PRS SE Soapbar II

The PRS SE line of guitars is a great line of guitars. These guitars are helping to change PRS's Image from a super high end high priced guitar company only pros and dentists use to a guitar company that everyone can use. The SE line is made overseas but it is made to the same specs with much of the same parts that the USA made PRS models have. This is a interesting model. This is pretty much a Custom 22 with P90 pickups. I love the Custom 22 and I love P90s. I should love this guitar. This guitar has the dual cutaway prs body with the flat top. It is mahogany with a maple top. It has the traditional 25 inch PRS scale length on a 22 fret mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard. It has PRS's wide fat neck and two PRS P90 style pickups. There is a master tone and master volume with a 3 way toggle switch that is unusually placed. The bridge is PRS's wrap around stop tail design which is pretty good.

UTILIZATION

These guitars have all the great playability of a normal PRS even though they are made overseas. The Wide-Fat neck isnt that fat. It is not like 50s Gibson fat. It is more of a normal profile compared to the wide-thin neck they put on some guitars. The fretwork is nice and even and the factory action is very good. The wrap around bridge is a great setup and matches well with the 25 inch scale. PRS guitars always seem to have better intonation than other guitars even with their seemingly simple bridge setups. On many guitars with bridges like this the intonation is bad but PRS has figured out how to design their bridges to where the design is simple but the intonation is correct. The setneck joint is nice and slim so you can play all the way up on the neck. The satin finish gives a smooth feel which is good on the neck. Again with all these PRS models I hate how far away the pickup selector is. I wish they would put them closer to the rest of the controls.

SOUNDS

P90s are my favorite vintage pickups. You can do just about any music with a set of P90s if you really try. The P90 has a pretty cool tone on its own and it comes out well on this guitar. The P90 single coils give you a nice crisp top end but unlike Fender single coils they have the balls in the low end to fill out the sound. You get the twang but the twang has a good thick bass to it to keep it from sounding harsh. So you get a thick full sound with the single coil clarity up top.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is great if your a normally a humbucker fan but want a guitar with something a little differe. The P90s have enough of the single coil twang to sound different but it isnt like going the opposite direction and playing a tele. It still has some thickness to it that humbucker fans will be use to. These PRS SE guitars are great. Everyone can afford PRS design and playability now. These guitars are very reasonably priced compared to the USA made PRS guitars. For around 600 dollars you can get a great playing mahogany guitar with P90 pickups what more could you want.

Made in core under "Contrle PRS."
For the characteristics it is already said ..



USE

After a small rglage to my luthier prfr I trouvela scratch rather pleasant to play, lightweight .... even when too lightweight we are accustomed to play with other guitars! Surprising.
For mics in this product range, there is nothing to say.
I believe that with the strings, the amp and effects that go well has to sound. I test the beast three combos (three sets DIFFERENT gear) and I sound. The pickups are pretty biting and i was surprised by the precision. The qual is correct and I easily found what I was expecting. (In particular Rock)

SONORITS

Guitar dlivrant of sontrs suitable for the particular ROCK.
I tested Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Fender amps and other etRoland. Rocktron pedals, Electro Harmonix, Ibanez, line 6, boss ..
I get the sounds I want without much difficultbr /> I use mainly micro chevaletsaturation. Other positions slecteur microphones also dlivrent good sound, it all depends on rglages and what there is in the ass ....


NOTICE GLOBAL

Look and nice weight. The keys are of medium quality, tuning does not seem to move at the moment. The violin is correct for this product line, and nice pickups.
We are in a Corenne range whose value can be about 500th, thus going.
Otherwise, there are more expensive, the better ....

It's really nice skyscrapers that works and can be versatile. For the price, frankly say anything and then it's a PRS, the core can do the guitars and others did that behave. I am happy with my purchase.

Manufacturing Korea, 22 frets, PRS P90, simple volume and tone and quality please!

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice that suits everyone, good access to acute, P90 sound says it all, we say that this guitar is made for beginners ..... the one who sold it to me is not a beginner quite the contrary, and he played in two amps CARVIN 1 and a small VOX, she was moaning like crazy. I branch on my Epiphone valve and my Fender Mustang and is a real pleasure, and it sounds incredible sustain for a guitar of this range.

SOUNDS

It's perfect for the Blues, Rock, Hard and ballads in clean carefree, brief heavy to light easily.
The P90 is perfect on this guitar not need to upgrade, overdrive very well.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently but she seduces from the first grip, models, yes it begins to make some that I have or try but never PRS is a great discovery for a small price, I love the most .... everything perfect finish, hardware quality, good microphones, light guitar, good balance and especially the price. We do not think this quality at this price.

I do it again this choice without hesitation. This is a very good guitar for beginners and even for players !!! do not rely on the standard tariff entry level it to any great.

Made in Korea
Glue stick 22 frets mahogany trs enjoyable, the rosewood fingerboard and mahogany body. For electronic 2 P90 (PRS) with a 3 position selector, volume and tonality.

UTILIZATION

It's an enjoyable trs guitar, dj lgeret its well balanced and the handle a bit wide but it suits me perfectly, Access in an acute very easy (it goes to the end of the handle very easy).

Since rglages limited volume and Tone sounds come alone!

Oh, I almost forget the sustain is good trs.

SOUNDS

This is the highlight of the PRS! Dj unplugged, it seems to play an acoustic, because it was the rsonnance, the body restores pais yet not much bass.

Once a branch so we s'aperoit it has an electric resources because the microphones are excellent! I did not know the P90 and I t immediately in love.

The neck pickup is very serious, the cleans are great with it.
The bridge pickup is nickel sounds punk / rock, though sharp and cutting wish.

The position intermdiaire runic perfect union, we get all the qualities of microphones.

And thanks to P90, there is the simple snap of microphones and power of a humbucker in a word: "Perfect"

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two days that I have, so I have not seen all the possibilities of the guitar, but the little I have played, I'm bluffing.

In dpart, I wanted a skyscraper with humbuckers, the seller told me to try this because I am rather PRS rhythm, and the 500 euros, there was not much choice, and frankly f t love at first sight, because in my hands a guitar lgre with a handle that fit into the hand and a sound that could range from vintage to the metal by changing only the channel of the amplifier and the selector microphones.

If you need a scraper acqurir not to shredder), and if it did in the store, board, try it, because for the price, you get a quality guitar with a p. .... sound!
