Members Kaz2550 Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Not my cup of tea but thought it'd be of interest to the metalheads around here. I love my Singlecut SE:) http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/namm-2010-prs-launches-high-spec-new-se-guitar-231678 PRESS RELEASE: Paul Reed Smith Guitars has unveiled an exciting addition to its popular SE range for 2010, sporting an array of features never before seen on a production PRS model. The new SE Torero is a metal-oriented thoroughbred, built around a maple-topped mahogany body with stunning flame finish. Delivering the fire-breathing goods that metalheads require are a pair of active EMG 81 and 85 humbuckers, while an authentic Floyd Rose 1000 Series trem provides tuning stability and buttery smooth action. Continuing the list of unusual-for-PRS features on the Torero is a three-piece maple thru-neck (25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jds22 Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 I love the look but I've never played EMGs. How do they compare to passive pups? I prefer low to med output btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members colejustesen Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 I would sure pick it up at a store and play it. It sounds like all the right features to me, especially as far as woods go. I have always loved the look of PRS guitars, but I haven't ever really jived with actually playing them, even the higher end PRS stuff just didn't feel right in my hands. However they are some of the most beautiful guitars being produced in my opinion, though Carvin is putting out some top notch beauties.

Members Dropsix Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Why the EMGs. Why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Anomaly Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 WTF is Paul thinking? That price doesn't seem too out of whack for a Korean made quality axe with EMG's and a Floyd, to me. Sure, there are cheaper options, but are they as good?
