PRS S2 Studio HSS
Anyone try out a PRS S2 Studio (HSS)? This was suppose to be a time-limited run in 2018.

You see mine is the Original Studio made in 2011 With Narrow fields. I compare mine to the S2 and was not as good I felt. Plus new ones cost less for a reason. |

They look like a good concept but doesn't seem like they're selling. I have a 2013 S2 Mira for home studio recording only. The coil tap makes it pretty versatile. Was thinking the new Studio w the HSS might add some more options with the Starla bridge pup and the trem.

What's the biggest difference(s) between the S2 and the Studio? Is it a satin finish?

My understanding is S2 is a line of mid-priced guitars made in the USA on the same assembly line in Stevensville, MD as the higher-end models; although some components are made in Korea, where the lower end SE series are made. Within the S2 line there have been various models over the years (Starla, Mira, Studio, etc.). These undergo changes from time-to-time.

If you're asking the difference between the S2 Studio and the 'non S2' Studio, they are quite different in specs and separated by about 8 years in release dates.

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.

I believe the core series 'Studio' guitars were around $4k new...even more with an ebony fingerboard or custom features.
