Members tweak'd Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 I've been wanting one of the SE 245 models ever since I played one a month or so ago in a local shop. But decided to hold out until the Marsden model was shipping. After finding a post here late Thursday night about stacking coupons at MF, I decided to take my chances on the quality of the top (I've seen some SE Singlecuts that were not so nice), because I could get it for $471 and change, shipped. Included are a few quick pics I took today on my lunch break at work. Only had a few minutes with it, but my initial feelings are certainly positive. The neck is great and I like the addition of neck binding on this model. Vintage style tuners seem to hold tune fine so far. Pickups are ok. Nothing to get excited about...but...I really like the Peter Green mods that this guitar has. Really useful neck and middle positions. I'll be redoing a couple of my LPs, I'm sure... Frontal nudity...I think I lucked out on the top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tweak'd Posted December 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Congrats! I made my Bernie thread a few days ago. She sounds as nice as she plays - enjoy! I saw your posts...you got a nice one too! Got her dialed in a bit more and this sweet little singlecut plays like a dream....I'm impressed. The guitar does not feel like any of the other SE models I've played and/or owned. Different feel... Love it.... Alot..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cbh5150 Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Woo hoo! Congrats! My SE245 arrived today, but I just got home from work, and won't have a chance to crack it open until at least tomorrow night . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tweak'd Posted December 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 I like the 245 version of the Singlecut ALOT better than the standard SCs. Thicker body makes for a fuller sound and I prefer the shorter scale in comparison to the original design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frankie pajamas Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 That looks great! Is there a very noticable difference between the regular LP scale and these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tweak'd Posted December 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 At 24.5", there's only a 1/4" difference. I played it quite a bit last night and I'd say it feels and plays more like an LP than the original scale length models. As I mentioned in a previous post, this has a totally different feel than any other PRS I've played, SC or not. Construction on the one I have is flawless. Really beautiful guitar...the best top I've seen on an SE model, as well. I certainly got lucky on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 3volved Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Tell me about it...I was up til 3am this morning with mine jamming on my RP155. First time in a long time I had to stop playing due to sore fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
