Just received a new S2 Mira last night and thought I'd quickly share my first impressions.
(Sorry I can't post pictures , unless someone can tell me how to from an iPad)(no computer)

Anyway I can compare this to my core custom 24 and my gibson SG for best comparisons.

Fit and finish, set up, action were all perfect. No flaws that I can see.

Neck: my core is pattern thin. I'm definitely prefer the thin, though I can go between different necks without much issue. This is the only part of this guitar giving me second thoughts. It has that feel of a large epiphone type neck. Kind of hard to explain, but feels like its hallow not solid.

Tone: compared to my SG the Mira is a lot clearer, less muddy at times and has way more options with the coil splits. Compared to my Core , it's pretty close but the Core is just perfect. But I didn't expect it to be better just different and it comes through in this regard.

I hope to have more time with it today to see if it's going to be a keeper.

If anyone has any questions please ask I'll do my best to answer.
 
Give yourself a little time with the neck carve. Sounds like the guitar is a winner!
 
Congrats. I agree with Les: take your time with the neck. Variety is the spice of life!

I use Photobucket. You can download the app and set up an account all with the iPad.

Nice looking fiddle. I've been eyeing one my self but think my next guitar will have an extra sing...
