PRS S2 Singlecut Standard Satin £999Both guitars have bridge pickups that are a
touch brash when you really dig in and there’s
definitely room for further improvement. However,
on balance, there’s an appealing simplicity here
which, if not quite a full-scale revolution, feels like a
step in the right direction for Gibson – especially
when you consider that the pricing is now more
controls, we strongly recommend playing one competitive, too.
and making up your own mind – this is a toneful,
lightweight Les Paul that’s less stressful to
throw on for a rehearsal or pub gig than its more
luxurious sibling.With its return to classic specs, this straight-ahead
8 /10 Standard will win friendsABOVE ĩĈiĈžÝƍń¤ƇÝōāÝŸā
