    Got my s2 Standard 24 Satin today, and it's awesome!

    Thanks. That's interesting ahow the same pickups can sound good/bad in neck/bridge positions on different guitar. Also worth nothing, is consistency on these import pickups may not be that great, and one set perhaps could sound significantly different from another "same" set. Quick question...

    Well I figured it would effect the sound some, just surprised the pickup change alone was not enough. I thought trem upgrades more more for better tuning stability and trem responsiveness. I've never upgraded one.

    Why did you upgrade the trem? Just curious. Was there issues? I am having no tuning issues, or intonation or anything. AS far as pickups, I was thinking of 57/08’s originally but the 58/15s that it came with sound so good already to me. No need.

    Got my s2 Standard 24 Satin today, and it's awesome!

    Sharing pics on this site, is not the easiest, but here goes. This guitar and my SE Angelus ax20e acoustic are my 2 all time fav guitar purchases. The SE custom 24, I can probably live without. (but its not bad). The quality within price range of the SE acoustics seems to be far above the...

    Got my s2 Standard 24 Satin today, and it's awesome!

    I've been pretty happy with my SE custom, except for a few things. There was minor paint imperfections, Normal I guess for a made in indonesia guitar, the tone knob came slightly crooked. Turned out the stem holding the knob, came slightly bent, I don't know if its actaully bent or if it was...

    PRS SE ax20E vs PRS SE A40E

    And by the way I want to add that the Ax20e is fucking amazing. Like holy crap is it ever a pleasure to play, and it sounds so good. Like so so good. What a guitar!

    PRS SE ax20E vs PRS SE A40E

    Looks like they do indeed. I found this thread. https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/adding-locking-se-tuners.48176/

    PRS SE ax20E vs PRS SE A40E

    Do you know if the SE locking tuners would work on this guitar? I have them on my Custom 24 SE and love them. Plus I think it would look kind of bad ass on an acoustic and making string changes easy, (even if it's not "tradional"). Would they still be a direct drop in? Is this a stupid idea?

    PRS SE ax20E vs PRS SE A40E

    Ended up getting the X20e. All PRS acoustics are hard to get here, but i was lucky enough to get one off Reverb. It sounds (to me) much like a Taylor around the same price range, like Academy, or 114, 214 or something, but with a tad more low end, and it's own "prs sound" and better playability...

    PRS SE ax20E vs PRS SE A40E

    Does any body know what the difference between these two guitars are? All i can find is that the A40e has layered Ovangkol back and sides, and thex ax20e has layered Mahogany back and sides. Also, the X20e, has standard X bracing, vs hybrid bracing in the a40e. Also in the 2021 lineup, it...

    Upgraded SE Santana good buy?

    I ended up not getting it. My plan is to wait until I can make my way into a bigger city like Toronto, and buy a used S2 standard and actually get to try it first. I can probably get one of those for like $1000 CAD in the city. Living in a small town sucks for used stuff, and shipping is a...

    Upgraded SE Santana good buy?

    ITs in a different city, where my daughter happens to be right now, I wouldn't be able to try it myself, she would have to try it for me. I live in a small town, that never has anything cool lol. Im just not familiar with the dragon 2s that are on it.

    Upgraded SE Santana good buy?

    I found a used Sananta (older model I believe). Looks in good condition, I don't think it originally had coil split, but it was upgraded to have it, and with Dragon 2 pickups, coil split, and tuners. Asking, the equivalent, of $620 USD. Keep in mind, things a generally a little more pricey...

    Floating bridge adjustment for only 1/2 step down on custom 24 SE?

    Thanks dude. It seems like too much trouble though unless I'm going to stay in that tuning. I think I will just tune down my hardtail for now 1/2 step. Hopefully I can get away with not having to adjust anything on that one. When I get another guitar I'll have it set it up specifically for 1/2...

    Floating bridge adjustment for only 1/2 step down on custom 24 SE?

    First of all, I am not very experienced at all with guitar tinkering. Still learning. My guitar was setup for standard tuning, and I noticed, when I tune my Custom 24 SE down just 1/2 step, the floating bridge is no longer parallel at all. It still sounds and plays nice, tuning stability seems...
