I’ve been looking for a new guitar for the last weeks.
I went to the UK guitar show but also decided to pop in to a couple of shops nearby (Fair Deal and GuitarGuitar).
I had my eye on a 2nd hand Charvel USA Style 2 with Floyd Rose but when it came to playing there were a couple of issues with it.
Was In GG and pick the PRS S2 up and really liked it - there was also a 2nd hand Dusty Waring which was also nice but I preferred the open pore finish as is very resonant and lovely to play acoustically.
The 85/15 LT pickups are nice sounding - I would prefer similar voicing but a little more output but nothing a boost can’t solve.
Setup was very good (rings out nicely, action good) and the term was set up to float (4 springs in back). I may put a vega term in it ( that was one of the ideas I had) but it performs really well as it is.
Overall I have to say these models seem to be very good value for the money (it was on sale but PRS always seem to be on sale).
