Members Misha Posted October 7, 2010 Members Share Posted October 7, 2010 http://www.prsguitars.com/semikaelakerfeldt/specs.php I tried it once at my local shop and it was really nice! It sounded very good and I like the ebony fretboard. I tried it againlast weekend: same feeling!! I can get it for 580$ CAD brand new. (Weird, they are more expensive in the USA: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/PRS-SE-Mikael-Akerfeldt-Electric-Guitar?sku=423365) I'm not in love with the logo... but just because it is a logo of a band. In fact, it makes the guitar pretty... I want a guitar with humbuckers but since LPs are uncomfortable to me, this PRS SE seems like a good alternative! Any thoughts about this guitar?

Members Dougie.Douglas Posted October 7, 2010 Members Share Posted October 7, 2010 Damn thats sweet. Its about time he got a signature guitar, hes an awesome guitarist. Opeth are one of my favouite bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitar Heel Posted October 7, 2010 Members Share Posted October 7, 2010 I kind of wish it was a plain top with that logo. The flame plus the logo is a bit much for me, but I'm a fan of the SEs in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zantor9 Posted October 7, 2010 Members Share Posted October 7, 2010 That's nice! Wow ebony fretboard and only $600 new? That's amazing. Opeth is a great band also so if it meets his expectations it has to be great Get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not do the same thing for you though! This guitar has got nice cleans (I tried it with a Vox AC15C1) as well good crunch sounds (tried it this time with a Traynor YCV40WR.) GAS again...

I Traynors, and SEs, so that sounds like a hell of a combo to me. Also, sounds like the two would actually match pretty well, color-wise. And you're right, if I saw it in person I'm quite sure I'd want it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dougie.Douglas Posted October 7, 2010 Members Share Posted October 7, 2010 I listened to him after I saw the guitar. I like some of their tunes. I'm thinking I should listen to them more!

Members Misha Posted October 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 7, 2010 Well, I have to admit that I prefer their songs... instrumental! The voice is almost too low for me to hear! it might have to do with my age a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members clay sails Posted October 7, 2010 Members Share Posted October 7, 2010 I like SE's and that one is pretty, but I don't care for the satanic symbols (not on the Santana Abraxis, either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voice is almost too low for me to hear! it might have to do with my age a bit... Oh I see Thats fair enough. I'm not a huge fan of instrumentals as a whole really, but each to their own If you don't like LOOOOWWWW voices, then listen to Porcelian (sp?) Heart byu Opeth, thats just got normal singing in I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zantor9 Posted October 8, 2010 Members Share Posted October 8, 2010 My two favourites are: Those are cool but mine are: [YOUTUBE]1IzLDT73bkk[/YOUTUBE] and [YOUTUBE]tFX8AyxwCYs[/YOUTUBE] Opeth's got some cool {censored}. I love how different they are from their calm, cool, quiet songs to their heavy, brutal, death metal songs. I guess they are considered Progressive Black Metal but i prefer to call them "Opeth" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zantor9 Posted October 8, 2010 Members Share Posted October 8, 2010 Yes i am! For $580 it's a steal for a new guitar. Especially one of that caliber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
