Just arrived...honeymoon phase. 2014 S2 Custom 22 Semi-Hollow in Violin Amber. First impressions are extremely favorable - I had an early S2 Mira that I unloaded to help finance another purchase which I really dug. This betty fit and finish wise is ahead of my former Mira. There is no "S2 Haze" and although not as glassy as core models the finish on this really shines. Really nice grain on the back, neck and fretboard. Nice top, too - not the deepest flame, but very uniform for an S2. The S2 Customs are my least favorite in general of the S2 body shapes, but I really dig this with the f-hole and covered pups. It looks 'spensive. The Pattern Regular neck profile is just about perfect. #7s are low output (Bass = 7.5Ω Treble = 8.5Ω) with good clarity. Neck has alot of roundness to it (especially for a SH) and the bridge cuts well, and the splits on all positions sound very good. Compared to my 2000 chambered CU22 with DIIs (higher output) this sounds a little more open and fuller, and the semi-hollowness is a bit more overt with gain. Thank you Santa!
