Going for an understated look.
This is my third S2 Satin (Standard -> 594 & Vela). I've owned 99 guitars over the years, and these just have the right feel for me (at the moment anyway).
I was looking for one with a little less glam when I sought this one out. I might build a custom pickguard in the future (thinking blued-steel or walnut colored wood), but this will do for now.
