I received this as a gift about one week ago. It is a very hard color to get at the moment. PRS S2 McCarty Thinline in antique white. Mine is brand new. The guitar is fantastic. Made in USA, perfect fit and finish. Plays awesome, sounds great. I just need more time to spend with it. I have been super busy.
Sounds excellent plugged into my Victoria 5112.
Here's a few stock images. I hope to take a few with my amp soon.

Very sexy. Great color. I’ve never played a PRS or a Strat style with humbuckers. How would you describe the sound?

I’ve never been a PRS guy but the guys over on TGP rave about any PRS with birds so they must be good! :)

I dig the color. Lots of PRS go for over the top flame which has sort of deadened the effect for me (at least on PRS) That makes the solid colors look special.

Congrats!

Looks quite elegant. I like that color, too. Works well with the birds. Congrats on a stunning guitar - and enjoy!

The humbuckers are very nice. Balanced. Capable. There is also a push pull coil split on each one. The split coil actually sounds like a single coil pup. So this makes a great palette of usable tones. This guitar is solid mahogany. No maple. Rosewood fretboard.

Nice! I’ve had coil tap/split on two electrics. When done right it can sound wonderful and provides a great onboard tone option.

This is done right. It shares many things with the core line. But a lot is first time PRS. And it weighs a bit over 6 pounds!

Congrats on your new axe!

I've been looking for a new solid body with humbuckers. Recently played a bunch at local Sam Ash. I found nothing under about $1,500 that sounded or really played very well. The PRS's included. When I got up to the price point of your new baby the PRS models they had were really nice.
