PRS Standard 24 S2 Scarlet Sunburst

A Standard Born in 1987, Reinvented for the S2 Series

The original PRS Standard, launched in 1987, draws inspiration from the all-mahogany guitars built by Paul Reed Smith: a clean design focused on essentials, with a lively acoustic response. The S2 Standard 24 carries this DNA forward, adapting it to the S2 philosophy: a stage-ready guitar with a sleek look (electronics on pickguard) and formidable efficiency. In 2024, PRS evolves the S2 line with pickups and electronics made in the USA, further enhancing the sonic identity and perceived quality of this series.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The PRS S2 Standard 24 is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a reliable, expressive electric guitar capable of covering a wide musical spectrum. Thanks to its 24 frets and vibrato, it excels in rock, pop, fusion, modern blues, and alternative, both live through an amp and within a pedalboard setup. It's an excellent choice for those looking for a "plug and play" guitar without sacrificing nuance.

Sound

The combination of a mahogany body and set mahogany neck provides a naturally warm tonal foundation, with full low-mids and pronounced sustain. The asymmetrical carved top contributes to the resonance feel and playing comfort. The PRS 58/15 LT pickups (treble and bass) deliver a balanced palette: clear and defined highs, present mids, and firm bass, ideal for maintaining articulation in both saturated and clean tones. With the 5-way selector, you can quickly switch from a powerful humbucker to finer, more nuanced combinations, perfect for precise rhythms and singing leads.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This guitar is strung with 10-46 gauge strings: if you want to maintain the original feel and balance (tension, vibrato, intonation), it's best to choose the same gauge when replacing strings. It comes with a Gig Bag, convenient for daily transport.
