I’ve owned all but private stock in the world of PRS and I’d take an S2 over anything any day of the week. I particularly like the satin finished models the most. 

The feel great and wear very quickly. 

I've not seen one of the satin finished ones, which one do you have?

Is it satin on the neck or the body finish?

My US Elite strat is satin ice blue for the body and looks amazing, the neck is satin urethane and is silky smooth to play

Satin all over, felt great in the hand. 

Your Cu22 on the left is a thing of beauty. I noticed your s2 is a 24, do you notice any difference in feel or sound going between them? I’d guess neither one is better, just different. 

My PRS has a pattern thin, do you know how that compares to the S2 or new SE?

The pattern regular on the S2 is slightly thicker front to back than the thin. It’s very comfy. 

I haven’t played an SE in about 4 years so can’t help there sorry. 

Sadly all the guitars(and the amp) in the picture made way for a house move when my little one was born. 

I keenly await the day I can replace at least one of them.

I've seen S2's go for £600 second hand.

Saw a cool looking gold vela on ebay the other day, great colour. 

I’d probably prefer a custom 22 or 24 but it depends on what comes up. 

I have a peachy RG as a possible trade, see what happens

Anyone know if the neck shapes on S2s changed over time or have they always been pattern regular?

As far as I know they are all pattern regular and continue to be so.
