Ok first off, I would like to thank Zzounds for even letting me get this caliber of guitar. The 12 installment payments, has opened doors for many musicians, including myself, to purchase such high-end instruments. Now, lets talk about this beauty of a guitar. She is beautiful and that's a fact. But I didn't buy this beauty on looks alone. I bought it for the versatility that is has. I love that you can use the tone knob (it's a push pull knob) for a single coil, or humbucker selector. That's a major plus, especially when you are looking for many different sounds. Pull it and you get a single coil, a nice thin strat sound from it! Push it and you get the full force of the S2 HFS pickups in the bridge and S2 Vintage Bass in the neck. Trust me when I say, that they are great for a heavy sounding guitar style or a thin twangy style that you are looking for.. They're crystal clear pickups! I play metal, rock, blues and whatever else comes out of my mind and these pups cover them all! Also, have in mind, that is has a pretty large diameter neck, which makes it comfortable for me. But others may not like it. Ok, now to the hardware. You have a nickel bridge which also has a tremolo system that lets you slide the tremolo bar in a out. No screwing required! I like that! Also, you get locking tuners, that has locking screws on the top. Be mindful of the locking screws, as they can come out while you are loosening them and drop somewhere to never be found again.. They also have a slot, for a flat-head screwdriver. Again, be very careful to not use too much force on them when tightening. They can easily sctratch up. Use a correct size screw-driver for them. The volume and tone pots are great and the three-way switch selector is solid. It has a pretty decent size know on it. For ease of switching your pickups. All in all, this guitar is THE best one I purchased so far and I own about 8 guitars now. I put this baby up against all of them and this PRS destroys them in the tone section. It even comes delivered with a high end gig bag and the guitar should be set up for you. So you shouldn't have to take it to get it set up, or set it up yourself. All in all, the guitar is perfect for me and I'm lucky that I get to pay only $100.00 bucks a month for it. It's well worth the money. You won't put her down, trust me!

First ZZounds made it easy, yall are top notch. The guitar is one of the best buys in the middle price range you can get. It's a 2500 dollar guitar wearing a 1400 dollar price tag. You can't be dissapointed with the axe. It does everything well, and the playability is better than some high dollar fender and gibsons I own. Outstanding job PRS

Musical Background:

played all kinds of music and even a studio owner at one point in my life.

Musical Style:

Modern Country at the moment, but roots in rock and 80s metal.

"PRS S2 Custom 24 30th Anniversarry"

First of all, I owned Fender Stratocasters, Gibson LPs and I love them for their unique sounds, I have been wanting to own PRS, so after watching the videos, I decided to purchase this one and I must say I'm totally impressed with its own unique tone that's totally different from my Strat and Gibson. The pickups are so amazingly high output that has dynamics depending how you strum it from clean to a growl even at a clean channel. The quality is top notch, from the hardware to paint finish. The value is absolutely great for the price. I would highly recommend this guitar for those looking for all around tone.

"My new number one"

I play modern country music and til now have been a Tele man. Don't get me wrong I still occasionally pick them up because you just can't replace that tele sound. With that being said this has become my number one for live use. It's beautiful, has a great sound in all positions with my rig, and plays like butter. Love this guitar! Overall I give it a 4.5 cause nothing's perfect, but this is close!
