This seems the right moment for a restoration and maybe also a re-appreciation for this journey. I’ve had Misha’s S2 in storage for half a decade — acquired after he traded it back to me for his Reptile Spearfish 6-string. I’d not forgotten about the S2 guitar. Other paths had assumed priority.

Plus there were some lingering puzzles to solve.

Restoring the S2 was fascinating. My hands retained muscle memory, remembering familiar mechanisms. That part was easy. Rediscovering my thought process from more than a decade ago was the deeper spiritual aspect.

In so many ways the S2 is still ahead of its time. Simultaneously the ancestor of Wingspan — yet equal in an alternate parallel timeline.
