The S2 Studio is the S2 line's single-single-humbucker guitar. Two PRS Narrowfield pickups sit in the bass and middle positions with a 58/15 LT humbucker in the treble position, on a maple-topped mahogany body with the asymmetric bevel carve. The set mahogany neck has 22 frets on a 25" scale, the Pattern Regular carve and "Old School" Birds on rosewood.
Pattern Regular is a fuller neck than Pattern Thin, 27/32" deep at the first fret and 59/64" at the twelfth, so there's more wood in the hand than on the S2 Custom models. PRS credits the Narrowfields with punchy single-coil sounds and scooped vintage tones, with the 58/15 LT bringing the push of a humbucker at the bridge. A 5-way blade, one volume and a push/pull tone control run the electronics, and the PRS Patented Tremolo and Phase III Locking Tuners take care of the hardware.
The Studio suits a player who spends most of a set on single-coil sounds but wants a humbucker ready for the heavier songs. Compare it with the S2 Special Semi-Hollow, which shares the middle Narrowfield and the Pattern Regular neck but puts a 58/15 LT at each end of a semi-hollow body. Our pick is Vintage Natural, which shows off the maple and sits well with the old-school birds.
