Grab a used S2 standard 22...its my go 2 guitar...I know its not an SE from SW but I love the line...

Why don't you tell us how you really feel?? haha...I would just grab a used S2 something for the same price and be happy...

I do find the rosewood more comfortable ...

I would grab the guitar and give it a go...play with pickup height etc...but you'll know quickly if the stock pups aren't for you...swapping pups can be a fun rabbit hole...let us know what you decide...

The 85/15s are def boomier...my standard 22 with the Duncan's are def brighter but the winner is the BK mules in my third one...youll see an improvement but it wasn't drastic in mine tbh....I always grab the one with stock pups and are pleasantly suprised....do you play clean or with gain or...

Honestly I play with gain mostly and I have SD and BK pups in 2 of em and 1 is stock...its honestly not a huge improvement with the pup swaps IMO...the stock 85/15s pups actually have the most sizzle of my 3 standards...

Curious to hear how it turns out...the stock pups are def serviceable so any improvement would be killer...

A used S2 is the best bargain out there...I grabbed a standard 22 last year for under the price of a new SE and it came with BK mules in it to boot!!

Fantastic! Love my satin Vela...mines under 6lbs as well....rock that thing!!!

That's what I sold the 214....daves guitar shop had a bunch of PRS for sale so took a risk and am loving it....my Taylor needed a neck reset twice was a pain to maintain living in the NEast...

I love my PRS acoustic...I actually sold my Taylor in favor of it....underrated acoustics ...

I have 5 S2s at the moment...the earliest 2 that I grabbed almost 10 years now, both needed volume replacements ...the VR is killer guitar btw!

OP what I used to do is have my band play the drop D songs together so I only change the tuning once during my set...seems obvious but it make things easy...otherwise tremelno as mentioned...

After fret sprout...easy fix...I now have a bad switch, I know not a big deal but I'm getting fed up...my S2s and Core get most play time not sure I'm in a great headspace with it....thoughts?

I've always liked your Custom 22...you've posted it a few times its pure elegance...I have 3 standard 22s...one with a JB/59 and they're amazing guitars...
