I've got an SE Custom 24 I've had for a number of years now, and the only - ONLY - thing I dislike strongly about it is that when you sit with it, the ass-end of the guitar is so large that it likes to slide off my leg, and holding it against my body by force with my picking arm is not super fun. If not for that, the guitar is insane for the money. The finishes on those new sand-blasted models look amazing, though. Right up my alley.
