PRS Guitars has significantly upgraded its popular S2 Series with the inclusion of USA-made PRS pickups and electronics.
2024 PRS S2 Series
These 2024 PRS S2 Series now use the same premium components in PRS’s acclaimed Core guitar line. The Stevensville, Maryland-based company introduced the S2 Series in 2013 as a more affordable option, but now it boasts even more of that coveted PRS quality.
What’s the Big Deal About this PRS S2 Upgrade?
“We’ve made great progress with our pickups recently, and it’s the right time to bring that to the S2 Series,” commented Paul Reed Smith.
This change means S2 guitars are now equipped with top-notch PRS pickups like the 85/15, 58/15 LT, Narrowfield, and TCI models – all crafted in-house. S2 guitars will also feature electronic components identical to core models, ensuring superior reliability and tonal control.
Nitro Finishes
And like all Maryland-produced PRS electrics, the S2 Series benefits from a classic nitrocellulose finish for enhanced resonance and a vintage feel. This finish is thin, allowing the guitars to have a resonant, organic tone.
Which Models are in the PRS S2 Series?
The diverse S2 Series boasts thirteen models. You’ll find familiar PRS classics like the Custom 24 and McCarty 594 and unique S2-exclusive designs such as the Vela, Standard 22, and McCarty 594 Thinline.
Guitar Bomb Verdict
A nice upgrade for the USA-built line and one we are sure will be welcomed by most guitarists.
