UTILIZATION

Channel trs enjoyable, though typical Gibson. This can dconcerter beginners to fans of Stratocaster.
Accs ais to acute and excellent ergonomics:
The guitar is not too heavy, and the limited number of pots allows rglages easy (I had an Epiphone Les Paul before, and I've never understood the intrt time controlled theirs!)
It is therefore ais to find the sound you want.
Vibrato.

SOUNDS

I play on a small Marshall AVT 20 and get the PRS with a large variety of sound. it's a guitar ultrapolyvalente. We are two guitarists in my band (taken from Radiohead, Muse, Placebo, Smashing Pumpkins ...) and alternate the parts of lead and rhythm guitar. Well, the PRS is well in the two cases:
In rhythm mode, with a rglage lgrement Crunshy at the amp, it happens to sound like a Tlcaster.
Guitar solo selector in the down position, distal branch was for much less than with Gibson, the "Les Paul", rich and full of sustain. A rgal. It sounds much more "Les Paul" as my old Epiphone Les Paul.
Apart from the rock record in which it excels, it is also convincing in trs things more intimate (sounds of Jean-Louis Murat in Mustango for example).

OVERALL OPINION

Santana SE I use this for almost two years.
It gives me satisfaction Entire. I was looking for a reliable guitar, which does not dsaccorde. In this respect it is the gniale. On lead guitar, I use a lot of notes tires (Gilmour), and my Epiphone lived poorly to such treatment: j'tais obligation to connect the guitar every song (a little Gnant in concert!). L no problem. I think it's the vibrato tailpiece SPECIFICATIONS that makes mcaniques (finely crafted for that matter) are less in demand than a Les Paul MODEL.
For less than 1000 EUR, it is a good value qualitprix trs.
The look is nice, although I remain a fan of the Les Paul shape, so endearing.
