After a brief honeymoon period with the Silver Sky, I just found I wasn’t a fan. The pickups were too microphonic, and I couldn’t get the action to where I wanted (the same measurements as my Standard 22) without buzz. I DID like the neck shape and feel in general, though. Has anybody jumped...

Thanks, wasn’t sure if maybe the age made it a better or worse case.

Trying to get some opinions on if y'all would buy a Silver Sky SE with a small crack in the neck pocket. Seems to be a solid guitar otherwise, and I can't quite tell if it's a finish crack or through to the wood. It's about an eighth of an inch. Any thoughts?

this please!

Haha, my own. Just not sure I know what a mid scoop or mid heavy pickup sounds like?

Trying to dial in my tone/pedals/POD etc. for my new SE245 (IT's friggin' awesome BTW. I can't believe this thing is an import guitar, and I can NOT believe I bought it for $380.) Are the new 245 S pickups on the 2017/2018 models mid scooped or mid pushed? Anybody have a Treble Mid Bass measure...

Well! I'm going to go with the SE. Right now, with money being a bit tight, I think it's a safe bet. Plus later on, a great platform to mod. This russian dude's review helped: No clue what he's saying but it sounds awesome.

Yeah - it's tough. I guess maybe I like the S2 a little better? I just don't know if it's worth almost double.

Yes! I should mention I have played them both. I really can't decide. They are both good in their own merits. I'd say the S2 is probably a "better" guitar (whatever that means), but the SE is such a steal it's hard to turn down.

It's just hard to pass up an essentially new SE 245 for $380. He bought it off Sweetwater for over $600 not too long ago.

I was thinking about a PU change if I went the SE route. Not sure what the consensus is on these new 2018 SE pickups.

Looking at two options from a friend of mine who is looking to consolidate and get a core model: 1. Mint 2018 SE 245, $380 2. Slightly Used 2016 S2 Standard 22, $700 Which would you rather have and why?

Hello! I just picked up a DGT treble pickup second hand to put in my LP studio. Quick question on wiring. It has Black, Braided ground, and White. Is white only for tap? Can I tape it off? Thanks!

Looks just like my Tele... I'll get a DGT some day. I just couldn't pass up the S2 for $650. It should fill the PRS void for me for a bit until I can sock away some extra cash for the DGT.

Alright!! I decided on a less expensive option - just picked up a 2015 S2 Standard 22 for $650. I think it was a good deal - very clean. Will update with pics when it gets here!
