Ergonomics are good trs lgre dcoupe and rear is made to tell him my side meri.la finish is good considering the price is not better on the market.

SOUNDS

So the sound I play mostly mtal yours yours! Most of the time I play the neck pickup to beginners I found much of the time but after I found less and less good then change for a prs HFS and not zeus cr diou of wine I had married another guitar in his hands two years since I played the original pickups! So a change of emergency and also has pots up the bill but what fun you have a few guitars offer the prize

OVERALL OPINION

I played with for two years and the change of pickups is indniable if you really want to enjoy a range of sounds as I said I play mainly mtal but also involves other style I play on a Zen and I rgale amp with this guitar without having to 3000 eur for good sound choices that I would do without hesitation and I do not count me spar that MODEL is in REdition June following a trial against a gibson, trs good guitar.

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.

This guitar was made in korea, 22 frets, 2 humbuckers PRS ... it has 2 tone knobs and 2 volume ... The manceh is big enough ...
It's basically a Les Paul with PRS wrote above

UTILIZATION

The handle is in my opinion very very nice ... access to acute is intelligent in spite of the form (I know a certain brand whose name begins and ends ... Gib by his would take that to the seed)

The ergonomics are very good and an important asset, it is very light ...

we get easily a good sound, aggressive and very accurate at will!

SOUNDS

It's perfect for rock and clean sounds ...

I love all the sounds of this guitar

I just change the pickups in favor of the US Tremonti ... Investment I do not regret at all since the guitar is literally sublimated by the US microphones.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year and a half Elela has very good ergonomics, a good value for money ... I would do without hesitation ... the Coix at the base I entered the store to buy an Epiphone Les Paul, but I tried this one and I must say it has more punch and is much lighter / fine ...

It equals a hassle-free entry / midrange Gibson once replaced the pickups

I will not rpter the CHARACTERISTICS of the guitar, the other (happy) users have trs well done! Well, okay, even when I do, but that's because it's you! So it's a guitar built in Core, Les Paul shape but less grazed, mahogany set neck with a round and not too pais, trs comfortable pace of 25 'like the PRS am Rican (between Gibson and Fender). It is trslgre, CHAC fever is relatively easy. Cache truss-rod nut and plastic vritable (no top at all ...). Mcaniques a little blah (but it's not the same crap, eh!), Stop Bar tailpiece (me, the Floyds, a drunk me !!!). The head has a great design, more beautiful style and a cake server Epiphone style. 2 volume, 2 tone and 2 humbuckers. Binding crme around the body and the handle (just irrgulier, but I chipotte, I know!). Here I think we went around: a guitar is simple, and effective class, fearing effective!

UTILIZATION

This will be ending for one year I have this guitar. First Contact is thunder lgre comparing a Les Paul Epiphone! What fun! The handle is round, nothing to do with an Ibanez, trs really enjoyable for my big paws. The knobs are not progressive trs: we pass nothing at all! But it has good secondary.

SOUNDS

No branch, the guitar sounds good trs. It has a trs good sustain. Once connected, it's a vamp! I use a Marshall MG 100 DFX distos and I use the "Guv'nor" and "Distortion +" a Boss ME 50. This guitar is perfect for rock. It's a leaner, sharper, more biting than a Epiphone Les Paul. It spits well distortion, but the bridge pickup lacks a bit of PCHE. The neck pickup sounds round and warm. Its clear she dfend well ...

2 weeks ago, I changed the original double bobs for EMG 81 (as Metallica, Rammstein ... and many others!). And it's like a big fat pie in my little face! Ms in my Marshall, but a spat power! For the Metallica is no problemo!

Edit of 24/06/2006: APRS two and a half years of use and more of experience, not much wrong. Branchedsormais in my Tech 21 Trademark 300 4x12''cabinet a religious Tech 21, it really rvle. The distortion is fat and prcise, with sustain, excellent wholesale rock and metal. The clean sounds are round and powerful, but not ingrable playing on pots.

OVERALL OPINION

It's going to be ending for one year that I have, and I love compltement: every time I watch it, I say to myself "What class". I love its comfort for a Les Paul type guitar. For the price it's really the ultimate: she is beautiful, comfortable, and it sounds! And no dirt Floyd drgle that all the time! I have an Ibanez RG320 also, but I find my Tremonti SE suprieure well. I do it again this choice without hsiter! Now that I changed the pickups it suits me perfectly, it's the guitar I always rv I'm not prt of lche, except for PRS Singlecut one (but it s not the same price!).

Simple, class, and efficient I tell you!

Edit of 24/06/2006: The years passed and when I sell it as I got m'aperois attach. I regret that I just picked up the key: with time, I think the point is not trs Aesthetics! I plan dsormais point me to an Edwards Les Paul Custom, history of trying anything like that. I would also prciser that strength to play the tie belt com ct round skate in a vacuum. I live on a fixed plate at CASC slecteur, and it is so much stronger! I tried a few guitars since (Fender Telecaster, Strats, Ibanez RG, PLO, Lag ...) but I always come back my little Tremonti SE. She directed my fawn playing with her little characters!

APRS 2 years, I ritra: simple, classy and efficient!

For CHARACTERISTICS, Submitted internet or see in other reviews.

I believe the Black version is the same as this but in black! For opinions, no problem, only the color appear different.

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable, playable, like all MRIT to go home for the luthier rglages. I play trs rarely beyond the box 19, nanmoins CHAC in box 22 is plutt ais.

Type Les Paul, it is lgre with a rosewood fingerboard, making it enjoyable at the touch of the game Concerning mcaniques PRS oil bath on a small tyrant, the strings tend dsaccorder is crushing when in full! May be should they change.

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.

Guitar with a small frame for my taste (maybe because I went from a 24 to 21 freight ...) but it is quite reasonable.
Well-designed 3-button, one volume and two tones, sacahant their functions vary depending on the position of the microphone selected (the tones change with microphones and sound too), the selector at the bottom and Tremonti has two humbuckers

UTILIZATION

Not having much experience I can not compare too but as it is good for me: fun to play, a light weight, a smooth and aggressive when you have, nice ergonomics, and we walk as one wants in the treble.

SOUNDS

It's perfect for what I play, I love the sounds warm and deep. The only thing that can be titillate me a little, I do not know if it comes from my 30w marshall or my strings but it lacks just a few reasons, a longer sound would be great. I will try to make elixir to see if it changes qqchose

OVERALL OPINION

Light, pleasant to play, I would definitely buy it if it again, a good look dark ... I was as sincere as possible, you make a decision with other opinions like mine, good scratch ^ ^

For CHARACTERISTICS, see post previous ones ...

Manir gnrale of a skyscraper-like Les Paul, with all that entails has

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable (you must love the sleeves and wide round), Access in no acute problem ... I love those sleeves, and yet I had an Ibanez EDR470

Guitar trslgre I find such an extent that it tended from beginners forward (cot sleeve). Adquate through a strap, the pb is rsolu!
This cot so, this is NOT a Les Paul (5 kgs less !!!!!)

SOUNDS

The sound?
Originally, not too bad ... but as said lower east trs "big sound" very serious pais micro, micro acute swinging the heavy (high gain). While in the style of the artist in short ..

I have some personal PROCD p'tits changes:
- Micro serious replaced by a DiMarzio Virtual PAF (DP197) and well and gentle crmeux in clean, a bit grumpy in crunch and saturated fat vintage ... Trs dynamic gnral ... I'm in love !!!!!!
- Micro acute replaced by a DiMarzio Humbucker From Hell (DP156), slamming, mtallique and just squeaking in saturation, while shaking well in a serious rhythm.
- Squirts knobs (the original ones: although Merd ****) to install two split, I end up with a super versatile scraper: the single or double, depending on the situation.
- Mcaniques exchange for blocking Spertzel: indeed, the original ones had weakness, resented the bends too strong, especially in the Sol.

With a, I scratched the perfect (for me ok ), a budget extension, but worth it, believe me!
Originally it is a good base, the violin is good trs, the changes are so useful.

3 stars for the original sound ... (lack of versatility)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two and a half years, and sincrement, I love it!
APRs have tried a lot of scrapes, including Yamaha and Ibanez possde, I must say that the trs trs suits me well ..

The default? some dsquilibre in rpartition weight of the connector jack a little cheap, the knobs "all or nothing" of origin, mcaniques a little feeble, too.

In return, look really nice, enjoyable trs a handle, an excellent violin (for the price).
8 / 10 original, and now 11/10!!

So yes, a choice I would do without hsiter.

Everything has been said in other reviews left. I would add just that for my part I love the look (the model for the black and silver model blah) and impeccable finish.

UTILIZATION

Handle easily. Feeling of lightness.

SOUNDS

As I had no means of comparison, I found that is great for sound. Unfortunately, I just invest in a guitar equipped with micro emg (81 and 60) and since then it has to fall sharply in my estimation!.

I have a desire to change the pickups

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 3 years that I have. Compared to the price, I think she is not doing too badly and that a small change of microphones should highlight its qualities

Korean guitar manufacturing parts but with PRS as the US: exe ==> Bridge, Mechanical ...
It's a 22 frets.
Fixed Bridge PRS.
Two flight two tones.
Quick Channel pleasant reminds profiles gibson 60 '

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice, easy access to acute, very good ergonomics for a balanced guitar ...
Is rapidly obtained a good sound.

SOUNDS

This guitar is very versatile, for my part I put two Seymour Duncan splitables which multiplies the opportunities and offers a sound as good as clean: bass, its chalereux.
What Disto: Aggressive, powerful, precise .... What happiness

OVERALL OPINION

This is an excellent value for money and a good way to scratch a typed s'offir gibson staying on a model easy to play and lightweight.
I highly recommend it.

Mark Tremonti is the Alter Bridge/Creed guitarist and he has been a pretty loyal PRS player for a few years now. He is one of the most well known PRS players in modern music so he has a few signature models to his name. This is the SE version. SE PRS guitars are made overseas but still retain the great feel and sound of their USA made counterparts. This guitar has a mahogany body with a mahogany set neck. The fretboard is rosewood with 22 medium frets. The neck has PRS's wide fat profile. The neck is also PRS's unique 25 inch scale. It has PRS in house pickups front and rear. The controls are unusual for a PRS since it has dual volume and tone controls. The bridge is a PRS wraparound design which they use on a lot of their guitars. The finish is a super deep black. Guitars dont need to come in any other color.

UTILIZATION

PRS guitars have a unique feel to them. This is mostly due to their wraparound bridges and their unique scale lenghts. The wide fat neck isnt as scary as it sounds. It is no where near as fat as a 50s Gibson. It is fatter than the wide thin PRS neck that I love. I find they are making less and less models with the wide thin neck. They have managed to perfect their simple wrap around bridges. This combined with the unique scale lenght gives these guitars very good intonation although if you are use to Gibson wraparound bridges you may not think so. The fretboard is fully bound and feels nice. The radius is pretty flat but it is not a total shredder. The guitar feels nice and solid.

SOUNDS

PRS throws in some decent pickups into their SE models. You can really tell everything on a PRS guitar is matched perfectly with every other part. Every part works together to get that unique PRS tone and feel that PRS players always brag about. I believe Tremonti uses Seymour Duncan pickups in his personal guitar so PRS has tried to get that sound with some of their stock pickups. The bridge pickup is pretty hot and open so you can get good over driven sounds. It has a lot of grunt to it. It is not the best pickup out there but by no means is it terrible. The bridge pickup is nice and solid for metal or classic rock. It does not clean up very well but that is common among high output pickups. The neck pickup compliments the bridge pretty well. It is decently hot but provides a smoother sound. This smoother sound lets the pickup get a good clean tone and also gives you lovely lead tones. Smooth leads just fly out of the guitar and you an really shred on it.

OVERALL OPINION

Mark Tremonti is one of the most popular PRS players nowadays and so he has a few signature models out. Since most of his fans are probably younger or working musicians the SE model provides them with a Tremonti signature that they can afford yet still has all the looks and feel of the real USA made model. This guitar with a swap of pickups can perfectly nail the Tremonti tone so this guitar is a great value because you can get this guitar for around 600 bucks while the real Tremonti signature is like 2600 bucks and even that one does not come with the real pickups he uses. So you can get this SE and spend a couple hundred bucks in pickups and have a closer Tremonti tone than what the USA model provides.

Everything has already been said in other reviews.
I'm pretty happy with all of its features for the price I paid

UTILIZATION

The handle is comfortable playing right, but it lacks a little speed.
The weight is significant for a Les Paul, the ergonomics are quite good.
Access to the treble is very easy I think.
More generally, I put a little time to adjust to this guitar but once you tame it is nice to play.
A small flat in mechanics, the guitar goes out of tune pretty quickly.

SOUNDS

I bought it to complete an Ibanez RG 350 that is in a completely different note, I wanted a guitar with a sound a bit more vintage.
Level violin, electronics, look ... I was not disappointed cons micro level it is a disappointment, I had read reviews that said it was the problem with this guitar, I can confirm.
Unfortunately I have not had the time and money to change them
Those currently on the guitar missing fishing too and are not suitable to the guitar in my opinion, we feel it has more to give than what the microphones offer, thus providing € 150 / 200 more for new pickups.

OVERALL OPINION

I have now for 6 months and I'm not disappointed with my purchase, despite the microphones, it does well the job for which I had purchased.
I do not know if I would do the same choice, because I have not tested many other guitars in the same price range but I do not regret my purchase for 200 € I did not ask more

Originally written by neova on Audiofanzine FR.

A Les Paul-style guitar.



UTILIZATION

Pleasant neck (if you like round and wide necks), easy access to the upper frets. I love such necks, I used to have an Ibanez ERD470...
I find the guitar is very light, to the point that it is not perfectly balanced (headstock a bit too heavy) But the problem can be solved easily with the right strap!!
As for weight, it's NOT a Les Paul.


SOUNDS

How does it sound?
With the original pickups, the guitar sounds good for big rock: very fat neck pickup, high-gain bridge pickup. It has the Tremonti sound...
Personally, I customized it a bit:
-- I replaced the bridge pickup with a DiMarzio Virtual PAF (DP197). It delivers a creamy and smooth clean sound, a slight angrily crunch and and a vintage distortion... The dynamic response is good... I fell in love with this pickup!!!!!!
-- I replaced the bridge pickup with a DiMarzio Humbucker From Hell (DP156) that produces an aggressive and metallic distortion sound.
-- The original pots had a very poor quality. I replaced them with push/pull versions to get two splits. The result is a very versatile guitar with single-coil or humbucker, depending on my needs.
-- The original tuners were not very reliable with strong bends so I replaced them with Spertzel locking tuners.
These improvements made it the perfect guitar. It makes the instrument more expensive but it was worth it, trust me!!!
The original instrument is a very good basis, so the modifications are useful.


OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for 2.5 years and I love it!
I tried many guitars from Ibanez and Yamaha but this one is really awesome.

Cons? It's not perfectly well balanced, the connector is a bit cheap, the original controls and machine heads.

Pros: nice look, very pleasant neck, great manufacturing quality considering the price.
I give the original 8/10 and 11/10 to the customized version!!

So yes, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
