The PRS S2 Standard 22 is an American-made electric guitar designed as a workhorse 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 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 such as 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 compared to the Core series.

The name S2 stands for “Stevensville 2,” referring to the second manufacturing line created by PRS within their own facility. This series includes 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. Without a maple top, it offers a more understated character focused on the mahogany tone: prominent mids, warm sound, and a very responsive response suitable for both direct-to-amp playing and pedalboard use.

It’s a very attractive option for those wanting 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 touch of classic style that fits well in rock, blues, pop, and styles where tone takes precedence over extensive features.
