Top of the line quality in affordable range.

Keep in mind, I've spent the past 20 years a stubborn Fender Strat advocate...for me, there was no other guitar worthy of purchase:
This is the best value I've found in a guitar in the 20+ years ... read more [+]of playing. Now, forget the 'value' and 'affordability' for a minute...this guitar 'plays' incredibly. The wide fat neck ensures effortless chord execution, super fast and smooth neck and perfect action balance...just enough string tension to bend to the moon, yet low enough to shred up and down the neck effortlessly.
The 'stock' pickups sound like custom upgrades, delivering a nice clean tone to a fat, sustained 'in your face' distorted attack.
The hardware is even impressive...tight, smooth and 'balls on' accurate machine heads, nice tremolo, sturdy volume/tone knobs.
Aesthetically, the guitar is just awesome...well designed, perfectly balanced between contemporary and cool, yet beautiful.
Back to the 'value'...all this for less than $800! If you can't afford to drop a few grand on your 'dream' guitar...DON'T. Try this one! 'You can't always get what you want, but you'll get what you need'.
The PRS company have raised the bar to a new level in all the industry in terms of quality in the 'affordable' guitar line...so high, in fact, I doubt the competitors will be able to even remotely meet the challenge.
VERY nice...wow! close [-]

PRS SE Custom

by Ken Howell from Wolverhampton, England
January 24, 2007
Music Background: Guitarist
I've played for 40 odd years now and have always erred in favour of Fender,with 2 strats and a tele in my arsenal. But I wanted something with humbuckers on it. I tried out a Les Paul but it was a dog... read more [+], altogether too clunky in sound and weighed a ton. the man in the shop said "here, try this". The sound was very powerful on full volume, bags of sustain. But what I liked was the way it cleaned up when I rolled the volume back. The sound took on a Fender-like transparency. Clean enough to sound like Hank. Try that on a Gibson and all you get is mud. you lose all your top. Action is nice, stays in tune. Looks very nice too. I have the cherry sunburst and it was money well spent. Get one. close [-]

PRS SE CUSTOM CHERRY FINISH, W/STOPTAIL

by STRATMAN IN VERMONT from BARRE, VT
June 8, 2006
Music Background: HOBBYIST FOR PAST 40 YRS
I PURHASED THIS GUITAR BASED ON REVIEWS I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET. I WAS VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WHEN I REC'D THIS IN THE MAIL FROM SWEETWATER. THE GUITAR FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. I LOVE EVE... read more [+]RYTHING ABOUT THIS GUITAR. I ALSO HAVE A FENDER STRAT WHICH NICELY COMPLIMENTS THIS GUITAR. I PLAN ON HOLDING BOTH FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE ONLY SLIGHT COMPLAINT THAT I HAVE IS THAT I'M FINDING THE GUITAR GOES OUT OF TUNE QUITE A BIT, & I'M NOT REALLY BENDING THE STRINGS ALL THAT MUCH.
OTHERWISE, AN EXCELLENT CHOICE. close [-]
