PRS has done it again with the beautiful looking and sounding S2 Special Semi-Hollow Electric. This is one of the latest models in the S2 series, which is also made in the USA. The S-2 features a combination of traits typically found only on top-of-the-line PRS guitars, making it a cut above the SE series. It also has a beautiful nitrocellulose finish, giving it a classic look and feel.
OUT OF THE BOX: Literally, the guitar ships in a thick box. Inside the heavy-duty box, the guitar is safely packed in a dense, black, and very protective PRS gig bag. In fact, these guitars are typically still in tune right off the bat.
The S2 Special features a pair of 58 / 15 LT humbuckers in the bass and treble positions and a PRS narrow-field pickup in the middle. These are the same pickups that come with the high-end core series guitars. Two miniconveniently placed coil-tap switches enable you to convert the humbuckers into single coils, offering a traditional Strat-like configuration.
