I don't see how. USA PRS guitars are well out of the budget of most guitarists, and making a solid budget line only earns the company more money, fans, and recognition. I have an SE, which I like very much, and it makes me more interested in a USA PRS than I ever was before.

Meh, SE's are alright. Obviously my SE doesn't hold a candle to my USA PRS, which now means that every time I pick one up, I think to myself 'huh...this is cute...'

IMO, for the price, there's lots of other great stuff out there.

Hell no, Lou!

Not only does the SE line provide them with a steady source of huge profits, it also introduces players to the brand. They've undoubtedly sold many more of their MIA guitars thanks to players hooked on the cheap versions wanting to upgrade to a "real" PRS at some point.

It doesn't hurt that the SE line matches or surpasses Squier and Epiphone in almost every way. And as an added bonus, I think they help keep the brand relavent(artist sig models, for instance).

My 245 hangs with anything I got in terms of QA. The pickups might be a little less than perfect, but they are better than epi or squire by a big margin, IMHO.
The SE's in my opnion are in the same range with the Squire CV's.
