2014 S2 custom 22 help!

[Jose Martin]

Hello!

I found a 2014 s2 custom 22, and I would like to ask you guys, what you think about this version?

Thank you.

Regards!

Not sure what you need to know: it will be a great playing CU22, without the fancier top of a Core, but still built in the USA.

I had one and regret selling it. Fantastic neck.

Actually, I'm just trying to see if there's something to be aware about this year production, or in this model, I think this one is from the second year S2 production.

Anything about it, good or bad is more than welcome!

Solid guitar. Nothing to worry about, well expect buying more after you have the first one.

Probably after few years I'll go for a core.

I just back to play guitar after 20 years, and, stop playing is the only decision that I regret at this moment.

BTW... ATM I use a cheap one just for practice, but, I disassembled it, rounded edges and polished frets, sanded carefully fretboard, is very smooth for practice.

OP I have 2 Standard 22s and they are my favorite, I like em better than my Core they play as well and the body contours are more comfy for me standing, I cant say enough just grab it and make sure the frets are OK its a winner! Nice finish too...

Nah, I don't think throughout the history of PRS there has ever been a "bad" or "off" year for QC/production. Stuff evolves, and in general the precise consistency of PRS has improved incrementally over time, but they were always great guitars. Some will say the improved consistency has come at the cost of that elusive mojo. I don't buy it. Not that I turn up my nose at older models - sometimes they have some history behind them, or are unique to their time, like West St Ltds...

Well... I justbought it!!

The lady is at home now!!!

Polishing frets.

Cleaned and conditioned fretboard.

New strings d'addario NYXL 10-46

I'm I love!

Excuse me, any tips for pole screws in the pickups?, I usually shape the poles at same fretboard radius, not sure for this guitar what's the best setup.

Congratulations! I am sure you will enjoy it.

I never mess with pickup adjustments unless I hear something is off. Then I go by sound more than geometry.

Nice! Congrats.

Adjust the screws to balance out the sound, not match the radius of the fretboard. I find the G string is sometimes a little louder that the others and drop it, while listening. This is also why Fender went to staggered pole heights, I believe.

$weetne$$!!!!!! Congrats!!!
