    Not impressed

    PRS SE Mark TremontiPublished on 12/21/11 at 15:38
    Chinese made I think. Mahogany body and neck. Rosewood fretboard with bird inlays. 25" scale and 22 frets. PRS humbuckers. Les Paul style electronics.

    UTILIZATION

    I work part time at a fairly large music store. We got a large shipment of the SE line in, and I took a couple days to set them all up and test them. The Tremonti is a fairly no frills model besides the inlays. It does not feel very solid in the hands to be frank. The finish feels kind of cheap even compared to other guitars in this price range. The fretboard wood feels dry and cheap. The tuners feel okay but I can tell they aren't up to par with grovers or anything. Feels like they might fail any minute. T…

    UTILIZATION

    I work part time at a fairly large music store. We got a large shipment of the SE line in, and I took a couple days to set them all up and test them. The Tremonti is a fairly no frills model besides the inlays. It does not feel very solid in the hands to be frank. The finish feels kind of cheap even compared to other guitars in this price range. The fretboard wood feels dry and cheap. The tuners feel okay but I can tell they aren't up to par with grovers or anything. Feels like they might fail any minute. The other hardware seems okay although the design of the bridge isn't that innovative. Would it be that bad to just put a trem on there PRS? The electronics feel decent enough. They are about the only thing on the guitar that feel in line with the price. The playability is okay. But the whole guitar just feels a bit too cheap for me. I have held a lot of korean/chinese made guitars and this is definitely on the cheaper end.

    SOUNDS

    The sound isn't too hot either. These pickups are clearly not duncans or anything. They sound passable, but very flat. The cleans are sterile and the leads are mud. I never thought a guitar could make my Budda Superdrive sound flat. This one kinda does. The sound is just meh. I don't know how else to say it. Sounds like it's trying hard to be a Les Paul but doesn't have the spirit.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I should also mention, it goes out of tune fairly often and the factory strings don't do it any favors. How does PRS sell these? This seems more like a $300 guitar at best when you get it in your hands. They look nice on the wall but once you plug in the guitar is another story. I would recommend you get a real Tremonti or find another SE model that isn't as bad. Seems like PRS tried to go super low on the production costs to maximize profit because I'm looking at all the things on this axe and they don't add up to the asking price.

    the grip is enjoyable: it is lgre dcoupes and are well placed.
    the handle is plutt pais without being a beam, the thickness makes the game pnalise agreements but not at the game solo, on the contrary, really enjoyable!

    the nut be gaining some scrap or even changed to a bone or graphite MODEL.
    the heel of the handle, which is al profile is very well and provides good dernires Access in boxes, the single cut in dcoupe n'tant not teachers because the horn infrieure is hollow.
    empty sound is good and good sustain possde

    SOUNDS

    Come on, plugs: clean sound, plugged into a peavey studio pro 112 (transistors), we immediately find the trs beautiful warm sound;
    micro serious dlivre a warm and round with good DEFINITIONS.
    micro acute, more "percussive" is brighter and sharp without being aggressive.
    Plugs into an ENGL "all lamps" clean sounds keep the same CHARACTERISTICS but are magnified by the tubes ... we suspected it!
    levels between the two microphones are in balance or position intermdiaire (severe acute over) that combines roundness and punch without loss of level.
    if you really push the gain we get in large saturations but we understand that the "weaknesses" of violin making is offset by the large output level and color of the house microphones: it is a lesser evil that price. ..
    Crunches are nice and saturations are quite powerful
    the characters of the microphones are well respected in all positions (from slecteur, of course ...).
    large saturation DEFINITIONS keep a correct and do their job

    OVERALL OPINION

    Sounds obtained are versatile enough and can cover many styles tanquilement, but beware, it's not a Start!
    lgre, enjoyable round, trs beautiful clean tones, saturation nerve ... but it has no default!? if, if: the finishes are improved, including the white plastic nut (beurk!), but it's really to quibble ... especially since it is possible to have it replaced by a graphite nut!
    the microphones are inflated to give the punch that the violin "for beginners game" (not pjoratif eh!) can provide
    if you find it in time, Do not hesitate!
    even after the trial has lost against PRS gibson, it will become rare (collector?)

    added 30/04/05:
    comes from the dual-sided, the "small" Trmonti admitted weaknesses:
    the dual, ruthless, dmasqu unambiguously lack of exellence of this little guitar, trs remaining player on amplifiers less demanding!
    but on the Mesa is the verdict: realigned
    then resold ...
    I think it was a happy, at least I Espree!

    Finish level is correct as the nut in plastoc default if no big glaring aesthetic! For the rest of the others have said!

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is rather enjoyable to play if you're fan of very thick neck style tree trunk, which is my case (I do not run too late). For the game in line is nickel, on the other hand as soon as one part of the small or big solos or even arpeggio is immediately moin agréable.L access to acute is correct without being Bonnard once exceeded the 15 boxes that becomes difficult.
    It is rather small which is a good point, by sitting against the game quickly becomes acrobatic.

    SOUNDS

    I play mainly metal and limit big rock this guitar does not excel in this area when we began our ear is not yet done and say that this skyscraper has a big sound, but over time we realize the limits of Tremonti.
    For the "big sound" only the bridge pickup is doing but unfortunately I find it quite serious and responsible in the medium, the highs are too present in this micro is the gain but no grain!
    for the neck pickup is the cat, we lose everything in distortion gain, treble his drool and become non-existent for the games in agreement do not even think!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 4 years, buying 690 euros at the time she still managed to fill me some time but it did not last, with hindsight I find the price / quality ratio very poor knowledge that is hard to 200 euros more I could have obtained much better.
    Everything is not a throw, to blues and small rock that did the trick, especially with the year the price has dropped, it's easy to find one at 500 euros and this price then I highly recommend its purchase but beyond 500 euros I recommend you look elsewhere.

    Do you get a good sound easy?
    This guitar has two switchable via a humbuchers slecteur three positions, two pots of tone and two volumes. For the rest, I m'tendrais longer on some crucial points in the section sound.

    SOUNDS

    First of all my music is rock oriented.

    A vacuum has great sound, trs enjoyable to play with lots of sustain. We feel that we should not plug it into anything. Yet despite a good clean sound, when the lamp plugged into an amp, Epiphone Valve Junior or kind Fender Blues Junior, it feels nothing, really nothing. (What is surprising is that in my Peavey transistor model sounds better !!!). It is essential, and I insist on the fact that we must urgently change the pickups, which, it must be said, are rotten. Likewise the electronic: indeed making Corenne leaves DSIR, just disassemble the rear plate to see that. The wiring of flower pots is a true deli.

    Warning: This is even more amazing is that the pots of Tone and volume inverss t have some of them, that's why some, myself included, find the pots progrssifs enough. Simply put, for pots of Tone is changed from 1 through 10 without the other digits. ('m Wrong I may be, but the Tone pots are logarithmic as those volumes are linear ... they invited the inverss cause an impact on the sound, and modularity .

    On these pots also shortly APRS purchase, they crachaientt when the turning, which is trsdsagrable when you want to spend a good crunch saturation pronounced, we pass the knob 3-4 10 and more sound. For ahcete 700 Saint-Brieuc (and yes I did not know our German friends the era), all default break my heart.

    One might add that the interference, and other parasites, due to bad wiring srement mass (see above butcher).

    Ennrsum re wiring, pickups and pots change.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I think I use it for 3 years, she sduit primarily its form, its jouabilit its emptiness, its class. We do not seek esthtisme when we make music but the sound.

    It is imperative to change the pickups, pots, and do rgler. I'll let you know when it's done.

    I bought 700, and for that price, it is obvious that I do not Rasht this guitar, I'll invest in something without hsiter more just about the relationship qualitprix. So many guitars in this default. Wood is excellent I think, therefore changing what it takes, must have a sound. Must still plug into the amp adquate. Gibson style with microphones, a sound in the Torah.

    For those with a budget close to 700, I would advise investing in a Fender Start Classic 60 (informed consent), or in an SG-hand, or even a Telecaster. However dpend any use you make of it. I speak to the rock.

    When I speak of her, I mean HER, no sensations as a result of saturation in our first month!

    Good luck.
