About PRS S2 Guitars
PRS S2 guitars are a relative newcomer relative newcomer to the extensive PRS lineup. Formed in 2013, the S2 models effectively bridge the gap between the entry-level SE series and the top-end Core series, providing an ideal ‘sweet spot’ for those seeking authentic PRS feel and tone.
Standing for “Stevensville Line 2”, S2 guitars are made in the same factory as the vaunted PRS Core models, benefiting from the exceptional skill and attention to detail that’s poured into PRS’s flagship product.
In addition to their exemplary build quality, S2 guitars feature the same neck profiles (Pattern Regular, Pattern Thin, Pattern Vintage), scale lengths, and fretboard radius as their Core counterparts. Likewise, the wood used in their construction is sourced from the same quality stocks and is finished with a nitrocellulose coating to maximise resonance.
To keep costs down, the eponymous Stevensville Line 2 uses more mass-production methods to get a guitar that’s outstanding in value, but no less playable. Those include thinner and less figured bodies, slimmer maple veneers (or none), imported electronics, and multi-piece necks to speed up the assembly process.
The result is a stripped back instrument that has all the essentials: Inspiring tones, exceptional reliability from PRS-made hardware, and a stunning visual flair. It makes them the ideal tool for working musicians, providing the stellar PRS USA character and clarity, without any unnecessary expense.
