Features We Love:

McCarty Fusion

The 24.594" scale length helps give this model its name. PRS has made sure enough of the McCarty heritage has been incorporated to provide an entirely new vibe to the S2 range. A fixed bridge and vintage-inspired appointments take the instrument the rest of the way. Players seeking a more classic feel will enjoy the thicker profile of the pattern vintage neck.

58/15 "S" Pickups

One of the most important factors in the overall tone of your guitar is the choice of pickups. PRS have used a new process called Tuned Capacitance and Inductance (TCI), giving them precise control of their pickup voicings. The idea behind the 58/15 humbuckers is to take a late 50's style pickup and use modern production techniques to bring you a more consistent sound.

Coil-Split

Stripped back features do not mean sacrificing versatility. The three-way selector switch combined with the 58/15 S Humbuckers already lends itself to a multitude of expressive tones. However, PRS has taken the pickup system and opened it up to the world of single-coil sounds. A push/pull switch, located in the tone control, splits the humbucker for an entirely different sonic landscape. PRS has given you a guitar that is easily adaptable and can happily sit in any genre.

Highlights:

• Bound pattern vintage neck
• 58/15 S Humbuckers with coil-split
