Members key_daddy Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Interested in a single cut SE. Show pictures of whatever SE you got! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members clay sails Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Two things I like about this particular SE: The shorter scale length and the wide/fat neck carve. It is a killer, KILLER guitar. Never given me shit, always sounds good. Aside from bling, which it lacks, it holds its own fine against my USA PRS in terms of feel and sound. (I upgraded the pups) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members twisty571 Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 I have this 1 coming next week to keep at my office,found a place that makes custom PG so it maybe a dbl HB guitar soon. At the moment it's set up with fender wiring & pups. Not bad for $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TruSlice Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 A shot away in another thread, but what the hey: Probably not remotely like a true SE anymore, but it's been well-loved for the past 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PDbyS Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 The family. I'm in the process of adding another volume pot to the Santana. Where did you get that wrap around bridge? I haven't found one that can be intonated and has a low enough profile as the stock one. I think most wrap around bridges are made for Les Paul Juniors.

Members _pete_ Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 I've had three and they were all really good guitars. SE Singlecut- I added gold hardware but the pups were the stock ones and sounded perfect. SE EG- The stock pups were weak. Replaced with EMG SA set and made a new pickguard to relocate the knobs a bit. SE Santana- A poor man's CU22. I replaced all the parts with USA PRS parts. HFS & VB pups, Phase II tuners, nut, pots, caps, & switch. The stock pups on this one were very bad but I bought it used and I'm not positive they were the originals. Before and after headstock shots: The SE's are great guitars and killer modding platforms. The quality is superb and the fretwork and necks are far better than most other imports too IMO. They are hard to beat for a solid, versatile, gigging guitaer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HoobaStunk Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 I bought one of the PRS SE (SE = Student Edition) "Santana" models the first year they came out. I rather quickly noticed just how soft the wood was these were made from, as the body would ding real easily -- too easily in fact. A couple of years later, I traded it away for one of the revamped version 2 PRS SE models when they first came out, a Custom SE 22. These version 2 PRS SE models are better. The version 2 PRS SE models have been manufactured for 3 or 4 years now by a different company than the first company in Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you back that up? Every one I have seen has said the same thing on the back of the headstock. First year Santana SE: 2005 SE EG: A brand new SE semi hollow soapbar at Elderly Instruments: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HoobaStunk Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Can you back that up?Every one I have seen has said the same thing on the back of the headstock. My 4 year old Custom 22 shows World Music as the manufacturer. I don't have the old Santana model any longer, but, I suspect is just like yours made by World Music. But the manufacturing is a noticeably better on my version 2 PRS SE and the grade of mahogany used is as good as Epiphone's that were made at World Miusic (hence: version 2).

Members TruSlice Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Where did you get that wrap around bridge? I haven't found one that can be intonated and has a low enough profile as the stock one. I think most wrap around bridges are made for Les Paul Juniors. Pigtail Music. I like the fact that it is entirely made of aluminum and is rock solid, but is lightweight. Was a little pricey though, but always worth it at the end of the day. However, the difference is only negligible unless you replace the stud anchors in the guitar itself (mine are steel and are also from pigtail - both fit perfectly. Threads line up perfectly and have no lean). Then you can really hear it ring!! Can't just replace one weak chain in the link, so to speak. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
