Sweetwater just did a price drop on all the S2 singlecut models???? Speculation??
I also saw that the McCarty models traded the phase III locking tuners for vintage keys. I get the vintage vibe, but I don't like it.

Forgot... maple neck, maple board PATTERN REGULAR neck. Just EXACTLY like my NF3!Maple neck/fretboard CE model with 57/08 bridge and two SS single coils. 5 way plus coil split on the bridge. Would make me forget about getting a Silver Sky for ever!
S2 Singlecuts aren't on the 2020 S2 product page - I suppose that means that all 4 S2 Singlecut models are gone for 2020.
So it's about getting a better split coil sound?
Or there might be new ones that aren't announced yet*. That kind of thing has happened before.

Not a lot of guitars in the 2020 lineup with full Artist package option...
With the popularity of Wood Library, I don't think the Artist Package option is as relevant any more.
It kinda is if you’re looking for something in particular. WL is great and all but, you’re stuck with whatever the dealer chooses.
So if I want a Gold Top Santana with a rosewood neck and an ebony fingerboard for instance, I gotta wait for a Japanese dealer to decide that’d be dope.
True, it definitely limits that ability for customers. But considering how long it takes them to turn orders around these days, I think it makes sense to eliminate some of the special-order demand. It's a tough position to be in; they are always balancing a mix of demand for options, turn-around time, price, and quality. We all know quality is top of the pyramid, but they have to make hard decisions on the rest.

Please let this be the case!!!! S2 singlecut semi hollow in Burnt Amber Burst and 58/15 "S" pups, and I will order as soon as they go on sale!

I ordered a guitar, non-10-top, specifically because the AP upgrade, as a premium to the 10-top, would put the guitar into a price range I couldn't justify, especially since the wood options were limited on that particular model. So I'd rather have a guitar I can play, not feel too paranoid about the finish, and have enough cash left over for another half of a guitar (or a bargain used core).Yeah, coupled with the fact that WL runs have the option of 10-tops or Artist tops, APs sort of losing it's appeal imo.
Since its introduction in 2012, surprised to see there hasn't been any tweaks/updates?

Other than the AP standard specs (ebony fretboard, green abalone inlays and gold hardware), WL is much more enticing given the wide range of variety of selections and combinations which bring it closer to PS level than AP can.
