I should have been clearer. I was asking about the S2 and the S2 Studio.

The S2 Studio is a bit more of a budget offering; they all seem to be painted, so I don't imagine that the wood selection is anything to write home about. Really, the main similarity is the 'Narrow-Field' pickups in the bridge & center position. I'm sure these are decent enough axes as far as that goes, but can't really be compared to the earlier "Studio" core series Paul Reed Smith.
Thanks Max. I take it the S2 Studios are less expensive than the S2s?
