The PRS S2 Standard 22 is an American-made electric guitar designed as a durable instrument for musicians seeking comfort, tone, and reliability. Its mahogany body with a set neck provides a warm, resonant response with good sustain, while the PRS 58/15 LT pickups deliver a clear, vintage, and balanced sound.

With 22 frets, a 25” scale length, PRS Patented Tremolo bridge, and a 5-position pickup selector, it is a straightforward, versatile PRS that’s easy to adapt for styles like rock, blues, pop, indie, or pedalboard-driven sounds.

Series S2

The PRS S2 series is manufactured in the United States at the PRS factory in Stevensville, Maryland. It is a range designed for guitarists seeking the character, comfort, and reliability of PRS with a more straightforward approach than the Core series.

The name S2 stands for “Stevensville 2,” referencing the second manufacturing line created by PRS within its own facility. This series features highly versatile models, from modern-cut guitars to more traditional options like the McCarty 594.

Our Opinion

The S2 Standard 22 is one of the most direct and practical PRS models in the S2 lineup. Since it lacks a maple top, it offers a more understated character focused on mahogany: prominent mids, warm sound, and a highly responsive tone suitable for both direct amp connection and pedal use.

It’s an excellent choice for those looking for an American PRS without the more luxurious finishes or complex configurations. The 22 frets, Pattern Regular neck, and 58/15 LT pickups make it comfortable, versatile, and with a classic vibe that suits rock, blues, pop, and styles where tone takes precedence over elaborate specs.
