My first REAL Guitar

I absolutely love this guitar. It's FAR superior to the Squire Strat my dad bought me when I was 14. It feels better in my hands, and in general just fits me better. I'm not a big fan of the tremolo (would like to lock it somehow) but that's the only complaint I have.

Orianthi PRS SE is simply Fabulous!!!

Just received the PRS Orianthi SE Guitar and I'm really blown away! It’s simply gorgeous in tone, build quality, finish, components etc. I've never owned a PRS and this one is my first and it is fun to play. The guitar plays very loose meaning you can fly up the neck like a gymnast. PRS also supplied a very nice gig bag that comes with the guitar. It’s got a really sweet tone on the bridge setting which is like maple syrup on pancakes. The middle setting tastes like a top notch cheeseburger. And, the neck setting is thanksgiving turkey and all the fixings! I use these descriptions to depict just how bad*** tone wise this guitar puts out sound! Both volume and tone controls are very smooth with no discernible jump in function and sound, clearly they put quality components in it! Tuners are very high ratio and smooth along with a great nut at the neck. The bridge is their own design and it’s perfectly setup from PRS with Sweetwater going through it the guitar and verifying its playability before it leaves their facility with a 55 point inspection. It comes delivered with PRS 9-42 gauge strings! The finish is a sparkly red finish, which at first wasn’t really sure if it would be to girly for my tastes, but I was wrong the finish is fabulous and fits the guitar’s mojo!

Bottom line the PRS Orianthi SE is a stellar axe for anybody wanting a supreme guitar for any genre! I play a Gibson Les Paul, and an EVH Wolfgang Special, and both guitars are fab! But, the Orianthi is in my opinion a wee bit sweeter for me! I don't know why I waited so long to pull the trigger on buying one, but many thanks to my main rep Chris Louis for being patient with me. I eventually bought it! Merry Xmas and Happy New Year 2012!

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
