There’s something quietly special about the S2 Studio that doesn’t hit you all at once—it reveals itself the longer you play it. This 2018 PRS S2 Studio in McCarty Tobacco Sunburst is one of those guitars that feels instantly familiar, yet endlessly inspiring. It has that warm, smoky burst that looks classic under soft light and absolutely glows when it catches the gloss just right.
Condition-wise, it’s about as close to like-new as you’ll find. The front is beautifully glossy and clean, with only a few light scratches on the back from normal handling—nothing you’d ever notice unless you were actively hunting for them. It’s clearly been cared for, not abused, and it shows the moment you pick it up. The guitar is also impressively light, making it effortless to play for long sessions without fatigue.
What really sets this Studio apart is its unique pickup layout. It features PRS Narrowfield pickups in both the neck and middle positions, paired with a PRS humbucker in the bridge. The Narrowfields deliver a focused, articulate tone with more clarity and punch than a traditional single-coil, while staying dead quiet. The bridge humbucker brings the muscle—suggestive, warm, and expressive when you lean into it.The controls make this guitar even more versatile. It’s equipped with push/pull knobs, allowing you to access additional tonal options on the fly. Whether you’re chasing glassy cleans, edge-of-breakup textures, or thicker lead tones, this guitar covers an impressive amount of ground without ever feeling complicated. Also has locking tuners!
The neck feels smooth and fast in the hand, the frets are clean, and the setup is fully dialed in. Intonation is spot-on, action is comfortable, and it plays exactly how you expect a PRS to play—effortless, precise, and refined.
It comes with the original PRS gig bag, keeping everything original and complete.
Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and fully insured
