    Question for you PRS experts regarding neck sizes on the S2 Custom 24-08’s & S2 Custom 24’s..

    Seeing PRS go to the thin neck for the S2 this year was disappointing to me, too. I'm glad I got a 2021 S2 with the pattern regular neck. I have quite a few guitars, with various neck shapes, fretboard radii, and fret sizes, and the PRS pattern regular is the most comfortable to me. Maybe...

    PRS S2 Custom 22 Semi-hollowbody Pickup Wiring

    The plot thickens. I downloaded the SE Custom wiring (see https://d159anurvk4929.cloudfront.net/documents/se_customs_standards__wiring_schematics.pdf) and my S2 Custom is wired exactly like that. Furthermore, unlike the S2 wiring diagram I referenced in my original post, the SE wiring diagram...

    PRS S2 Custom 22 Semi-hollowbody Pickup Wiring

    Maybe I was too wordy. Here's the short version: Does anybody out there have the wiring for the 85/15 "S" pickups used in the 2021 S2 Customs? What are the red, black, green and white wires? Are the neck and bridge 85/15 "S" pickups the same? How should they be wired to the controls coming...

    PRS S2 Custom 22 Semi-hollowbody Pickup Wiring

    I bought a used PRS S2 Custom 22 Semi-hollowbody, made in 2021, and the pickups were wired as follows: Neck PU Green and White: soldered together but not connected to anything Neck PU Black: to the pickup selector switch Neck PU Red: to tone control chassis ground Bridge White: to the...

    NGD: S2 Custom Semi-hollowbody

    SinSir, thanks for the links. I had written PRS technical support. I sent a sound sample showing what I considered to be the problem with the tone pot-- I couldn't hear any difference until it got down to 3 or 4. Ryan Emmert of PRS said he thought it sounded in spec for an S2, but offered to...

    NGD: S2 Custom Semi-hollowbody

    SinSir: thank you for the suggestion. Where does one buy a core volume and tone pots? I don't see a parts store on the PRS website. Maybe I missed it?

    NGD: S2 Custom Semi-hollowbody

    I wrote PRS customer support about the pots, and they said I could ship it to them to check out. But I don't want to pay a bunch of money in shipping there and back if they're just going to tell me that the pots are working normally. I'd rather just replace the pots with better ones, and...

    NGD: S2 Custom Semi-hollowbody

    I bought a used S2 Custom Semi-hollowbody on Reverb. Listed as used but I couldn't find a scratch on it. I had an SE semi-hollowbody, which I liked the sound of, but the wide-thin neck wasn't for me. I wanted a little thicker neck, and the pattern regular neck of the S2 is more comfortable...

    S2 Custom 24 tone control

    Garrett, Thanks for the info. Would you recommend an audio taper push-pull pot as opposed to linear taper, assuming that's available? -Rob

    S2 Custom 24 tone control

    I just bought a used 2018 S2 Custom 24 on Reverb. I was disappointed to find the tone control didn't work well. Starting at 10 for maximum brightness, when I slowly turn it down, there is little or no drop in treble until you get to 2 or 3, when the treble is cut drastically. In short, it's...

    Anyway to access PRS previous year model info?

    Since the PRS website only shows the current year models, is there anyway to access info about the models from previous years? There are times when I'm considering buying a used PRS and the sellers don't always have complete or accurate information about the specs of the guitar.

    Swap 85/15?

    You probably already tried this, but when I play the bridge pickup, I roll down the tone knob a lot.

    Zack Myers pickups

    I believe most of the SE series (except the ZM) has a wide thin neck. My SE custom semi-hollowbody does. That's actually the only thing I don't like about the guitar. I'm looking into getting a PRS with a pattern regular neck, so it will be slightly more narrow and thicker than my SE.

    S2 Standard: 58/15 or 85/15 or #7 Pickups?

    littlebadboy: Thank you so much for the music sample. The music is beautiful! And, needless to say, lays to rest any hesitations I might have for the #7 pickups. Although I'm very intrigued by the 58/15 pickups, based on Going Modal's post.
