  • I have that guitar and I hate it. I wish it was a better guitar but it just isn't. It was too good to be true. I was so excited to get this guitar. This player is very talented. He could make a log with strings sound good. That's not the point. There are better guitars at this price point. I'm surprised when I see positive reviews.

  • Hmm, I would rather the pickups be separately splittable, via some mini-toggle switches, rather than the master push/pull knob. But hey, that's a simple and relatively non-invasive mod!

  • Here's the conundrum: I'd like to buy this guitar. I have a 07 McCarty, a USA strat, USA G&L ASAT, LP Trad, etc. All, save for the McCarty, have their own identity both aesthetically and sonically. The McCarty is probably the "best" of them all, but I can't close my eyes, have someone play 10 different guitars and think, "there's that PRS sound", when that guitar comes up. It sounds incredible, but it doesn't necessarily have a trademark sound of The LP, The Strat, the Tele. If I were to close my eyes and play them, i could identify the PRS instantly because of its high quality feel and finish. PRS has a trademark feel and look. Sound? Smooth and buttery, but not something that can't be replicated fairly closely elsewhere. And regardless of hum bucker sound or coil-tap, a PRS (Standard, Custom, etc) cannot be a dead ringer for an LP or Strat.
    So, to me, PRS are essentially making high-end, "luxury" (at least their core series) type guitars with no sonic character of their own.
    That's not a knock; just an observation. I still like them a lot, but it makes me think twice before plunking down $1,000+ on their entry USA models, or $3,000+ on their flagships when sound, expression, is what matters most to me musically.

  • This lad is a superb guitar player demonstrating a wonderful guitar, but he seems really uncomfortable doing this demo. Not a natural in front of the camera.

  • Change the title to PRS S2 Custom guitar review. It is NOT standard you are reviewing.
