PRS S2 Standard 22 Metallic Midnight

The S2 Standard 22: PRS USA DNA Between SE and Core

Made in the United States, the S2 series occupies a strategic place in the PRS lineup: it sits between the SE models and the Core range, emphasizing the essential PRS craftsmanship (ergonomics, finishes, manufacturing consistency) with a performance-oriented approach. The S2 Standard 22 features the brand's iconic double-cut silhouette combined with all-mahogany luthiery, creating a high-end workhorse guitar designed for active musicians. The "Metallic Midnight" finish, a new 2026 color, adds a modern and elegant touch to an already classic design.

For Whom and Which Styles?

The PRS S2 Standard 22 is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a versatile, reliable, and inspiring electric guitar, equally suited for rehearsals, studio work, or live performance. Its balance makes it very comfortable in blues, rock, pop, indie, and fusion, with a response that perfectly supports saturation, modulation effects, and delays. It's also an excellent choice for players who like to control their tone via the guitar's volume, thanks to a dynamic response that remains clear and musical.

Sound

The mahogany body and neck duo delivers an immediately recognizable signature: full mids, slight natural compression, and generous sustain, ideal for solid riffs and singing leads. The asymmetrical carved top contributes to the overall feel of the instrument, combining playing comfort with a balanced response across the entire spectrum.

The PRS 58/15 LT pickups (bridge and neck) add precision and openness: clear highs without harshness, controlled lows, and present mids, perfect for transitioning from articulate cleans to expressive crunch. The 5-position selector broadens the palette, from full positions offering dense, solid tone to more open intermediate positions, very useful for arpeggios, funky-pop rhythms, or more "glassy" textures.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original setup, a 10-46 gauge string set is recommended. For practice and stage use, a comfortable strap and a stable guitar stand are perfectly suited to the solidbody format. For amp/pedal connections, a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable (straight or angled) is appropriate.
