PRS Resurrects the Mira: A Classic Returns with a Modern Makeover
Reviving a classic: the PRS Mira returns with a modern twist. Discover how key upgrades, including a new scale length and vintage-voiced pickups, make the S2 Mira 594 better than ever.
S2 Mira 594
Known for its budget-friendly appeal and exceptional playability, the Mira was originally introduced in 2007. It drew comparisons to classic 1960s solidbody guitars and was lauded for its stripped-down design and wide-ranging tonal capabilities. Though it evolved through various PRS lines, the model was ultimately discontinued in 2013, leaving a void for players seeking a no-frills, high-performance instrument.
Key Upgrades for the Modern Player
The newly re-engineered S2 Mira 594 builds on the original’s legacy while incorporating significant enhancements that cater to today's guitarists. The most notable changes include:
- Shrunken Scale Length: The guitar now features PRS's preferred 24.594” scale length, a subtle but impactful change from the original 25”.
- New Neck Profile: A comfortable Pattern Thin neck shape replaces the former Pattern Regular, offering a sleek, fast feel.
- Upgraded Pickups: The Mira is loaded with PRS 58/15 LT vintage-voiced humbuckers, which replace the older S2 Bass and Treble pickups, providing a richer, more nuanced tone.
- Coil-Splitting Versatility: Two mini-toggle switches enable individual coil splitting for each pickup, expanding the tonal palette from warm humbucker sounds to crisp single-coil voices.
- Aesthetic and Fret Count: The guitar retains its classic all-mahogany body and neck, and rosewood fretboard, but now features the iconic Bird inlays and 22 frets.
"The S2 Mira 594 combines our 24.594” scale length with a Pattern Thin neck shape and a very straightforward feature set that provides an incredibly lively, simple-to-use tool to create music," said PRS Guitars Director of Sales, Jim Cullen. "The Mira has had an interesting history, but I don’t think it found its true voice until now."
Tonal Excellence at an Accessible Price
Despite its premium features, the Mira remains an accessible option for players. It’s available in a range of vibrant finishes, including Matcha Green, Mavis Mint Metallic, Metallic Midnight, Dark Cherry Sunburst, and more. For guitarists seeking a professional-grade instrument that combines vintage inspiration with modern versatility, the new Mira might just be the perfect fit.
