Photo quality isn't that great but you get the idea.
Vintage mahogany looking a bit like a nice old SG. But without neck dive or a wobbly neck!
Neck pickup is lovely, split sounds are lovely. Bridge pickup could do with a bit more treble bite so it will either get a Pearly Gates or I'll rip the whole lot out and put actives in it!
And, very important to me as I get older, only 6lb 9oz.
It was a bit of a punt as I had no idea what the "Pattern Regular" neck was like and I know I find the Wide Fat / Pattern neck a bit bit... and it turned out perfect. Really comfy neck indeed.
Tomorrow it will have some proper strings on it and set up for C-C. Maybe with the bridge getting blocked off depending on how I feel and whether I want to be able to swap to Drop B flat easily.

There you go.
Still too busy playing it. The neck is sublime.

I'm actually warming to the pickups now. I'll leave it a couple of weeks before I make my mind up

I have a little pot set aside for a floating fourth electric, an S2 is on the list along with a Gordon Smith.

Very cool. The satin finishes are very appealing, I wish I'd bought a Singlecut Standard Satin while they were available (there are still a few around, but it's a shame PRS discontinued them).
I can't quite make up my mind about the Pattern Regular neck. If I've been playing my Fenders with massive necks, the PRS necks feel too skinny, but recently I've been quite PRS-minded and I'm liking the S2 necks... whether they're too thin or not, the actual neck shape is very comfortable.
A good no-nonsense workmanlike all business instrument.
I know some people hate the birds, so my question is...if this model had birds instead of dots would you have bought it?

IMO, the Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special or Whole Lotta Humbucker models might be more appropriate.
I know what I’m doing.
