Critic Reviews

PRS S2 Singlecut Semi-Hollow review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The PRS S2 Singlecut Semi-Hollow impresses with its versatile sound, excellent build quality, and familiar PRS tuning stability. Its lightweight design enhances playability, making it suitable for various genres like classic and alt-rock. However, its neck pickup can sound a bit cloudy, and it doesn’t quite reach the tonal precision of PRS’s core-line instruments. Despite this, the guitar offers a distinctive semi-hollow character and performs well in live settings. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking a well-built, gig-ready instrument with a classic semi-hollow vibe.

Simply Incredible!

I have this guitar in the Whale Blue finish, I named her Bermuda. Like any PRS she sounds amazing, feels even better, and her tuning stability cannot be matched. At the time I bought her I had just sold a 2016 Gibson Les Paul Standard T w/ Goldtop because I hated it. I didn't have quite enough for a core model but I knew that the S2's were also American made. Best decision I have ever made. I will own a core soon enough but this thing is my beautiful work horse and I will never part with it!

Modified PRS S2 Singlecut Semihollow

This wicked unit is named: Ann Margaret because she's red and curvy, and has quite a set of lungs on her. She was an 8 pound 11 oz. baby, almost a full pound more than her 3 siblings in the store. She was modified right out of the box with a set of Bare Knuckle pickups: a Mule in the neck, and an Emerald in the bridge, which was installed backwards to give some serious quack. I removed Paul's volume knobs and replaced them with Bourns push-pulls and have each pup capable of series, parallel, coil-split, and when the neck volume pot is pulled with the 3-way in the bridge position, she goes into a mode where the Mule signal is fed into the Emerald out of phase. She can elicit sounds from a Harpsichord to a surfer axe, to smooth mellow jazz machine, to rock monster with sustain out the wazoo.

"I play a S2 Singlecut Semi-Hollow in Antique White. For many years, I only played acoustic guitars and am almost exclusively a fingerpicker. I was looking for something that would cleanly translate the sound of my picking style but be more adaptable, sonically, because of the innate nature of an electric guitar."
