Upgraded Pickups Offer Sweet, Vintage-inspired Tone

Playing the PRS S2 Standard 22 solidbody electric guitar is a treat. The way its asymmetric bevel-cut mahogany double-cutaway shape hugs your body feels extremely comfortable, and its rosewood-capped Pattern Regular neck is a joy to wrap your hand around. Experience remarkable vintage sweetness, clarity, and extended tonal range, courtesy of the PRS S2 Standard 22's upgraded 58/15 "S" humbuckers. Create subtle, expressive nuances, or perform full dive-bombs while maintaining perfect intonation, by virtue of this guitar's vibrato bridge/tailpiece. The PRS S2 Standard 22 is a great-sounding, great-playing solidbody electric guitar.

PRS 58/15 "S" pickups offer remarkable clarity and extended tonal range

Playing your favorite licks through the PRS S2 Standard 22's covered 58/15 "S" pickups is a wonderful experience. That's because 58/15 "S" pickups are modeled after the 58/15 pickups Paul Reed Smith designed for PRS’s 30th Anniversary. From shimmering cleans to blistering high-gain tones, the clarity and extended tonal range provided by these pickups make the S2 Standard 22 the ideal workhorse guitar. A push-pull tone pot further fortifies your sonic arsenal with a range of spanky single-coil tones. At Sweetwater, we love the sweetened, vintage-inspired sound of 58/15 "S" humbuckers.

The PRS S2 series of guitars: extreme value

In their never-ending quest for guitar perfection, PRS has created the S2 series of guitars. These guitars were designed to give you all the tone and playability that the PRS Maryland factory is known for in an affordable, beautiful instrument. Key features of this series include PRS S2 locking tuners, custom-wound pickups, the PRS Pattern Regular neck shape, PRS bridge, and a hybrid gloss finish. The PRS S2 Standard 22 delivers amazing playability and big guitar tone at a killer price.

Pattern Regular profile neck feels great and plays smoothly

The PRS S2 Standard 22 gives you a Pattern Regular-profile mahogany neck fitted with a rosewood fretboard. A hallmark of PRS quality, neck shapes are, of course, critical to your playing experience. Perfected after years of prototyping, the Pattern Regular neck carve is based on Paul Reed Smith's original, pre-factory neck design — the same one used on instruments he built in the late '80s at PRS's Virginia Avenue location. You'll love the playability and feel of the PRS S2 Standard 22 electric guitar!

Rated 4.5/5

Only taking away half star due to the korean pickups

I love this guitar, the satin finish on the mahogany neck is probably my favorite in my collection. The intonation and setup was great right out the box. Tuning stability is top notch, even when using the tremolo bar heavy. I planned on getting a different guitar for tremolo work, and just have this so i had a US made PRS, but now this is my go to for whammy bar.

The only thing i didnt like was the pickups, they are the same Korean pickups from the SE models, and lack clarity in my opinion. Once I put a Railhammer Chisel bridge and SD Jazz neck, this thing is my everyday guitar now.
Rated 5/5

Made in Maryland QC is awesome

The only negative for this model is the pickups, they are the same ones from the SE Korean builds, but I knew that going in.

The neck of this guitar was perfect right out the box, I own about 8 other guitars and as much as I thought my other ones play great, this one is hands down the easiest to play. I also have a Fender Player Tele HH that plays great, but the PRS is better so the Fender's going to Reverb since it pretty much does the same things.

I did not get this guitar to use for the tremolo, but it really stays in tune. Once I put some 57/08s in it, this thing will be perfect.

*NOTE - the PRS strap buttons are bigger than normal, but the PRS brand straps seem to accommodate for that.

Well done

The fit and finish on this guitar is outstanding. Price comparable to an SG however workmanship is way over the top. Neck and frets are flawless. No buzz on the 5th that some have mentioned on other sites. The Korean pups sound pretty good but I am planning on dropping in some Pearly Gates.
Rated 5/5

Best of the bunch!

I have owned LOTS of electric guitars from all the big manufacturers and this is the best one I've had so far! The play-ability of this guitar is superb, it sounds awesome, the tremolo actually works, it is lightweight and it is comfortable! After getting this guitar I got rid of guitars that cost 3 times as much because I prefer this PRS. The funny thing about it is that I don't really even like the looks of this guitar very much but it taught me that looks aren't everything.
Music background: Hobbyist

You don't even have to play guitar to know that PRS instruments are in a league of their own. With their exquisitely figured tops and premium appointments, each PRS is a playable work of art. But it goes way deeper than the surface. Every time Paul visits Sweetwater, we get a deeper look at his amazing instruments. We've even hosted several PRS Custom Shop events, complete with Paul's personal Wood Library! Whether they're his most affordable SE electric guitars, top-quality acoustics, or amps, it's always amazing to see what PRS comes up with. What's more, we keep a ton of PRS guitars in our amazing Guitar Showroom, so the staff at Sweetwater can get hands on with all of their latest models. We'd love to tell you all about them.
