Product Description

PRS have announced the brand new S2 Studio to add to their lineup. This guitar is based on the S2 Standard with it’s Mahogany body, 22 frets and body shape but features an interesting pickup configuration.

The pickup config is HSS which is a popular tried and tested formula but the S2 Studio has the Starla bridge pickup which has a TV Jones-esque mid-range. It sounds great under a bit of gain and retains plenty of clarity but isn’t what you’d call a ‘powerful’ humbucker metal pickup. Though it definitely has a bit of a kick when you crank the volume up!

You’ve then got a Type-D Singlecoil pickup in the middle and neck position. These pickups were used in the PRS Vela and proved to be an absolute hit. They’ve got the chime and brightness of a singlecoil with bass response in spades. Perfect for rhythm players or anyone after that S-type sound.

Lastly, you’ve got a PRS classic tremolo to give you an incredibly versatile instrument that truly can handle any style of music thrown at it. With the 5-way selector and all of those pickup sounds at your fingertips, this could easily be your ‘desert island’ guitar.

Here's what PRS say about the S2 Studio

The S2 Studio takes the Standard 22 platform into new sonic territory with a single/single/hum pickup configuration and updated switching system.

This versatile setup allows for a whole new scope of sounds that are only possible with a three pickup guitar, whether you’re looking for punchy singlecoils, vintage scooped tones, or the chunky kick of a bridge humbucker (that can still be split to singlecoils via the push/pull tone knob for a three single coil set up).

With seven combinations in all, the S2 Studio covers classic tones but maintains a unique voice making it a perfect “desert island” guitar.

Mr Kyle Cardno21st May 2019

Was really surprised with the tonal difference between pick up positions, really versatile. Great gig'n guitar is super light and easy to play, like most PRS guitars. Neck is closer to a strat, and the rolled edges are a nice touch.

As played by Danish Pete on youtube review - who new? What a fantastic guitar, incredibly resonant, and quietly understated. Well worth the time and travel to get to the store. An absolute beauty, buy one please!

This is my first PRS and it came perfectly set-up so the playing experience was great from the start. It a great looking guitar, very light (important to me as I have a weak back), and sounds beautiful - somewhat similar to a super-strat but with a bit more oomph and depth to the tone. Lovely guitar.
