I loved the Les Paul. It had character. It had a great sound. But man, was she a moody *****.

I had it set up perfectly once.Then I had to put all my toys away because I was almost done with grad school and needed complete focus for the final push. 6 months later, I broke her out and she's a mess. Even after constant fiddling I could never her to play the same again. I am by no means a professional, but I can handle a setup. Still, getting her just right eluded me. I even brought her to my local music store so the awesome and gracious techs could give her a quick once over. No dice.

While waiting for them, I wandered around and stumbled upon the satin s2 22. I felt like a married man who meets a woman that reminds him of his most idealized recollections of his wife. The S2 played better than my Lester did on her best days. Needless to say, I'm thrilled.

I noticed that mine has pickup overs on it. All of the ones I have perused on line don't. I dig the covers, I'm just curious about the distinction.

Thanks all

Nice fine. Also, RE the pickups: When they were originally released, the S2 Standard 22s had covered #7 pickups. For 2017, they changed the pickups to open coil 85/15 S pickups. Sounds like you got one that still has the #7s. Great guitar nonetheless!

Thanks for the info. I didn't get a chance to try out the 85/15s. Any opinions on the pros/cons of #7's vs the 85/15 S pickups? Thanks
 
Congrats. I would like to see a picture of your new baby! There is a post in the top section of the general discussion forum that shows you how to do it. I doubt you are the 1st person on this forum who has sold an LP so they could buy a PRS ;)

Here she is! I'm really in love with the finish. Very pleasing to the touch. You almost feel like it was made by a passionate craftsman in the mountains of Italy or something!

My Corgi was meant to be protecting it for me. He's useless.

Love that finish! Looks like the pooch is ready to pounce!

Great guitar!! Congrats. I'm sure it won't let you down. And one of the cuter dog pictures you'll ever see!
