Mira S2 semi with 12 gauge strings

[Paul Russell]

Hello to all on the forum

I've bought an S2 Mira, based on the reviews, and it's weight, as I have a shoulder/neck thing going on.
I play Jazz, and normally go 12-52 gauge strings. I've seen this asked a few times, but in the thread I was following, the OP never updated, so I thought I'd ask: Anyone had any problems running heavy strings on S2, SE etc?

Best,
Paul

The S2 has an adjustable stoptail, so other than widening the nut slots and a full setup with truss rod and intonation adjustments, you should be just fine.

Cheers vchizzle. Is the PRS truss rod heavy duty enough to carry that kind of load, do you think?

Of course.

Yeah, I use 11-60 tuned a step down. PRS have have some of the best truss rods in the biz imo.
