Reminiscent of 1950s humbuckers, the 58/15 "S" bridge and neck pickups featured on the PRS S2 Standard are not just any old recreations, they have been built with some serious innovation too. Sticking by PRS's philosophy of constantly reinventing and improving, these pickups have made musicians gasp in awe at their dynamic capabilities. They enrich the mid to high range frequencies, resulting in sparkling clean articulation that will make any note gleam beautifully. They also provide an exceptionally strong lower end response, so you know your bass will be projected with just as much power. These pickups allow you to perform with confidence knowing every note with shine through the mix, whether you're in the studio or playing a sold-out gig.
The underlying tone the pickups respond to is rich and full of resonance. Crafted from strong and beautiful mahogany, the body and neck of this guitar offer a gorgeous, deep and immersive sound that is perfect for a range of playing styles. By enhancing lower range frequencies, mahogany creates a truly captivating playing experience, guaranteed to mesmerise your audience. And it is practical too. Its immense sturdiness and durability mean it can withstand any aggressive performance. This is particularly beneficial for the neck; it needs such strength as it is the thinnest part of the guitar yet takes the most punishment. When you're on stage, you don’t want to be holding back. The PRS S2 Standard allows you to perform with no inhibitions at all.
The dazzling rosewood fretboard is not only visually impressive, but sounds beautiful too. It has a warm tone which teams well with mahogany and evens out any harsh frequencies so you can play with a balanced tone, making it extremely versatile in sound. It has a wonderful smooth finish, making it a super-fast fretboard designed for the ultimate sliding and fretting. Your epic solos will never sound the same again. Adding to its already remarkable list of qualities, rosewood can take any ferocious playing techniques thanks to its exceptional durability - just another means to take your performance to new heights.
