It’s a really good sign to me, if you played one, know you don’t need it, but still want one. I’m afraid if I get to play one, I’ll feel the same way.

You will. It’s a super fun guitar, and it provides a really amazing and original tone. The PRS D-style pickups are my favorite single coils.
I played the S2 studio back to back with my American Elite Strat (SSS). The S2 provides a broader frequency range of sound versus the Strat in every switch position. The Strat pickups (4th generation noiseless) have a much bigger mid-range cut than the S2. They’re also not quite as hot. The S2 pickups aren’t hot, but they push the amp more than the Strat pickups.
The ONLY reason I didn’t swap the Strat for the S2 Studio is the quack sounds I get out of the Strat in positions 2 and 4. This particular Strat RAELLY quacks. I definitely got some quack sounds from the S2 Studio, but the Strat is SO Stratty I can’t get that particular sound form a different guitar.
Overall I liked the S2 Studio better, but my Strat does the Strat sound far better. If I was limited to 1 or 2 guitars I’d go with the S2 Studio in a heartbeat.

Old thread here I know..Having an issue with my new S2 Studio. I get a very pronounced vibrating tone when I hit certain notes. If I put pressure on the pick guard, it diminishes. Seems like electronics or wiring vibrating in the cavity. Any other S2 owners getting this? Pretty frustrated and it makes the guitar useless for recording. I will be taking the pick guard off this weekend as a last resort.

I drank the PRS kool aid, and it was tasty!
Check the springs on the pickup. This was a problem I had on a tremonti SE Custom that had Mira pickups installed.

Do the vibrations become more apparent when you play up about the 12th fret and above on the bass side of the fretboard?
I will do that, thanks!
No. Particular "resonant" notes all over. For example hitting a note hard on the third fret second string (C). All the way up (again particular notes) all the way up the fretboard. Action is good, intonation is good.
If the foam doesnt help, I will make a video to demonstrate.

Mine came with a piece of foam in the cavity under the bridge pup.

I have had similar on a strat... seems to just be a resonant frequency that makes the pickup mounting screws or whatever vibrate. When you take the guard off maybe stick some foam padding under the pickups?

Ok. I was going to suggest pickup, heights which was an issue I had with a set of single coils that were adjusted too high.
Hope you get it sorted.
