Talk me out of this one gang...S2 SC Semi-Hollow

[DogPhishHead]

I've had a sweet spot for the S2 singlecuts since they first appeared...stupid me played a used one at NStuff Music 5 or so years ago and I couldn't believe the sustain it had and the depth of tone, from a little Blues Jr...plus the neck felt like a silk glove...but I passed as I was being "financially responsible" at the time.

I have a great 2011 Smokeburst McCarty now (and a strat)...but the want for the single cut look and something semi-hollow still haunts me. I stumbled upon this one will doing some 'net window shopping. used 2017 Elephant Gray (looks very black to me) Semi-Hollow. It's a sexy beast, imho.... So, too much overlap in tone with my McCarty ? I dig the idea of the split coil option via two separate tone knobs.

So folks...give me the pros and cons (I was thinking of the SE Hollowbody Standard, but I'm not sure it's something I'd dig.

You want me to talk you outta THAT?!!???
Ain't gonna happen.

Other things I'll never say:
Don't go out with the prom queen just cuz she asked you!
Take a free Lambo? Forget it!

You want us to talk you out of buying a guitar? Bwahaha! We're the worst...um, best enablers on the net. Overlap, smolderlap, you should definitely buy that thing, it's freaking sweet!

I had a 2016, sold it, wish I had it back. So I got nothing for you. Enjoy it!

Cons - Its not mine
Pros - Single Cut Semi Hollow and being an S2 reasonable $$$

 

[Fro]

OK. I’ll give it a shot.
Don’t buy it.


That’s all I got.

I bought one a couple of years ago so I can't give you any reason to wimp out. You're barking up the wrong tree buddy

Well...how about an S2 594?

Well...how about an S2 594?

Yeah, prior to today, no way I'd try to talk you out of that. Today... I'd probably have to pass even though I'm sure it's good. S2 594 FTW!

 

[Jo-]

Hmmm that or a SE HB Std... I say.. just get both?

[WA Paul]

S2 594, because the pattern vintage neck carve is THAT GOOD

 

[bodia]

You need a semi hollow. Your life will be incomplete, and your sound will be as well. The PRS Gods have placed this specimen in front of your eyes for a reason. It is kismet. The universe is reaching out to you. (Thank me later)
