Great guitar! Very versatile! It is now my Number One. Unlike previous SE's these new pickups sound great and have lots of character. Great cleans, they crunch really nice and when you throw distortion at them they shine on through. Driving a Bugera V22 1x12 for Blues, Country, and Classic Rock and a Bugera G5 Head matched to a Bugera 1x12 cab for heavier stuff. It's not a Tele, it's not a Strat, it's not a Les Paul. It has it's own special sound. Overall craftsmanship is outstanding. The "wide thin" neck is extremely comfortable and easy to play on. Frets are well finished. The bridge is very solid. The neck heel join might be a little off-putting to some folks, but the cut on the lower bout mitigates that somewhat. Can't comment on the stability of the vibrato bridge as I don't really use it, but the bridge and saddles are rather beefy, so sustain isn't lacking. Cosmetically this guitar is a standout (I have the Trampas Green). Bird inlays are nicely done and don't have that cheap look to them that I seem to remember from previous SE's. The new headstock logo, with Paul's signature prominently displayed, with a much smaller "SE" underneath add to the overall charm. This is a quality instrument at a great price.
