They're not the same. The S2 is an evolution of the original Series II. The Series II had a full length carbon through neck with the wooden body wings glued directly to the neck, and a 2 band EQ. The S2 has a carbon neck that stops at the bridge pickup and is surrounded by a wooden 'tone block' to which the body wings are connected. The S2 has a mid control in addition to the bass and treble.

The neck profiles are also very different. The earlier Series II has a rounder neck profile compared with the shallower profile on the S2. The pickups are also different. The Series II had Kent Armstrong derived units whilst the current S2 had Status' own units. There are also significant differences in bridge units, with monorail units on the later model and a solid brass unit on the earlier series II. The Series II was also only made in headless versions, in both 4 and 5 strings. The S2 is available headed or headless, with different string spacing, with or without bendwell etc etc.
