Couldn't pass up this beauty. It's only an S2, it shouldn't look this good. 
I debated getting it for awhile, I already have a SE Cu 24, but glad I did, it is an awesome guitar! Although they have the same pups (it seems), the S2 has a noticeably different sound than the SE. While the sounds from the S2 are very similar to the SE, articulate, responsive and musical, the S2 is a bit warmer and tighter, with a richer and more refined sound. The SE is a bit more loose and edgy by comparison. Each guitar sounds great in its own way. The differences are hog neck, slightly different neck shape, brass shaft tuners, choice woods. This seems like a great example of the effect that the wood has on the tone, with all else being equal (pups, pots, switches). Definitely happy with this one, another wonderful PRS.
The SE just for kicks.
