PRS has updated their S2 Series to now include USA-Made pickups and electronics – the same pickup models and electronics configurations and components as their Core guitars.
The S2 Series was originally introduced in 2013 and stood for “Stevensville 2”, a second manufacturing line that was created inside the PRS Stevensville, MD shop. Now the series got an upgrade because long story short, it’s a great line of guitars that people like and deserves more love.
“This just makes sense,” said Paul Reed Smith. “We have worked very diligently on pickups for the last several years and made big strides. To infuse the S2 Series with the life that comes with this kind of attention to detail was the next logical step for these instruments.”
The S2 Series now comes loaded with PRS’s renowned 85/15, 58/15 LT, and proprietary Narrowfield and TCI pickups – made right in PRS’s Maryland shop. The PRS S2 Series also comes with the same electronics as PRS Core instruments, including potentiometers with extreme audio tapers and other components with custom-designed features. Plus, all Maryland-made PRS electric instruments feature a nitrocellulose finish.
With thirteen model choices, the S2 Series features both variations on well-known PRS models (like the Custom 24 and McCarty 594) and also truly distinct model choices found only in S2 (like the S2 Vela, S2 Standard 22, and S2 McCarty 594 Thinline).
