PRS Guitars has announced the introduction of three new S2 Standard Satin models as part of its 2016 new range.

The S2 Standard 22 Satin, S2 Standard 24 Satin, and S2 Singlecut Satin will now be offered in Charcoal, McCarty Tobacco, Vintage Cherry and Vintage Mahogany satin nitro finishes.

“If you look closely, there is no grain filler – PRS lets the nitro-based clear coat sink right into the wood.  It’s about as thin a finish as you could put on a guitar,” said PRS demonstrator and recording artist, Bryan Ewald. “The protective layer is about 1mm thick, which is just enough to protect the wood from moisture. There’s almost nothing choking the wood, so it produces an even more resonant guitar that sustains like crazy. And the satin finish gives a great, natural worn-in feel on the neck – it feels like it’s been played for years.”

S2 Standard models include the Standard 24 – a classic PRS reimagined for players who prefer a stripped-down approach to their music – the Standard 22, which goes in a more vintage direction but remains a bare-bones workhorse for the player who needs to cover a lot of ground and the Singlecut Standard, which boasts a classic single cutaway body shape and control layout of volume and tone controls for each pickup and a 3-way toggle pickup switch on the upper bout, giving players plenty of avenues to dial in flawless tone. Designed with the gigging musician in mind, the S2 Standard lineup can effortlessly go from high gain punk and metal to low, bassy blues, making these guitars a solid choice for players who prefer a straightforward approach to a variety of different musical styles.

As with all S2 Series instruments, the S2 Standard and new S2 Standard Satin models feature an all-mahogany body, pickguard mounted electronics, set mahogany necks, locking tuners, PRS quality manufacturing, PRS-designed pickups paired with push/pull tone controls, which give players access to authentic singlecoil sounds in addition to humbucker tones.

The new S2 Standard Satin models will have an RRP of £999/€1395

Other new additions to the PRS 2016 model lineup will include a new Private Stock Archtop model, pickup and color updates across Core models, and two new baritones and two new acoustic models in the SE line.
