Members _pete_ Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 They are nice guitars. I have an SE project guitar I'm working on right now. Post some pics when you get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian May Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 i used to have an SE Custom when they first came out and it was a really good guitar for the money. The only gripe i had was the trem never held tuning. But maybe with a new nut that would have been righted. But alas I ended up selling it and a couple of others and buying a 2nd hand PRS CU24.

The two previous SE's I had both had nut slots on the tight side. The one I just got has them too. When you use the bar or tune up you hear the 'ping' from the plain strings. That will cause all kind of difficulty with staying in tune. Use a nut file or a piece of fine sandpaper and lightly widen the slots until the pinging is gone. I haven't touched the nut yet on the new one. I 'm replacing it with a USA PRS nut. We'll see how that does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A3C Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 Let us know what you think when you get it. I can't decide between the SE Custom, SE Singlecut, or the Gibson vintage mahogany LP with Burstbuckers. The SEs are 200 bones less, but the LP is a Gibby...decisions, decisions.

Members Spectrum13 Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 I have one. Just needs some nut loving (file) and make sure the tuners did not come from a bad batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members streetknight Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 I just bought a PRS SE Soapbar II and I couldn't be happier. When I went to pick it up, I played a Single cut too and was blown away. I really wanted that guitar too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JoeFro1984 Posted April 23, 2008 Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 I love my SE One. Enjoy your new guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members streetknight Posted April 23, 2008 Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 I love my SE One. Enjoy your new guitar! My soapbar is SO freaking awesome! I haven't picked up even my MIA strat since I've gotten it. It does everything well. I've used it thru my Micro Cube, my AD30VT (especially with a Bad Monkey) WOW. and even my toneport man. From cleans to hard rock, it's awesome and Sustains like you wouldn't believe. Good luck with your Custom. I'm sure you'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StringBreaker Posted April 23, 2008 Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 Sweet guitar, just wish it was a copy of a proper SC and not have the pup selector out where it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eroom Posted April 23, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 Aaaargghhhh! MF does it again! They sent me the Tremolo version when I ordered the Stop tail. Now I have to send it back, and wait for them to exchange it. Pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hemroidius Posted April 23, 2008 Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just about every SE I've picked up in store played and felt great. One or two of them may have had minor setup issues but nothing that couldn't be easily adjusted. I've had a hankering for an SE but my finances are spread so thin lately I couldn't justify buying even a used model. I just went super budget and mail ordered a First Act Lola for $150. Anyways, you're likely to get a fine guitar whether or not it turns out to be your cuppa tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks. I haven't ordered from MF in a long time but never had any trouble when I did. Are they still having shipping issues with their warehouse operations relocating, or is this just a stupid mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kgraber Posted April 23, 2008 Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 I grabbed a new PRS SE Custom a couple weeks ago and it's great. I really like the neck on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
