That's what makes the S2 Custom 24 such a workhorse of a PRS.

The 24-fret rosewood fingerboard gives you incredibly close razor-thin action that your fingers won't be able to pull themselves away from. This baby's neck profile is based on the same design Smith used for his late '80s necks, so you can expect the amazing playability that PRS guitars have become known for.

"PRS S2 Custom 24 from Zzounds!"

I have owned numerous guitars and included was an American made PRS years ago. Prior to this recent purchase of the S2, I purchased the new PRS SE about a year ago. I really wasn't expecting there to be that much difference between the two, but in terms of playability and sound - there is a huge difference!! The S2 is far superior!! Love Zzounds and their sales staff though there was one snag in the purchase... I asked if it came with a bag case (which I thought it did) but the salesperson didn't think so, so I purchased a mono case. When it shipped it came in a decent bag case and the mono case (which is outstanding) came in a separate box. No big deal as I would have wanted a better case for this guitar anyway.
