PRS 2018: Studio experience


Another alluring PRS S2 for 2018- the Studio. It's good to see an HSS pickup configuration this time but those are not new. The Starla humbucker had been around for some time & the Type-D singlecoil was there in the Vela. I'm for the latter but the former isn't my cup of tea strictly on grounds of distortion. It's a fine performer in clean mode, though. 

Despite the initial skeptic appraisal (which is unnecessary, I feel) the S2's non-American electronics didn't kill the instrument's reputation & since its introduction in 2013, there is a steady following from the pros & novices alike. This is what strict QC & distinguished goodwill do to performance standards. Looking forward to this model being here.
