It's a beauty! Bought it used at a great price.
The good: It resonates beautifully, and after a set-up, it plays equally as nice, I got the intonation lazer sharp, and tuning stability/nut couldn't be more perfect. Fit and finish is excellent.
The bad: UPS damaged it. Obviously dropped it pretty good and put a nice dent in it. It shipped in the gigbag, but seller could have done better packaging it! However, he's been cool, and Reverb stepped in since he bought protection, but it remains to be seen. I love it enough to keep it, for sure.
The other bad: pickups are god-awful. Bridge pickup is mud city, flabby, no definition, definitely not defined in any way, pure rubbish. Thankfully, I anticipated this going in owning past S2's, and got a Duncan Custom for the bridge, and a Pearly Gates for the neck.
