Nice looking ...hows the quality????
Picked up this litte beauty today. £399! Over £250 off, beacuse they are promoting the new 2012 edition.
Lovely playing guitar, zebra humbuckers, 24 frets and a whammy bar. Sounds fab through the Fender Vibro Champ too.
Pics... You got it...
Last one is alongside my old faithful Telecaster.
Nice looking ...hows the quality????
Build quality is very nice, the fretboard is lovely, the neck radius just fat enough. Not as fat as the tele, which makes for a nice playing experience. I'd also never thought that .5 inch in scale length would make so much difference too. PRS really got the idea right. Stretchy chords are easier and the strings have more give under them for huge bends.
I'm really made up with it. The only thing I'm a little dissapointed about is the tuners - which while decent enough - need fine adjustment everytime the whammy is just touched.
The pickups have a lot of character and hold onto distorition and gain well. I was able to get some nice controlled feedback from her with a couple of 'squeelies' easily.
A very nice guitar at this price point, and with only £100 more expensive than my mexican tele, the quality difference is noticeable.
Very nice! I like the mildly flamed top.
HNGD!
sweet. Enjoy! dig the tuner too! Best 13$ I spent in a long time.

Get some lube into those nut slots and I'll bet you wont have to adjust your tuning very often.
I really like the looks of that guitar.

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
Congrats and enjoy!
Zebra pickups are perfect for the natural flame/rosewood combo.
Nothing is anything until it is written. After that, it's everything.
The sauce works great.Remember stirings will stretch at first so you will tune more often a few times.Most nuts are not slotted right so if the strings are binding take a very small thin file(they make files just for this) and slot the nut in a delicate manner!!! A pencil or graphite piece will work great for the nut.I use a pencil myself cause im an old fart but have wanted to try the nut sauce.................A graphtech nut will solve all!!!
Nice, nice guitar.
I have a mint PRS SE Singlecut Tremolo guitar in tobacco flame burst that is super nice and looks very similar in the finish. I got this mint SE for 200 dollars out the door.
I use powdered graphite in a small tube that you get at a hardware store for small change and it is a couple years I've had it without it running out.
Also, I installed "direct drop in replacement tuners" called "locking mini-Grovers. Sure enough they dropped right in with no reaming and fit perfectly. They are automatic locking with a cam inside that turns and presses against the string in the hole. You just turn the knob and they lock and tune up. They are way nicer tuners and they hold tune very well; they just work a lot better too, fine tuning and just plain turning them is smooth. Noticeable improvement over the stock ones.
I really like the stock pickups in my Singlecut. I think they rival some pickups costing a lot more. Those PRS SE's are nice guitars.
Congratulations.
That sounds really nice, Duffy.
Oh, and
