The Next-gen Standard of 24-fret PRS Tone Crafting
Simply stated, playing the PRS S2 Standard 24 solidbody electric guitar is a treat. Comfort abounds, thanks to its asymmetrical bevel-cut mahogany double-cutaway shape that hugs your body. Meanwhile, its rosewood-capped Pattern Thin neck accommodates countless playing styles across its 25-inch scale, all with an unmatched in-hand feel. Experience remarkable vintage sweetness, clarity, and an extended tonal range courtesy of the S2 Standard 24’s US-made 58/15 LT humbuckers. Moreover, the S2 Standard 24 is equipped with a rock-solid PRS tremolo for maximum expression, along with Phase III tuners culled from the company’s Core line. Acrylic Old School Birds fingerboard inlays, gleaming nickel hardware, and a metallic satin nitro finish further elevate the Paul Reed Smith S2 Standard 24. Whether you’re a seasoned PRS veteran or this is your first PRS instrument, everything you need to know is in the name: this instrument sets the new standard for 24-fret performance.

Malleable support for countless players
The PRS S2 Standard 24 features a Pattern Thin mahogany neck fitted with a rosewood fretboard. A hallmark of PRS quality, neck shapes are critical to your playing experience. Perfected after years of prototyping, the Pattern Thin neck carve is an updated version of the company’s traditional wide-thin neck style. The Pattern Thin neck shape is fast and comfortable — ideal for players with smaller hands or guitarists who use classical left-hand positioning, pivoting with their thumb on the back of the neck. With a 10-inch fingerboard radius, 24 nickel frets, and a 25-inch scale, the S2 Standard 24 skillfully weaves comfort, speed, and accessibility into a multifaceted axe, enhancing your opportunities to deploy its distinctive sonic character.
Ear-grabbing US-made pickups
Playing your favorite licks through the S2 Standard 24’s covered 58/15 LT pickups immediately imbues the guitar’s complex tonewood composition with a masterful mix of vintage-inspired hues and contemporary articulation. Like the S series pickups before them, these 58/15 LT humbuckers 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 have Sweetwater’s guitarists in agreement: the S2 Standard 24 is the ideal, powerful workhorse guitar.
First-class hardware
You’ll appreciate the extreme pride PRS takes in their guitars, which is evident in every inch of the S2 Standard 24. Take its PRS patented tremolo, for example. This superior design provides intonation and tuning stability on par with a hardtail bridge while also equipping you with the expressive capabilities of a traditional vibrato. Beyond that, this tremolo transfers every vibrational nuance from your strings to the guitar’s wood. You’ll also appreciate the S2 Standard 24’s Phase III tuners — the same ones introduced on PRS’s Core models in 2020 — featuring high-tolerance pegs, stunning wing buttons, an open back, and a closed housing.
