I have a handful of S2s and a Core all 22 fret Standard all Mahogany models, its my preference and today I received an SE Standard 22 hardtail for my upcoming NYC gigs etc... Definitely not the playability of the US Models but damn what a fun guitar to rip on and the pups are gonna be just fine for my purpose, Daves is moving these real cheap if anyone is interested...It comes with 9s and IM not sure about going up to 9.5s that I have on my others...Wide fat neck surprisingly comfortable by the way, anyone else own one of these??
