Consensus on PRS SE series.

Re: Consensus on PRS SE series.

Don't know if the great sound was more down to the orange tiny terror and Blackstar HT5 that I was playing it through, or me not being used to the response of p90's, but i tried a PRS SE one the other week and it felt amazing! Loved the neck on it and through those amps it sounded brilliant.

I do like a lot of the Korean guitars around that price range. On the whole I find them well made, a lot of the time well equipped as far as hardware goes. Every now and then you find one that just sings like magic aswell.

Easily the best guitars for their used price.

I did sell mine mostly because I had more expensive guitars doing a better job on the same thing. And the SE Soapbar models do not take U.S. made Soapbar pickups with the cover.

I had one of the original Santana SEs when they 1st came out. Change the tuners and pups and you have a real nice axe.

I have an SE One. I have installed an old Kent Armstrong hot P90 (c.12k Ohms, ceramic), an American push-pull pot and a set of "spare" PRS/Schaller wing collar locking machineheads that I wasn't using for anything.

This guitar does one thing but does it very well. :headbang:

I'd get one if they weren't so God-aweful ugly. If PRS can put their name on the peg head, why not make them LOOK like the US PRS? The SE logo is easily visible. Heck, go whole hog and throw on arched tops too. It's not like PRS handcarves their guitars. Just feed the info into the CNC machines and make it happen.
