Well, its been a while since I have wanted a new guitar. I have been going to different music stores, and playing guitars, but nothing (in my price range that is) really stuck out at me. However, that all changed when a while ago, I picked up a PRS SE Singlecut. There was something about how the neck sat perfectly in my hand and how it sounded.

 

So I decided I wanted one, but being a college student and working at a horrible retail job, the $619 just wasn't coming in that quick. So Black Friday rolls around, and I see this great deal at SamAsh, $349. Since I usually shop at music123, I decide to call them up and see what they can do for me with their price match +23% off guarantee.

 

So in the end, I scored a PRS SE Singlecut for only $289.

 

An added bonus, this wasn't supposed to arrive till tomorrow, but UPS came a day early (and it arrived in one piece, how unheard of!) :p

 

So here are some pics.

Back Its a really nice color over the mahogany in person.

I'm currently turning my old Ibanez into a money pit, by putting new pickups, and eventually routing out for an OFR, just to get some practice with guitar crafting.

 

So yeah. Onto a mini review.

 

Its excellent. The action from the factory is so low, I cannot believe it. I have to adjust it a little, because there is some minor fret buzzing, but nothing horrible. The sound is great, and so versitile. I can get pretty much any sound out of this thing with some propper EQ'ing. Its fantasitc.

 

Yeah, sorry for the short review, but I'm off to go play!

Thanks for posting some pics, I recently picked up a SE and the fret board is a bit weird (has streaks of white in the grain). I was wondering if that variation was to to be expected or if I got a weird one. Sweet looking guitar!

Thanks everyone! :) I'm really pleased with this guitar. I even like the pickups that came with them. I heard everyone say that they suck, but if you just play with the pickup height just a bit, they really sound great and are pretty versatile.

I'm not a poor college student. My son is. Therefore, I'm the poorer father of a poor college student.

 

We have to lean on each other pretty hard when the GAS gets bad.

 

I may be broke but I still know a hot guitar and a good deal when I see one.

 

Congrats and HNGD!!!
