I've just gotten really, really enamored with an S2 Custom 22 Semihollow – I didn't know there was such a thing, and apparently there isn't anymore – for a number of reasons, but perhaps most of all because it doesn't sound like a chambered guitar to me. It sounds semihollow in the old sense of the word, like center block and hollow wings.
I've been looking for the right 335-style guitar for the proverbial minute now and have only run into absurd prices (Gibson, Collings), guitars I can't play before buying them (Eastman, Heritage), and Russian Roulette QC (Epiphone), so I'm pretty geeked at seeing a Youtube reviewer plug an affordable PRS straight into a Deluxe Reverb reissue and come out sounding shockingly like Larry Carlton on The Royal Scam.
Has anyone had one of these short-lived S2 Semihollows? Was their brief lifespan any sort of warning sign? And what's up with the #7 pickup set, which has never crossed my radar even once before?
Thank you kindly –
