Members GAS Man Posted July 22, 2011 Members Share Posted July 22, 2011 the birds look a little thirsty here I liked the clean sounds this guy is getting here at around 0:47 and 1:42 [video=youtube;aPXe19BzmHs] and Paul here tells me this is the best SE yet [video=youtube;lDyikttVXR0] The weights vary on them but this one was listed as 7lbs flat which I hope will be acoustically resonant but yet still with enough density to hit some of the sustain achieved above.

Members DaleH Posted July 22, 2011 Members Share Posted July 22, 2011 First demo is great. The SE models I tried felt like acoustic necks, wide and flat. A little odd at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ultrastick Posted July 22, 2011 Members Share Posted July 22, 2011 No way will you be disappointed with that guitar! Played one yesterday at GC. Did a lot of drooling. You definitely need this guitar. Nice score! Pics & evaluation when you get it! Green with envy here..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Invader.CC Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 If you bought it with bill money then yes it was a dumb thing to do..To me there is no such thing as disposable money a better way of putting it is money not being used for other things..If you bought it with this type of money then why not how much pleasure could you gain if you would have spent it on something else?I know people who will piss away literally the type money that it cost to buy that guitar on one trip to the casino or a weekend of partying...That guitar with proper care will give you a life time of enjoyment and then could be handed down to your children or others..So no not a dumb thing..

Members billybilly Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 Lots of people spend in a night what you have spent on your guitar. I'd much rather be in your shoes. Nice axe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted July 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks guys. I was able to get a fairly nice discount on it as well since I push as much of my GAS towards SW as I can when they carry the item, so it made it a bit easier for me to succumb to the evil temptations of GAS. I'll resurrect the thread when it shows for some review and live pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alecto Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 Like someone else said, as long as you didn't use bill money to pay for it, and your SO doesn't object too badly, I don't see why it's stupid. Paul Reed Smith is making some incredible instruments these days. HOGD (Happy Ordered Guitar Day)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vintage clubber Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 that looks awesome! I like that almost as much as the SE Soapbar 1 Abraxus edition... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Philfixit Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 The SE's are a great value. I've got a Tremonti and I love everything about it except the color (Platinium). Have a little GAS for the Orianthi; I know it's a "chick" guitar but still want one. Only bad thing about the SE's is that they don't seem to hold value very well. I got my Tremonti for $200, and it was in perfect condition except for a tiny nick in the 12th fret, which buffed out nicely. Nice gig bag included.

Members GAS Man Posted July 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 Again thanks guys! The SE's are a great value. I've got a Tremonti and I love everything about it except the color (Platinium). Have a little GAS for the Orianthi; I know it's a "chick" guitar but still want one. Only bad thing about the SE's is that they don't seem to hold value very well. I got my Tremonti for $200, and it was in perfect condition except for a tiny nick in the 12th fret, which buffed out nicely. Nice gig bag included. I know what you mean about the Orianthi. Of course it wouldn't be my first choice in a guitar, but as a GAS'r, I'd love to have that little sparkler around too Plus I noted before when I bought 4 SEs on sale (for as low as $359) at the end of 2009, that the Paul Allender model I got for my son ($409 on sale) had the best tone of the 3 of them since the pickups were wound to his specs (i.e. with his input). So I do think you do get a bit of a better "SE" with the sig models, or at least the p'ups are a bit better than the regular run p'ups. And yes, from the sale values I posted above, I know that they won't be the best investments but I like the build of them so I figure they can make a nice every-day player that you can leave out with no worries.
