Members tweak'd Posted December 16, 2011 Members Share Posted December 16, 2011 15% is valid towards this on MF hmmm I had one in my cart for a week with the 12% discount they had running until 12/9 (they let it sit at that price for almost a week after the discount expired), but didn't complete the purchase. Now I can get 15% off, with no tax and free shipping and I'm finding it hard to resist. Just wish I could pick I the one I want and not have to purchase blind. I want a great top and am not sure I want to take the luck of the draw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted December 16, 2011 Members Share Posted December 16, 2011 I really like PRS SEs, and this one looks great. I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually thinking about getting an SE Orianthi. For whatever reason, the SE sigs look great to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tweak'd Posted December 16, 2011 Members Share Posted December 16, 2011 I decided to take my chances on how nice it top it would have and went to place my order, but was denied the 15% discount. So I'll wait and find one in a shop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alecto Posted December 16, 2011 Members Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yowza! That's one purty guitar. If it had a trem, that would make it a no-brainer but it's still a helluva tempting axe. I especially love the wide-fat neck and the dual volume controls, which PRs needs to have on more of their axes IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sensates Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 I just got the SE Akerfeldt. For me it's a no brainer, it has all my favorite specs combined: thick neck, rounder radius, ebony board, excellent fret job, light but solid, single cut mahagony body with trem, pretty looks! Cant believe it took me this long to realize how great these guitars are, their build quality is great and on par with some MIAs that I have, plays well, sounds great. Even until today I am pretty shocked at the quality of this guitar. I thought the trem is really good! One minor thing: I believe many tuning issues mentioned in some other thread is due to guitar setup to 9 strings. To put on bigger strings, the nut needs to be widened (only the low E for mine) to allow the strings to go though better, the bridge needs re-leveling then. It is all stated in their website.

Members cbh5150 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2011 I still had the "snowball11" coupon in my cart that worked, so I could have nabbed a Marsden for $446.94 - HOWEVER, thanks to PunkKitty, who noticed a couple of used SE 245s popped up, I picked up a used "mint, like new" SE 245 in TB for $381.xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aliensporebomb Posted December 23, 2011 Members Share Posted December 23, 2011 I dunno about the Marsden one (he played in Whitesnake way in the past before their 80s heyday) but I tried PRS Torero and I was shocked because not only was the quality much better than I expected it to be but the NECK was just an astonishing piece of work, the width, the smoothness, the playability was insanely good. Not sure about EMG actives these days (I only have one guitar with those now) but for a guitar with a real Floyd (mixed blessing for some), active electronics, flametop, set-neck you can't go wrong.
