PRS S2 Studio Lake Blue

The PRS S2 Studio is an electric guitar from the S2 series designed for players seeking a versatile, comfortable instrument with a broad tonal palette. Its combination of two Narrowfield pickups and a 58/15 LT humbucker allows for a wide range of sounds, from clear, defined tones with character to fuller tones suitable for rock, blues, pop, or live performances.

With a solid mahogany body and maple top, a set-in mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and PRS Tremolo, this guitar offers excellent balance for those wanting a single PRS capable of covering many musical styles without losing its identity.

S2 Series

The PRS S2 series is manufactured in the United States, at PRS's 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 their own factory. This series includes highly versatile models, from modern-cut guitars to more traditional options like the McCarty 594.

Our Opinion

The S2 Studio is one of those PRS models that works very well as a main guitar for players who need to cover multiple styles without switching instruments. The Narrowfield pickups provide a more defined and open sound compared to a traditional humbucker, while the 58/15 LT bridge pickup adds extra body for more punchy tones.

We find it particularly appealing for live or studio guitarists looking for a PRS made in the USA, with high-quality finishes and more versatile electronics than the typical two-humbucker setup.
