I have a number of guitars, but this is my first PRS. I had heard good things for many years about this fantastic luthier that made guitars for Carlos Santana. I'm a fan of the strat style body. Nice light weight. I have one other 24 fret neck guitar and kind of like it. Very impressed with the overall finish quality. About as nice as my Gibson Les Paul in build quality. Definitely worth the money. I settled on the green color, as it was the only one available for immediate shipment; but I wish I had had more patience. It's just not my favorite color, and that caused to not play it much at first. I think it just didn't look badass enough for me. However, after putting down my Gibson Les Paul Standard and picking the PRS up, I think it's my number two now. Very nice playability, with nice action. I'm a fan of AlterBridge and Mark Tremonti; and if PRS is good enough for him, and their lead singer it's good enough for me! I like the humbuckers; bridge has a nice dirty tone. I wish it had more adjustments than two for the pickups, but it's ok, as I mainly play on the bridge. I used to think that if it wasn't a Gibson or Fender, it wasn't the real deal; but I think a lot of that come from my old age. All my guitar heros from the 60's and 70's played them. Overall, I recommend this guitar.

I have owned numerous PRS and SE guitars over the last 5 years. The latest SE guitar models are a big improvement over the last few years of the SE line. I realy enjoy playing this guitar. The neck is smooth and a pleasure to play, the pickups sound pretty good throught everyone of my amps. I recommend this SE Line of guitars, I recommend trying one out and you will see what I mean. AA++

This guitar is GREAT. I ordered it from zZounds on a Thursday morning, and it was at my door on Friday afternoon. The fit and finish of this instrument is insane, especially for the price point. This guitar can hang right in there with instruments 3 time the price. Setup out of the box was spot on (for the 9-42 strings on it). This thing was even in tune right off the FedEx truck. The pickups sound fantastic, the neck is great. No sharp fret ends. Even the gig bag that comes with it is very high quality. I have seen videos of Paul Reed Smith himself using the SE gig bag to transport his Private Stock guitar to clinics and whatnot. I can not find a single thing that I dislike about this guitar so far.

Musical Background:

Semi professional bassist/guitarist, with about 15 years gigging experience.

Musical Style:

Rock, metal, punk, funk
