    S2 C24+57/08=SG (not a pop quiz) ;-)

    Hey there, So, A bit of a follow up for everyone who has been so kind helping with pickup choices and what have you. I got my 57's, installed them covered - tuned up struck a chord... and was puzzled. None of the 'warmth' everyone talks about, instead VERY serious treble. Articulate and...

    57/08 covered or uncovered?

    Hi, Kind of an extension of a previous post but figured it's its own subject. I bought some 57/08s I'll be putting in my S2 - hopefully Monday. Looked around and saw that they made a 'special edition' S2 with uncovered 57's. Anyone know why they went uncovered? Is there something deeply...

    Original S2 pots replaced with core - question about treble

    So I ordered the core volume and push/pull tone pot from PRS HQ. Got and installed them today. Matched everything exactly - moved the resistors to the new tone, etc. The difference is startling. I haven't adjusted the pickups at all - I wanted to sort of A/B with the original, overseas...

    S2/SE pup magnet change - big difference

    Just wanted to share that, like many before, I changed out the magnets in my S2. I've been unable to pick new pups (too many good choices) and had previously ordered some A5's and A4's - which arrived today. Figured nothing to lose so put the 5 in the bridge and 4 in the neck. Pickups used to...

    Opened and saw this: What the hell is my wiring?

    My S2 C24 was my first 'good' guitar purchase. It plays like a dream but I've never been very happy with the sound. Seems kind of compressed or flat or something. Anyway, first time (months ago) I opened the back I was intimidated - and quickly closed it. Since then I've done many mods on my...

    Black Cherry stain to fix a scar? Can anyone help?

    Hi, I have a 2013 S2 C24 that I purchased recently. When it arrived I discovered it has a huge scar where the wood is raw. I contacted PRS about seeing if I could buy some stain to touch it up but they don't sell it and need $1200 for a refinish. So, that won't work. Does anyone have any...

    S2 Mods

    We already have a thread for SE mods but I haven't seen too many people talking about mods to S2 guitars. I'm thinking of doing some changes to my S2 Custom 24 but haven't done anything yet. So show me your S2 mods!

    From S2 to CE - is it worth it?

    I currently have an S2 Custom 24. I would love to get a core model one day but I just don't have that kind of money right now. I thought about selling the S2 and spending a little extra to get the new CE 24. Working my way towards a core model one day.... My question is: is it worth the extra...

    PRS S2 Custom 24 in Silverburst

    Does anybody else think Silverburst would be an awesome finish on an S2 Custom 24? I know there have been only a handful of PRS Guitars released in Silverburst but this seems like a winner to me. Come on Paul, please make it happen!

    S2 Pickups vs Core

    Hey everyone! I was just curious if anyone had compared the S2 pickups to their Core counterparts. For instance, I have an S2 Custom 24, which has the S2 HFS/VB set. I'm wondering if there would be much, if anything, to gain from upgrading to the core set. I play a lot of hard rock type...

    NGD - S2 Custom 24 + Blackstar

    Totally excited, such a sweet sounding PRS; love the build, S2 Custom 24 in Whale Blue. Also picked up a Blackstar HT-5R amp; gotta have that warm tube sound with this S2. And dug out an old Korg Pandora PX4 that I had picked up 10 years ago. Looking forward to getting back into playing again...
