Paul Reed Smith S2 Standard 24 Satin - Midnight Metallic

This model is a favorite among gigging musicians and studio players who value substance over flash. With its all-mahogany construction, satin nitro finish, and vintage-inspired electronics, the S2 Standard 24 Satin delivers warm, articulate tone and effortless playability at a price that punches well above its weight.

Construction & Materials

• Body: Solid mahogany with an asymmetric bevel for ergonomic comfort and tonal warmth
• Neck: Mahogany with a scarf joint and PRS’s Pattern Thin carve—fast, sleek, and comfortable
• Fretboard: Rosewood with a 10" radius and PRS bird inlays
• Scale Length: 25" with 24 frets for full-range expression
• Finish: Satin nitrocellulose lacquer—thin and breathable, enhancing resonance and giving a broken-in feel

Electronics & Tonal Versatility

• Pickups: PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers—low-turn coils for vintage warmth, clear highs, and strong mids
• Controls: Master volume, push/pull tone control for coil-splitting, and a 5-way blade switch for expanded tonal options
• Sound Profile:

• Humbucker mode: full-bodied, punchy, and rich
• Coil-split mode: articulate, snappy, and clean
• Ideal for rock, blues, funk, indie, and fusion

Hardware & Reliability

• Bridge: PRS Patented Tremolo—smooth action with excellent tuning stability and tonal fidelity
• Tuners: PRS Phase III Locking Tuners with wing buttons and unplated brass shafts for enhanced tone transfer and quick string changes
• Nut: PRS synthetic nut for consistent intonation

✅ Why It Stands Out

• Resonance & Clarity: The satin nitro finish allows the mahogany body to breathe, resulting in open, lively tone—even unplugged
• Versatility: With coil-splitting and a 5-way switch, you get humbucker heft and single-coil sparkle in one guitar
• Durability: Built in Maryland, USA, with PRS’s renowned attention to detail and reliability
• Affordability: One of the most accessible PRS models without compromising tone or build quality

Whether you're demoing gear at Tone Tailors, laying down tracks, or playing live, the S2 Standard 24 Satin offers a no-nonsense platform that delivers night after night.
