{"product_id":"prs-s2-mccarty-usa-2019","title":"PRS S2 McCarty - USA 2019","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"42\" data-end=\"401\"\u003eThe 2019 PRS S2 McCarty is a guitar built around restraint, balance and intent. Rather than chasing extremes, it focuses on feel, musicality and the fundamentals that make a great electric guitar inspiring to play. This example, finished in Dark Cherry Burst, leans into that philosophy with a classic aesthetic and a tone palette that feels considered and mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"403\" data-end=\"824\"\u003eThe Dark Cherry Burst finish gives the guitar a deep, understated presence, allowing the carved maple top to glow subtly rather than shout. It’s a colour that suits the McCarty design perfectly, sitting comfortably between vintage influence and modern refinement. The S2 line is built in the USA, and while it’s positioned as a more accessible PRS range, the craftsmanship and attention to detail remain unmistakably PRS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"1175\"\u003eThe McCarty platform is all about balance. The slightly thicker body and traditional stoptail bridge contribute to a strong fundamental note, excellent sustain and a natural resonance that you feel immediately when the guitar is unplugged. It’s lively and responsive, with a sense of solidity that encourages dynamic playing rather than fighting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1633\"\u003eTonally, the S2 McCarty covers a broad, usable range without excess. The pickups are voiced for clarity and warmth, delivering rich, rounded cleans and articulate driven tones that never feel brittle or overcooked. The push-pull control opens things up further, adding brighter, more open textures that expand the guitar’s versatility without compromising its core voice. It’s the kind of instrument that rewards nuance and touch as much as it does volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"2022\"\u003ePlayability is a standout. The neck profile feels comfortable and natural, striking a sweet spot between vintage fullness and modern ease. It sits beautifully in the hand, making long sessions effortless and encouraging confident movement across the fretboard. Everything feels well judged, from the fretwork to the setup, reinforcing the McCarty’s reputation as a player-focused design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2305\"\u003eSupplied with a PRS gigbag, this S2 McCarty in Dark Cherry Burst is an excellent example of a guitar that prioritises musical usefulness over flash. It’s refined, expressive and quietly confident, offering a lot of depth for players who value tone, feel and balance above all else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2312\" data-end=\"2326\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2328\" data-end=\"2349\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.25mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2354\" data-end=\"2376\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 1.25mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2381\" data-end=\"2406\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 22.63mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2411\" data-end=\"2437\"\u003eNeck Depth at 12th Fret: 25.03mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2442\" data-end=\"2454\"\u003eNut Width: 42.17mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2459\" data-end=\"2480\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 52.64mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2485\" data-end=\"2494\"\u003eWeight: 3.18kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2499\" data-end=\"2522\"\u003eModel: PRS S2 McCarty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2527\" data-end=\"2554\"\u003eFinish: Dark Cherry Burst\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2559\" data-end=\"2588\"\u003eCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2593\" data-end=\"2631\"\u003eBody: Mahogany with carved maple top\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2636\" data-end=\"2652\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2657\" data-end=\"2680\"\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2685\" data-end=\"2708\"\u003eScale Length: 24.594\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2713\" data-end=\"2749\"\u003ePickups: PRS S2 McCarty humbuckers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2754\" data-end=\"2818\"\u003eControls: 2 volume, 2 tone, push-pull coil split, 3-way toggle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2823\" data-end=\"2845\"\u003eBridge: PRS stoptail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2850\" data-end=\"2868\"\u003eHardware: Nickel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2873\" data-end=\"2891\"\u003eCase: PRS gigbag\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46134958096537,"sku":"26012","price":1995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/26012-1.webp?v=1772433409","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/prs-s2-mccarty-usa-2019","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
