Simple, mean, awesome, and man does that neck feel wonderful. One of those guitars you pick up and feel inspired every time. At least for me
I bought this exact same guitar shortly after watching your video. It plays as good or better the my PRS Custom 24. The neck is obviously bigger on the S2 but so nice to play. Incredible guitar!
Just got the S2 Thinline McCarty 594. Took a day or two to warm up to it, but now it's total love!
Love the purple finish and the build quality is not surprising. I bought an SE Custom 22 in 2010 used. It is a great guitar and I still play it today. Took 9 years but in 2019 finally got a wood library SC594, I love it. Great video .
Hunter, I have 4 papers due and 7 literature assignments due all at the end of the month and you upload this? To a PRS FANBOY!?!? I'm not mad I'm just disappointed at your timing lmao
And then the virtual PRS Experience happening this afternoon... :)
@@agufish I was gonna go this year and this was my first one 😤😤. Next year tho. I live in Maryland and have met PRS and he's such a great guy. Crazy but a genius, always wanting to push the guitar to its limits. I've gone to the factory and had a tour and it was magical.
Ordered one. Should be here Monday
Really nice intro song @Agufish! I've never played a S2 PRS, so thanks for sharing.
The song at the beginning had that "Turkish rock" type flavor, at least to my ears. Nice one!
Anxiously awaiting delivery of my own S2 Vela!
Please let me know what you think of the Vela! I'm so curious!
@@brandoncarson3143 only had it for a day or so and its so much more than I hoped.
I was worried the neck was too wide. The bridge pickup too weak, and that bridge was too twangy. The neck is perfect. Not shredder slim but not vintage baseball bat. The bridge pickup is adequate for now, though I will go with a higher output one later. And while the twang is certainly there, it isn't too pronounced. It does have the bonus effect of making heavy chugs pretty punchy.
All in all I love it. My only gripe is the neck pick up, while beautiful sounding, is too mismatched with the bridge. Pretty noticeable volume drop from bridge to neck. Higher output bridge pickup may worsen that.
God that tone is very clean...smooth even👍
Single cut guitars are the best to play on and I love that PRS guitar👏👏
That guitar is just amazing.
That's THE tone! As follow up to your last video - I have Tremonti SE 2018. After having it for more than 1.5 years I would say that the 10" radius and smaller frets (compared to extra jumbo on my LP) makes the fretboard extremely comfortable. The 2-side trem they put on this model is really good - it stays in tune, it will not scratch your hand. The guitar came with perfect setup out of box and I didn't even change the strings for 3 months. Just playing over and over again. Honestly I still haven't changed anything on the setup. Next on the GAS list - SE Custom 22/24 (or Silversky SE if they make one soon)
Hunter: "..vintage.."
Hunter: *plays the first demo*
Me: -.-
That thing sounds sick.
I own three S2's .. two Singlecut's and a Custom 24...each are outstanding fit and finish.
I also own Core and SE models....the pickups in the S2 are down right awesome
They are great pick ups in the S2
Sweet review, man. This may be the only McCarty tuned to B.
I recently bought this model in McCarty Sunburst,it's a killer guitar,the tone and variation of tones are superb,it's a chunkier type neck but the playability is very good and after owning 6 Les Paul's over a long time I can honestly say that this guitar is way ahead of Gibson LP's.
I am looking forward to trying an S2 again, it was a long time ago and I didn’t love it, or the SE range, but the newest SE (35th c24) is just great compared to that time when I didn’t like it much. So I bought it. I hope I can try this S2, and see how it feels. You did a really nice job with this video thanks!
Cool guitar, and I love PRS ever since I bought my tremonti SE years ago. But I NEED binding stripe around the body 😅
Damn, here before 200 views and only 5 mins after upload! Now just gotta sit back and enjoy
I just tried out a single cut S2 McCarty 594 a few weeks back. I’m blown away, it’s the nicest guitar I’ve ever played. Tried the core and it’s just as good. In fact I preferred it, the core puck ups were very bright for my tastes and sounded a bit more towards single coil, but they felt almost identical to play.
Congrats buddy you deserve it you do a great job man those pickups sound great do a review of the jackson dinky sand blasted ash with fluence humbukers or the Jeff Loomis signature Kelly
PRS are amazing, I have an SE Singlecut and that influenced me to get 3 of the first birds tattooed on my arm, just amazing guitars!
The one single Cut to rule then all
I’m sold
I'd love to try an S2 and a core model back to back. I just bought a new SE Limited Edition with the roasted maple neck and DAMN it's a nice guitar.
I have an SE and an S2. The S2 is a major upgrade! The SE is an awesome guitar too, but the neck is even better on the S2 models and feels so fancy!
Welcome to the family😊✌🏿
I have a PRS Tremonti SE and love it. Maybe one day if I win the Lotto, I could afford that S2 !
Demo song was great sir
I've been going back and forth between one of these and a Les Paul Studio- I just put this on order with Sweetwater!
How do you like it? I am waiting for mine
@@daveg4236 absolutely love it. Its simple but the quality is great and it resonates better than anything ive had so far. Never knew how much i would like p90s
@@RichVandewhatever they should be 58/15s humbuckers.... did you swap them for p90’s?
I have a 2020 S2 singlecut in burnt amber and it is a great guitar! Got a great deal on it too as they have pretty much replaced them with the new McCarty model.
Good price point.
$200 more expensive than a LP Studio
$300 cheaper than a LP Classic
I don’t particularly like the fretboard Rad or the flat top but that finish options and bridge/tailpiece hardware is mint!
I've been playing Epiphone Les Pauls live for a few years now, a Tribute Plus and an Inpired my 1955 Custom. I got a PRS S2 Singlecut in a couple of days ago and it has blown my mind with how effortlessly it plays. It's like an LP without any of the fight you get used to with more traditional appointments. The only thing I'm changing is the bridge pickup. Still love my Epi's though.
I have an S2 and 2 Epiphone guitars. One of them has active pickups. The S2 of course is superior, but I know what you mean.
I got the elephant grey single cut S2 as a gift. I will probably go out and buy another S2. It’s well worth the price.
Sounds awesome I live in Maryland and don't own a prs but I need t add one to my collection eventually
Very few vids of 594s used for metal. Sounds good. Think the core model does heavy riffs just as well?
Hunter! Can you review the S2 Vela Semi-Hollow?
I've been looking at this model. You like the single cut over the double cut? What do you think about the thinline?
I certainly like the used (demo) red singlecut I recently acquired. Spot on intonation. Sounds great overall. I can't compare to Core pickups, but certainly hold their own to anything in a similar price range. Considering guitars made in Indonesia are now moving into 4 figures in price, the S2 is more than competitive for what you get. It looks like yours had the G saddle spring removed so it could go far enough back to intonate.
I love the PRS single cut after i saw Marty Fiedman use it
Damn I love those bevels.
Buddy has the mccarty s2 purple burst quilt top and it is a 1 of 3 model. I get to play it every practice cause its his first guitar(he's our vocalist) but I I jealous everyone I pick it up. Other guitarist has a mccarty 10 top custom 24. The irony is I'm the lead guitarist and I play an se custom 24 in matteo blue with upgrades. Great video as usual!
I like this one man...not sure how I feel about white plastics but..that's it everything else is beautiful
I had a coworker who kept having me try his core PRS guitars. Absolutely killer guitars but the S2 prices are certainly more friendly to the pocketbook comparitively.
Now if there was a red S2 semi-hollow 594 it would be mine the moment I had the money haha
Edit: as for Georgia pollen, I live down in Valdosta Georgia so I feel you lmao
This is my next guitar. I am just hung up on what color to get.
Did you change the strings man? Sounds like a low tuning but doesn't sound real floppy , I put 11-52 on my S2 Singlecut for D standard/drop C
Hey Hunter, what do you think of the new Vintera Road Worn series?
Try the Santana Se gold
I just received my yesterday
Its beautiful unbelievable quality for the money
It should be a core what a neck I love everything about it useing volume at different numbers setting it doesn't lode its character
I love it
17:22 sandstorm!!!!!!
In the last 6 months I bought an S2 Standard 22 Satin and then a Custom 22. I brought the Standard to a PLEK setup and after the PLEK machine's analysis the shop owner told me he didn't have to anything because the setup and the frets were already absolutely perfect. That says a lot. Oh, and my Custom 22 has the same whale blue finish and that annoying dust attraction problem... I bought a bottle of Fender's "Guitar Quick Clean" because of its anti-static attribute, and yes, that does help a little.
Sounding like trivium dude!!! You would make awesome music on stage!! Studio!! Hell Anywhere
Ive always loved the look of PRS guitars. I currently own a Fender Strat and I want a different type of guitar to go with it. I'm torn between one of these, a LP or a SG. Please help
I used to have a S2 Mira semi hollow. I miss it
Would you say these are closer to the SE range or high end US catalog? I've played both the new Tremonti and Zack Myers SE's, phenomenal. Wanting to pull the trigger on an S2 but wasn't sure the purpose of this line with the SE quality reputation. Great review. To me it seems like this would be an upgraded SE where the "some of all the parts/craftsmanship" come together perfectly, or is it a bare bones "high end?"
I’d probably swap out the pickups for taste, but the build and nitro finish make this feel far and away better than my Korean-made SE Tremonti (which is by no means a bad guitar). Upgrading an SE will get you a great guitar, but I’d still rather have an S2!
xXSadbu2ruXx I'd put the ZM above the S2.
The hype is real, PRS build quality is impeccable!
Dude! you should review Music Man or Sterling by Music Man. they have amazing top of the line and mid range guitars!
Hunter, you search great value for money. Maybe you could check out some of new Gretsch guitars? G5222 Double Jet model for example?
What's the song name? @17:22
Great video man. PRS, when it comes to guitars, is pure quality. I mean when you get to a point, where a lot of single cut fans, migrate to these guitars, there needs to be something done from the other guys. A lot of my buddies who love the LTD/ESP, Gibson, Epiphone single cuts, have acquired a PRS single cut, due to either the BS lawsuit stuff or the quality pulls them over to PRS.
I just sold my LP and got this. I have two CE24s and love them.
@@daveg4236 excellent
still can't choose between faded blue smokeburst and elephant gray :( any thoughts?
Hmmm....I feel like elephant gray might be better; however, I haven't seen any in person. Just digital pictures. That'd be a gamble.
Have you ever tried the Jackson Monarkh pro SC ? Insane single cut guitar for metalhead!
I've had two, liked them both a lot. But moved on from them in the end
I like the S2 series because I’m not so afraid of dings and doinks when I bring it to practice / gigs. And they sounds and play absolutely amazing! PRS is where it’s at! Edit: I believe the older S2’s used USA made pups (I’m pretty sure). The recent S2 I purchased was obviously a cheap ceramic pup which was mud city. Replaced both pups and it’s now my most played guitar for heavy tones. I even prefer it to my SG with EMG’s in it for metal. Crazy
haha I had to be a little more careful with this loaner, but yeah it's an absolute workhorse!
@@agufish you mean you have to give it back? Even after that review? I'd tell them my dog ate it! Ha
PRS fanatics absolutely hate it when you put EMGs in a PRS lol. I'm not one of them (I don't even own a PRS rn), but they think it removes the tonal qualities from the wood and makes it sound the same as other guitars with EMGs. Probably overexaggerated at the very least, but still, just warning you.
I just got a s2 singlecut in faded blue smokeburst not too long ago . It's now my main guitar and I'm getting another one very soon . Good review , but prs should've stuck with the locking tuners that I have on my singlecut . The vintage tuners are a nice touch though . That being said , it's the first thing I would replace .
Good video, nice guitar for the price! One color they forgot, left handed. So inside the box thinking.
There are usually dealer-specific lefty options that aren’t advertised on the website. Reverb might have a few!
@@agufish Thanks, and again for the good thorough video. It's just getting aggravating, recently Epiphone/Gibson redid their website which used to have left handed models, now they're gone. If you compare eating food to shopping for left handed guitars, it's like always eating leftovers, every single day.
you should totally demo and review the Music Man StingRay RS
Hunter will you ever do caparisons?
I think this guitar is a good modding platform! ;) :D
would love a tab of that opener track - that's badass
Which neck seems more comfortable to play, Tremonti SE or S2 McCarty 594?
