PRS S2 Standard 22 Satin Electric Guitar, Charcoal

Full Description

Incredibly Stylish Satin Finish

The S2 Standard 22 Guitar features a stylish satin nitro finish, keeping the guitar lightweight while providing a stunning look. Satin provides a matte texture which is ideal for gigging guitarists as it won’t glare under stage lighting, and looks good on photographs compared to high-gloss. Standard PRS models all feature a high-gloss finish of approximately 9-10mm thick, however the PRS Satin Guitar has a 1mm thickness of satin for a more comfortable performance. In addition, this type of finish offers a more resonant guitar with warm and crisp tones.

Mahogany Body & Neck

Constructed from a mahogany body and neck with a set-in design, the PRS S2 Standard offers a warm and resonant tone with plenty of depth and grind. Mahogany is a medium to heavy wood, creating a strong and sturdy design that will stand up to the gigging musicians lifestyle. The neck’s set-in construction delivers an advanced sustain, as the increased contact between the neck and body allows vibrations to transfers easily between the neck heel and body.

Versatile 85/15 ‘’S’’ Humbuckers

The 85/15 ‘’S’’ humbuckers are modelled after the pickups Paul Reed Smith designed for the companies 30th anniversary, offering a beautiful amount of clarity with an extended high and low end. The pickups deliver a clear, defined tone which is mostly focused in the midrange, creating an incredibly honky, punchy tonal character with a nice, round attack. Dialling down the tone control won’t muddy its tone, instead offering a beautifully dark and articulate sound.

Push/Pull Coil Tap

Incorporating a push/pull coil tap control on the tone pot, the PRS guitar can produce a range of sounds and tones perfect for versatile guitarists. Simply push/pull the tone control to switch the pickup between crisp single-coil sounds and strong, punchy humbucker tones. The 3-way pickup selector is used to create amazing tones for a range of music styles.

PRS Guitars

Launched in 1985 by Paul Reed Smith, PRS guitars offer an alternative approach to achieving excellence. Their unique approach to the design and build of their guitars has found them a distinct sound that has become a hallmark for hard rock. The slightly wider necks are ideal for technical guitarists who require space while scaling the fretboard. As well as exceptional tone, PRS’ guitars have become famed for their stunningly intricate finishes. The bird inlays, distinctive colours and signature headstocks have inspired guitarists globally since their first production. The selection of ranges offer something to every style and budget. For guitarists looking for reliable and long lasting tone, PRS is an ideal choice.
