My local music store is now carrying PRS guitars. Played a white, Korean made one with P-90 pickups. The model is the SE Soapbar II. The workmanship, finish, fretwork, feel and all around playability was nothing short of outstanding. Great action with no fret-buzz at all. I've been wanting to explore a P-90 equipt guitar and this is a definate possibility. But like all my other gear purchases, I believe in doing my homework before buying. Does anybody here have any experience with one of these? Any and all info is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Q's about Korean PRS with P-90's.
I have one, and you are correct, they are killer guitars for the price-point. IMO they actually didn't have the vintage P90 vibe that my Gibson soapbars did, so I put EMG P85's in it to turn it into a modern guitar. Look around, they pop up used fairly often for a few $$ less. I got my SE II in white for $400 shipped and it was still like new.
