So, there's a couple 2019 S2 stnd 22 models in white left over in a local guitar store the manager may let go for around $1000. They've been hanging there for forever and a day. They sport 85/15 S PUPs, and the finish appears to be poly instead of nitro. I've had in a my possession, for a short period, an S2 594 mccarty thinline, and a Vela, both of which had some QA issues. Some would blame this on covid, alright sounds fair.
Question is, is there any drawback to buying the older model S2s, they actually seem very solid build wise, and my thinking is perhaps I would have better luck with pre-covid built guitars. Only owning SEs prior, I'm not really schooled very well on the S2 line. I've seen models of the S2 stnd 22 / 24 with both uncovered 85/15s and covered 58/15s.
