I've owned close to 20 core PRSi over the years, but I honestly think this S2 might be one of the best playing/sounding! Resonant, woody, and fat but chimey. Didn't even need to change the pickups, but did make some (mostly) cosmetic changes: PRS white pickup rings (yes the core rings fit the S2s), custom truss rod cover, signed back plate, and trem blocked with a slab of mahogany..now liking it even more! roud::rock:
