I mentioned a few months ago that I was working on getting a used PRS Tremonti SE. Well, today I finally picked it up and it is SWEET! I've got a set of strap locks that I'm going to on and change the knobs to a knurled chrome and may do a little re-wiring. The previous owner was into heavy metal and had one of the tone pots removed and wired in a toggle switch to kill the sound between songs. (Apparently feedback was a problem. Imagine that - feedback and heavy metal - whoda thunk it....)...

Here are some pics:

Nice find, Ron! These Tremonti SE's are pretty dang good guitars, and can be had for a good price used.

If you ever want/need some adjustability at the bridge, check out the Hipshot Baby Grand bridge (http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar,_non-trem_tailpieces/Hipshot_Baby_Grand_Bridge.html) upgrade. There are other (http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar,_non-trem_tailpieces/Schroeder_Stoptail_Bridge.html) adjustable wrap-around replacements for another $30-$50, but these are pretty cool IMO. Then again, it may not need anything other than the stock one.
