Watch out fellow dentists, there's a new guitarist in town with a cheaper version of your PRS Dragon II.
I humbly submit this video on behalf of working musicians who need a versatile guitar. The PRS S2 Custom 24 can cover every base and is comfortable enough to play on stage for hours. What more could a guy want?

Good honest discussion and review. I own a PRS Custom 24 35 Anniversary. Great guitar. Played in a cover band for a few shows and then the Pandemic. The audience taught me something. As long as you are in tune and good tempo on cover songs you don’t have to be perfect. In fact you don’t have sound like the perfect Strat or Lp or Tele. Be musical with some energy and they will love you. It is versatile enough. Btw love your playing. I visit for the playing not the gear review 💪🏽

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

Thanks so much. And totally agree. The nitpicking happens on the small niche of detail oriented guitar players. 99% of people just want to hear a good song! And thanks for the comments on the playing. Cheers!

@santiagolopezfernandez 2 года назад

Totally agree. I also play in a cover band and own the 35th anniversary. I'm selling my other guitars.

Well, well, well. I'm considering having a guitar built and came across these S2's, SE series from PRS. I've played a LP studio since the mid 90's and have loved her with all my heart! My dream guitar is kind of a tele shape with p90's and a nice trem (short scale neck). Higher end kit guitars and luthiers have proven to be difficult to find the right combo. I'm now considering the prs series because of the quality and "versatility" they offer. Your other pickup vids are glorious to showcase some alternatives for people! Just wanted to say thanks for the videos and tasty licks! It's nice to see someone "demo" the tones without the "look at me" deer in the headlights stare. Well done. Subscriber! Cheers!

@SuperdangerStudios Год назад

Hi Raserex, I like that idea for a guitar! Sounds like you might have to frankenstein that one by yourself though. The new SE guitars are insanely good. Just picked up the silver sky SE and it is a monster. The new SE 594 McCartys are out of this world too. Thanks for the sub and let me know how the guitar build goes! Best, Alex

@raserex Год назад

@@SuperdangerStudios So.....here we are. I ended up travelling to Sweetwater, and trying out 19 guitars. I spent the day trying out them all in my tournament of guitars! The one that I kept coming back to and held the #1 spot at the end of the day was a PRS S2 Standard 22! I ended up travelling 944 miles for this girl! I agree with you about the humbuckers after playing a couple shows. They're really laid back and have amazing character. I'll be looking for something with just a "bit" more growl though. You can see it here in a quick video I did with a couple guitar case comparisons. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ETTmCJY95BI.html . Thanks again sir for this video! Keep 'em coming! Cheers!

@benjoel6692 2 года назад

Excellent video. I always liked these, but a little out of range for me, $$ (I just play for fun, don't perform anymore) so when the SE Standard 24-08 just dropped at half the price I immediatly picked one up, and WOW!!!! If I had to go with only one guitar, this would be it! Again, thanks - great video!

@randyrandle399 Год назад

I know this post is older...BUT...just wanted to add a rave and a tip regarding this model. I love my S2 CU24 but it struggled to keep up with my Strat and Les Paul onstage...in a last attempt before selling it, I decided to gut the electronics and pickups. Now with Seymour Duncans and all new hand wired CTS signal path. The phase 2 lock tuners were already great so I kept them. I may swap trem block for brass in future, but already has massive sustain. I believe it now offers me more than core models at twivce the price...and holds it own on stage. A personal favorite now.

@SuperdangerStudios Год назад

Dude great to hear! Thanks for sharing. I am in the same boat. I like my 24 but I don’t love it. Gonna eventually upgrade the pups and possibly the wiring like you said. Happy to hear it’s working out good for you!

@Gechech 11 месяцев назад

Yo, did you hand-wire yourself or did you buy an upgraded kit? I'm really having issues with the response of the knobs

@bigdave8437 Год назад

Never bought a guitar without playing it 1st, until the pandemic, but that's how I bought my S2 35th anniversary custom 24. It played properly right out of the box, with the action, intonation etc. all spot on. A versatile guitar (also own a Gibson LP Standard, Fender HSS Strat, Godin Tele-style). I play them all, but the S2 is now my #1.

@SuperdangerStudios Год назад

Same here! Got the PRS sight unseen and it was pretty great from the beginning. Had some light intonation stuff but 5 minutes of measuring and it was perfect. Nice stable of guitars you got there. I’m pretty similar but have a sc245, 52 AVRI tele, and g&l legacy haha. We got the basics covered. Onto the offsets!

@ChuckChrome 2 года назад

Great playing and you offer some really good perspective. I think in general most guitars have a lot of tones that owners don't know about because they don't spend the time to twist knobs and actually use the pickup selector switch. Nothing wrong with having multiple guitars but I wonder how many have dumped a guitar just from being too lazy or uninformed to actually learn what it can do?

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

True! And I was one of those players for a long time. Only in the last 4 years have I really tried to coax diff tones out of my guitars. A whole new world. Cheers!

@scottdematteo 2 года назад

I agree that either the S2 Custom or the PRS Custom 24 are the most versatile guitars on the earth. I play them both in both the anniversary switching config and the 5-way blade, but either way, they are incredible. I have a custom 22 as well and bought for same reason you stated but my ears could not hear it, but still an awesome guitar.. Nice playing and great content.

@jonstout7635 2 года назад

Well done! Great demo of an S2 and of your skills as a player, and as a player with an ear for tone. I recently bought the S2 Standard 22 (gloss) because I was looking for versatility, something American made, a good price and quality. Having owned at least 5 high end PRS guitars, I knew the neck would feel comfortable and the frets would be great. The guitar offers a lot of options and is quite resonant. The 58/15 S pickups were not bad, but I needed more warmth and output, so I installed some Don Grosh humbuckers and now a great guitar is greater. (I am a Grosh fanatic.). S2 guitars are a great buy in $1400-$1900 price range. You are also right about the 22 frets giving you more bottom end with the neck pickup. Now I need to run through your video library for more great tips and playing.

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

Jon thank you for the kind words my friend. I need to try Grosh bc I keep hearing so many good things about them. I keep dreaming about a custom 22...ah well. Maybe in the future ill have one on hand.

@jonstout7635 2 года назад

@@SuperdangerStudios A friend from the Bay Area (now in Reno) told me about Grosh in 2006. He worked as a rep’ for Kaman and through his connections with store owners he got me my first Grosh. Just by taking hold of the neck when it arrived I knew it was something extraordinary. The best thing was finding out how friendly Don and everyone at his shop are. They treat you like family. That friend also sold me his '96 PRS Custom 22 back in 2001. A bargain for $1100. By the way, it was one of your videos that convinced me to purchase the Strymon Iridium. I am having a blast with it. No regrets!

@adlantian6334 2 года назад

Finally, a practical review from a professional gigging/session musician. Nothing wrong with being a one-person studio (I am one myself these days) but there are so many reviews from people obsessed with getting the "perfect" sound from 100 different pieces of gear in a super controlled environment. Touring as a hired gun is a vastly different situation. Edit: and holy shit that playing! We're not worthy, we are not worthy, we are not worthy...

@fahmic9357 2 года назад

PRS guitars are versatile because you can play slower genres and you can also shred on them. Not the fastest neck but they're decent for metal. Pickups are great for both distortion and clean. I've owned 3 of them so far and I've always loved them.

@K707OR30 Год назад

I agree the S2 line is awesome. I’m waiting to get a replacement for my CU24 because of weird nitro cracking (not checking) that happened all over the body in a matter of weeks after only a year and a half of ownership (22 production model) but I also have a single cut s2 McCarty and a thinline s2 McCarty. I love them all, they’re great guitars. I probably only really need the cu24 or the thinline in reality but whatever. You’re right, they don’t completely nail specific guitar tones to a T but it’s pretty cool to have one that convincingly does basically any sound you could want.

@SuperdangerStudios Год назад

The only one I think I really need right now is a hollowbody Vela. I played it for a little bit at the showroom and it blew me away. Was so expressive.

@msspi764 2 года назад

I have an older (2014) S2 Custom 24. It is versatile and close enough just as you say. I too thought I should have gotten a 22, but one decision per subject, the 24 is the electric that sits in the stand. BTW I think this has split, not tapped. I get a fair amount of hum when I split the coils.

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

I hear that. I think a 22 is in both of our futures haha. I keep watching the prices go up on Reverb. Ah well. And you are correct about the splitting. They just do some crazy thing where the volume difference is not very noticeable which is amazing for when you're on stage. Cheers! Alex

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

Oh man I really want the thinline! Tried one last month and loved it. The S2 line is full of hidden gems for sure. Even better pre-pandemic when they were all $300-$400 cheaper! I remember the standard 22 satin being like $899 or something. Should have picked one up. Cheers!

To get nerdy on the PRS coil splitting, they put a resistor between the 2 wires that connect the coils and ground. It basically results in a more pleasant sounding coil split, to my ears at least.

@SuperdangerStudios Год назад

I always wanted the standard 24. Remember when they are $900 new pre-pandemic??? I am kicking myself for sleeping on that. I wonder if the tonal difference is large enough since the standards are mounted on a fretboard instead of directly into the body? Congrats on your axes my friend.

Great job on the video. I'm trying to decide which PRS to buy. My choice is between the S2 Custom 24-08 and the Custom 24-08. I'm not sure if a $3,000 difference between the two justifies going for the Custom 24-08 Core. You're video gave me much needed information. Thanks.

My PRS SE Custom with SD JB's sounds amazing... It competes with my Gibson Trad with JBs using HB's. The split coil on the PRS sounds very decent too...much better than stock. My Asian and USA G&L's with MFDs sound great/better than anything a coil-tapped guitar can offer. Close enough? Perhaps. My Asian PRS is the easiest guitar to play...even easier than my SG. Thin neck, well made. Love your playing....gonna teach myself a few of your diddies.... Thanks!

OK on the country tone thing example, the PRS sounds more stratty than tele.....a middle position in a true tele pickup config sounds way different than a 2 position on a three single strat...strat is more quacky in my opinion...tele is more...how do I put it in words?...more bitey and way less quacky....the PRS in the mid position tapped on both is more quacky than a tele, and less quacky than a strat, and has a mid range smoothness IMO than neither a strat or a tele has...on the rock tone example the S2 has more clarity than the 245 PRS to my ears...I'm watching this because I found this S2 custom 24 for $999, but it's the model before yours that has the coil splits done by a push pull tone knob, so it doesn't have quite the tonal versatility yours does, but IMO, all the important tones are there with it, and I guess it could be modded for a price to be exactly like yours with the mini toggles...thanks for posting this!

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

haha I love your comparisons Rob and I totally agree. The Custom24 does a lot of things but not nearly as close as the original sound but also has a very unique sound profile. As for the 35th anniversary model I would say I hardly use the mini toggles for one single one humbucker in the middle position.

Ah man that is a good call. I haven’t seen a cu22 or 24 for less than 2800 in a long time so great job finding one! I’ll keep looking.

@shughy1 2 года назад

The cleans on the strat seem to have more sustain on higher frequencies, it feels like the PRS gets duller quicker

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

Agreed. And the strings are way older on the strat. I think that is one of the major differences in guitars is the pickups. Gonna put some fralins on the PRS and see how it goes. Maybe upgrade the bridge as well. Cheers!

Does it play Metal? Like Thrash, Death Metal? Some of the modern sounding as well?

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

Yes it can! I was in a punk metal band for a bit and used a different custom 24. It can hold drop C# no problem and has tons of clarity for solos/leads.

Talk about a "magnetic personality." This guy is almost enough to turn me gay. He obviously has a lot of street cred on this subject. I now feel like I could make a much more informed buying decision on an S2 (although I already have a core custom 24)

I like it, But a American Guitar with Import Pickups and Import Electronics, Is not a American Guitar to me. Might as well Buy and Mod a SE..

@SuperdangerStudios Год назад

Haha you’re absolutely right. I was nervous about the SE line bc I had tried some in the past and didn’t love them. But they are really good now. And the prices on the S2 line is so much higher than when I bought them. If I could do it again I’d do the exact thing you said. Give it a proper bridge and tuners, and some interesting PAF pups. Cheers!

@nickvillalon93 2 года назад

What color is that guitar?

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

I think its the tri-burst.

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

@Dyslexia Blogger Yes if I had to do it again I would buy the SE model and then upgrade the bridge, tuning pegs, and pickups. It would come out to the same cost as the S2 but would be superior in a number of ways. Hope this helps!

For the money, I'd get the SE 24-08!! Unfortunately, for me, I do NOT like the necks. Reminds me of an Ibanez and too thin.

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

I hear that. The SE 24-08 is a great deal and sounds pretty identical. I got this one on a deal but if I had to do it again I would probably get an SE. The necks on the new 24-08s are much beefier and feel a bit better in the hand. I agree, when they are too thin it really isnt very comfortable.

Im sorry dude I forgot to mention its the 35th anniversary option. As LFB said, not many left out there with this option, but in that respect, I would have rather had the normal switching option as I never use the switches in opposite settings for the middle position.

@SuperdangerStudios 2 года назад

Hey Adam, so sorry to hear that! I have noticed that certain PRS pickups arent to my liking at times when trying them out at the store. Have you tried raising the pickup height? Sometimes that can help. Sometimes even string choice can really make a big difference. I used slinkys for a while but recently changed back to daddario and now the PRS sounds so much better. Hope this helps.

I find the neck pick ups super muddy and unusable when any dirt is applied (light OD). It sounds decent when clean. I was debating on putting some Mules in it. Less hot. Love the weight. Comes in at just over 7 lbs and has sustain for days when unplugged. Agree with volume knob. Trying to figure out how to play it without hitting it.

@@SuperdangerStudios my friend got a 513 with custom color, so I can try it lucky 😃. I don’t know y PRS discontinued 513😭 Have you ever try 408, I think this one still be versatile in PRS serious. A guitarist in Hong Kong called GORO, he got a custom designed guitar(I forgot the brand), it got nearly every sounds a guitarist needs. It contain both humbucker and single coil sound. Also a sustainer on neck pickup and piezo on the bridge. You may find Hong Kong singer called Eason Chan’s live show. If you see a guitarist using a Flying V share guitar that is him.👍🏻
