I’m super new to PRS (just got a S2 Custom Semi-Hollow) and primarily sit while playing. Now that I own a 22 fret model I’m super interested in a checking out a core (either 22 or 24). What is the difference in terms of where the neck is located while sitting between these two models? Does the 24 “jut out” a little more to the left for example or is the knee carve situated so that both necks land in the same location?
Difference in feel while sitting and playing different models?

24’s do feel a little different from 22’s but not by much.

I may be able to help with this.
I compared guitar numbers 2, 3 and 4 in the picture below.
By actual measurement the distance from the treble side of the nut to the deepest part
of the knee carve is about an inch longer on my 24 fret S2s than on my 22 fret S2 semi hollow.
The distance from the back of the bridge to the back strap button is greater on the 24 fret models.
The overall length of the 24 is just under an inch longer than the 22.
By measurement, the neck on the 24 "juts out" further.
and...
If I sit on a stool with my eyes closed, pick up the 2 guitars and strum an A major chord,
I find that my hands have landed on A major on the 22 and Bb major on the 24.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that the core 22 and 24 models will have similar differences.

Nice collection! That is the exactly the info I was looking for! Thank you so much. I just did a comparison with my Strat and found that the nut on the S2 lands about where the first fret is on the Strat and is maybe a 1/2" longer than the Les Paul (which makes sense because of the neck scale length). Now I'm thinking that the 24 fret Core/S2 will feel more familiar to me in terms of where the neck lands.
