The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Solid mahogany construction; 24-fret neck with PRS-quality playability; pickguard-mounted controls reduce visual clutter and alter tonal interaction; versatile electronics platform accommodates a range of pickup configurations; Charcoal Satin finish ages naturally without high-gloss maintenance demands.
Pairs seamlessly with standard single-coil or humbucker replacements if future modifications appeal. Mahogany requires humidity awareness. Strap locks recommended for gigging. No case included at this price point.
A guitar built for players who value substance over ornament. The S2 Standard 24 delivers PRS's proven design language at a more accessible price without cutting corners on construction or tonal foundation.

Bold. Classic. Gig Ready.
With its solid build and versatile electronics platform, the S2 Standard 24 is a true player’s guitar that handles as well as it sounds whether plugged straight into your amp or run through your pedal board.

The S2 Standard 24’s solid mahogany body and set neck give this guitar a distinctive resonance and powerful sustain, and when mahogany’s rich, round, warm tone meets the Maryland, USA-made PRS 58/15 LT pickups, there are plenty of clear highs and strong mids to be dialed in. The original PRS Standard, introduced in 1987, evolved from Paul Smith’s pre-factory all-mahogany guitars. Reimagined here for the S2 Series, the Standard 24 is gig-ready with a price tag to match.
