    S2 10th anniversary or nee 24-08

    I am having a serious dilemma right now. I've wanted a PRS core for the longest time but can't seem to justify the price. So when an S2 with american pickups came along I was ecstatic! But I wasn't in position to buy the 10th anniversary model at the time nor was I in position when the new 2024...

    Do the CE24 or Custom 24 nut slots have to be filed for 11-56 gauge strings?

    Hi guys! I just ordered my first PRS CE24. I ordered from Sweetwater and they offer a basic setup option. I normally would do the whole setup on my own but, since I am moving up the string gauge from the factory 9s or 10s to 11-56 gauge strings, I assumed the nut slots would need to be filed a...

    CE24 vs S2 Custom 24

    Hi everyone, My name is Sean, and i'm new to this forum. I just bought a PRS CE24 and i'm wondering if I made the right choice. For some background, I mostly play metal, progressive metal (djent for those who prefer that name), hard rock, pop rock, and pop punk. But I play almost any style so...

    S2 Custom 24 vs S2 Standard 24 (satin/not satin)

    Given the recent changes in the S2 line, what is the difference now between an S2 Custom 24 and and S2 Standard 24 (Satin or not) besides the finishes? In particular do they have the same hardware and quality of manufacturing and which do you think will sound warmest?

    Sad New Guitar Day... As some of you may know, I missed out on a custom color purple S2 CU24 a while back, and have been jonesing since. When I stumbled on a Sparkle Deep Purple S2 CU24 35th, I jumped on it. Got a good deal from the mom&pop store. It arrived today, and as advertised it looks...

    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...

    Properly Fitting Case for S2 Custom (35th Anniversary series)

    Has anybody identified a properly fitting case for my new (and very nice) S2 Custom 35th Anniversary Model? It seems as though the multi-fit is not a good fit for the guitar, and I'd hate to have to make my own from a Pelican box. A guitar this nice deserves its own custom-fitted case!

    How is the S2 Custom 24 better than the SE?

    I'm contemplating replacing my 2002 Santana SE so looked into the current PRS line and saw the "new" S2 line which is supposed to sit between the SE and Core. That seemed perfect for me, and I almost decided to get an S2 Custom 24. But then I started to look at the specs a bit closer and I can't...

    S2 Custom 24 Pickguard

    Hi everyone. Happy to say I'm the proud new owner of a whale blue S2 custom. Couldn't be happier... unless... there was a gorgeous off-white pickguard, perhaps pearly-white, that was tastefully crafted to accentuate the beveled maple top. Wondering... anyone know of anyone who does pickguards...

    PRS CE 24 Semi-Hollow or S2 Custom 24 35th Anniversary

    Hoping to get some insights. I have an S2 Starla with Bigsby that I absolutely love. I am planning to add another PRS to my collection and debating between the S2 Custom 24 35th Anniversary Edition or the CE 24 Semi-Hollow. Both are stunning. I love the independent split switches on the 35th...

    S2 Custom 24 Hard Case

    Recently got an S2 Custom 24 and I am having trouble finding a hard case which fits properly. So far I've tried the top two I saw recommended online. First I tried the PRS Multi-fit Case. The guitar sat at an angle with the neck a couple inches higher than the rest. This made the headstock sit...

    NGD - S2 Custom 24 - Violin Amber Sunburst

    Couldn't pass up this beauty. It's only an S2, it shouldn't look this good. :) I debated getting it for awhile, I already have a SE Cu 24, but glad I did, it is an awesome guitar! Although they have the same pups (it seems), the S2 has a noticeably different sound than the SE. While the sounds...

    S2 Tuner: too sensitivity?

    Hi All, I got my S2 CU24 for few months from the factory (and i didn't change anything). One thing I think about is the tuner. When I twist the tuner a little bit, the pitch change a lot, much more sensitivity to my previous SE. Is it normal? or something wrong with the tuner or springs...

    S2 pickups vs 85/15 pickups ?

    Would it make a huge difference to put 85/15 pickups in my S2 Custom 24? Any other recommendations for replacement pickups for this guitar?

    Lollar pickups in an S2?

    Hello, I'm thinking about replacing the pickups in my S2 Custom 24. I was recently introduced to a strat with lollar pickups and I loved the sound, so I'm wondering how they would sound in my S2. Any recommendations for S2 replacement pickups? I play alternative, gospel, blues, rock... Thanks!
