PRS S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut Quilt Top Music Zoo Exclusive Emerald Green with Black Wrap Burst

The incredible build quality and tone (and not to mention value) of a PRS S2 series guitar - dressed up for a Music Zoo exclusive run featuring quilt maple tops! This is a McCarty 594 Singlecut guitar part of said run, finished in a super cool Emerald Green with a Black Wrap Burst color. The guitar retains all of the specs we love about the McCarty 594 - a Pattern Vintage mahogany neck, the familiar 24.594" scale length, and the rock solid PRS two-piece bridge. Assure yourself you'll be the only one with a guitar that looks quite like this one when you add a quilt top to your McCarty 594!

Includes: Gigbag and Paperwork

While this isn't the most attractive shade of green, I'd certainly give this a go. Price was less than I was expecting as well to be honest.

As a recent convert to PRS (with the DGT SE), I’m interested in testing it, but the aesthetic is not for me. Specifically the birds.
 
It's a bit too humbucker-ish, sharp edges-ish, bird inlays-ish and snotty green-ish for my tastes.
 
Someday PRS will realize that there are a fair amount of potential customers that simply do not want the bird inlays. Ever. They offer far too few guitars without the birds. And of course, the terrible color/burst combination on this one as well.

So - likely a killer guitar. But a very hard pass from me.

I like the bird inlays.
 
For that price range of S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut, I'd opt for one of the blue offerings.

I like that it's not as gaudy as many PRS, but I do wish the top pieces matched each other a bit better. I briefly played one similar to this except grey/black Monday and it played and sounded great. Used price for it was like $1300, in pretty good condition.
 
The green is hideous. No way. Dont care for the light blue one either.
I like the dark blue one & wouldn't mind owning it. I dont mind the birds.
 
That finish is too much. I might learn to live with birds and some other iffy features, but the ecto-burst is unlivewithable.
