UTILIZATION

Wanting to change and replace my Ibanez GRG170DX, I was looking for a versatile guitar, which sends a little sauce is not too expensive. I tested a lot of guitar in the price range but after having tested the SE Custom 22 of a dude, I conquered PRS.

It is a very light but strong guitar at a time and that of the mouth. Very easy to play, the handle is painted flat and wide enough, his own slides. Access to acute is easy, no genes in the game, very good ergonomics. And she still has the mouth (Color: Scarlet Red)

The vibrato is not yet a Floyd Rose but it is just behind. Its reliability is just unbelievable. I had not touched the guitar for almost 10 days I'm playing, no tune at all! I "violate" the vibrato at times that I do not play no strings do not relax. The outfit is just amazing, the guitar goes out of tune almost never does. Proof of quality workmanship.

SOUNDS

I play mainly Heavy kind Metallica, Motorhead, Iron Maiden ... but after trying several height adjustments microphones, I can play almost anything, Hard via Funk and Blues. She possesses a sharp and very heavy (Metallica) but you can also get very good clean sounds or bluesy. More because I play a little tout.Je feel a real difference depending on what I want to play, power and heat of sound is beautiful and well presented. = A very versatile guitar in all styles.


(But unless you have a big amp I do not think it's for extreme metal)

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in January 2011 and quickly saw that nothing remained beaucoup.J 'm very happy for my own use, manufacturing quality (Korea is different from China on this point) and sonority. I play on a Randall RG50TC (FOR SALE!) So its sends out the pate. I play a few times on a Fender Frontman, but even on a Fender it does well.

The value for money is not bad, it's worth € 710 Two years ago knowing that it was worth 650 so good .. I wanted a guitar around 600-700 € and very versatile, the PRS does his taf. I tried a Les Paul Studio, its worth 300 € more and I find it worse than the PRS, too heavy, not very accurate sound.

It is a guitar that I think keep long because of his versatility and that's just my first "real" guitar.

A guitar that I recommend, by the way other series from SE PRS are really great. So if you are looking for a versatile guitar pepere without breaking the bank too much and go for it!
