I think this is great! I actually bought the 10 year anniversary McCarty s2 a few months ago for the very reason it had the USA pickups ! Amazing playing guitar-my first PRS!

The S2 Semi Hollow Vela is an under the radar hidden gem in the PRS lineup. Plays so comfortably and is light as a feather

I bought a 2024 S2 Custom 24-08 a few weeks ago and I love it!🎸

Best PRS news of the year. I am so excited!

[Rpaterson]

I wish the narrowfield pickups were available for purchase.

Best thing for the S2, finally. Great guitars.

This might seem like a long shot but any plans for a s2 Santana model? Would buy it in a heartbeat

Incredible news. By far the best value on the market. Gibsons are close but PRS has the playability and quality over them. I jumped on the S2 McCarty 594 anniversary and I knew they were onto something with that. So happy everyone has the chance to get the core model sounds at an affordable price now. Thank you PRS!!!

that's amazing news always wanted a USA Custom 24 to gig with without worrying constantly about damaging it on gigs, now the S2 makes this possible.

The electronics upgrade makes a lot of sense. I love mine, usually you buy an S2 to upgrade the pickups but this things good to go as is.

Just got one of the new S2 guitars. Sold my SE. The S2 was much better in every way. It was nice to get such an upgrade and made the SE redundant.

That's awesome, but I wish I held out on my S2 594 a couple years later. It's all good I love the 57/08's I put in them, best teaching/gigging guitar I have ever owned!!!

Gotta love Paul. At the PRS clinic I have asked him almost all the questions :) He was very patient and he knew every little thing. My goal was to show how cables and how the capacitance is crucial in the electric guitar. He even knew how much pF per inch his braided cable has. I might have said how disappointing is that so other companies yes G I am looking at you and some cheaper models never use proper cable even though it is not that expensive. I am not claiming I have placed the seed of the idea :) Anyhow this is really big news. Now S2 are just bit thinner and bit different in the way they make the neck construction. A or two A's lower quality tops. But they are better than ever. They are at the level of some other more expensive models from other companies and they have higher yields and lower variation between the guitars. Now S2 Thin line standard 594 is as good as the Custom Shop SG and is more comfortable to.

My S2 Studio is one of my favorite guitars, even more so than my Core P22. I put an aftermarket Jim Wagner Darkburst in the bridge but left the middle and neck pickups stock. It rocks and is VERY acoustically resonant. I will say I love the stock pickups on my P22 though. I will never take those out of that guitar.

I wish my S2 had USA Pickups (goes off and sheds a tear 🥺)

[brianhester]

Bravo PRS . I guess all my emails worked🤪 230 bucks is a fair increase for the good stuff.

[Viewer]

When I bought my first PRS i was so taken back by the quality that I know own several and each time I get that same feeling of being genuinely surprise of quality over price... as most people say bang for your buck. Looking at that Vela model on this new series.... Tax time is here 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Psichlo]

I have always felt like the S2 line was a little peculiar. Offering what is marketed as a made in USA model with import pups and electronics always seemed kind of disingenuous. I would say that this makes the S2 line more value for the money, but like everything else these days, the price increase makes it more likely that people are going to either go SE and upgrade hardware, or go core. I am hard pressed to understand some of the decisions that PRS has made over the last few years; and as someone who owns a few core PRS's as well as a couple SE's, I can tell that the QC seems to be slipping a tad, at least on the SE line made in Indonesia compared to the Korean made models. While we're doing upgrades Paul, might I suggest that we do something simple like offer locking tuners on the SE line. I can't imagine that this would cost that much per model, and it would be a great QoL upgrade.

Getting closer to being able to purchase my “Wayne’s world”. Never had an electric but it’d be nice one day. You’re giving me hope to finally getting my own PRS.
