Members willy22 Posted August 29, 2006 Members Share Posted August 29, 2006 What's the verdict on the PRS SE Singlecuts? Anybody played or owned one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hab Posted August 29, 2006 Members Share Posted August 29, 2006 I owned one when they were first released and sold it year ago and regret it everyday. The one I owned was a great guitar. It was light body that was lively and rang like a bell. The finsh was cherry and beautifully done. The frets highly polished and the edges were rounded like a guitar that had been played for years. The pick-ups were fat and warm sounding not as snarly sounding as gibson's, when bought the guitar I had only played without plugging it in and was fully prepared to install a set of Fralin's but I didn't feel a need. The pots and switches were fine as well. The only small issue I could detect with mine was the nut slots weren't fit properly, they too tight but that took me 20 minutes to fix myself. All in all previously I was never blow away by PRS guitars, never liked their overpriced ornate or "pimped out" "AMERICAN" models. This guitars was awsome, let me say that I was sceptical about the price and don't care what PRS purist say about this Korean model. MONEY aside it was great guitar and I suspect that's why they stopped making it, infact their new faded single cuts looks very similar with a {censored}ty finish at probably 31/2 times the price. Sorry for the long winded response but that how I feel. Hab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soulcrusher_X Posted August 29, 2006 Members Share Posted August 29, 2006 I was wondering the same thing......well, more for the SE Custom. For the money, they seem like really nice guitars. I'm still trying to decide on a Transparent black SE Custom or an LTD Archtop EC-400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willy22 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 30, 2006 I played one yesterday. They are very, very nice guitars for the money. I love how they did the cut away. It's alot easier to reach the upper frets than a Les Paul. The finish looked good, the maple top was nice, fret work was good. Honestly, I said I would never buy another foreign "cheap" guitar, but for the price this guitar is a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members killswitch_19 Posted August 30, 2006 Members Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'm still trying to decide on a Transparent black SE Custom or an LTD Archtop EC-400. The neck on the LTD is much thinner and easier to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
