UTILIZATION

Guitar exceptional comfort Thurs Not for Satriani though, once well in hand, you spend what you want. The news is not for me to match this first model that when I look at the bargain price makes me laugh because many scratches much dear fail him at the easel or ankle, as you want

SOUNDS

I changed the pickups, a bit light after a few years of use. and then it becomes a killer for a very reasonable price.

OVERALL OPINION

If you change the pickups, and you change his key remaining'' LIGHT'' in keeping the agreement in the long run, you have a unique guitar for his comfort Thurs Note that I speak of the first models, which for me has nothing to do with the new.
So if you want to make a deal, buy this model secondhand because at this price you will hardly find better. For my part, I never resell because rather than keep the'' give'' for 300 euros ....

everything has been said. config is rather traditional: 2 HB on a mahogany body. but no table maple handle much Faster than gibs.
finishes are honorable for Korean this range (the sunburst is successful). no binding or other frills, this is a guitar to send the sauce. reperes just add a touch of originality.

UTILIZATION

handle very end. rather properly balanced and light enough, the grip is reassuring. I regret the lack of progressivity of pot but fans of all donf will be served!
the handle is a treat. everything goes easy on and you find yourself spending plan + quickly than in the past.

SOUNDS

rather typical rock and resolutely modern, it will be much more comfortable in large saturation current as well in a light overdrive to SRV.

home, she revived my sleeping in the MT2 Placard
it is precise and bland appearance that was when the gain is low fainted in that attack more severe.

the clean is arbitrary. not bad, not good. on any lamp is better and with a little reverb, chorus or a slight delay discrete, we get a clean acceptable, but funkymen fan or quiet ballads, go your way.

very good or very average, you are warned!

OVERALL OPINION

excellent value for money (ca be found in the 400 - € 500).


a good guitar for modern styles and advice for beginners who find their voice and who wish to change their very first guitar 1st prize.

for the price of one ear, a cort or a squier, it affects the prestige of a brand that I would never home in American ...

The Paul Reed Smith Santana SE is a dual humbucker double cutaway electric with a solid mahogany flat top body, with a body style similar to that of a Fender strat without the tummy cut. The neck is set-in mahogany with a rosewood fretboard and diagonal inlays. Electronically there are two passive PRS humbuckers wired to a three way switch (bridge, neck, and both) and a single volume and single tone knobs. A small pickguard protects the smooth finish from pick marks. The guitar is lightweight with a stop tailpiece (although a tremolo version is available) and has the typical PRS headstock with PRS non locking tuners.

UTILIZATION

The playability and set up of this guitar from the factory is top notch. The action on this guitar can be set very low without fret buzz and the neck seems very stable. The PRS tuners on this guitar hold tune very well and do not need to be upgraded. The guitar is very comfortable to wear and a joy to play. I like a little more weight to my guitars, but after wearing this for a few minutes I almost forget it’s there. Access to the upper frets is great, so soloing is a breeze. The guitar plays nicely up and down the wide-fat neck, chords do not feel cramped. Switches, jacks and hardware are all very nice and the wiring job is very neat. The pickups leave a little to be desired, they lack some clarity and are fairly low to medium output.

SOUNDS

This SE version does not sound like the real deal PRS that I used to own. It does sound and play great for a budget version though. The sound is typical of a PRS, in between a Strat and a LP, but this SE sounds a little thinner. Upgrading the pickups does help add some body to the tone, but the sustain and meat you get from a LP styled guitar with a thicker body can not be exactly replicated. Don’t get me wrong though, this guitar can sound great and really cuts through a dense mix if needed. With a pickup change to some medium output PAF style four wired pickups, a player could add a coil tap and cover anywhere from almost a LP tone to a Strat tone and everything in between.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall this is a very nice guitar with super playability. PRS really puts great effort into their quality control and every PRS guitar I’ve played was a treat in it’s own right. They come straight from the factory with a good setup and only need to be tweaked ever so slightly to match the player. This is not my main guitar, I like LPs, but it’s been my backup for several years now and I’ve played it with no problems other than some tarnish on the bridge. The sound of this guitar is very good, but the playability, style, and craftsmanship is just super. PRS knows what they are doing and even these foreign made guitars stand up to their name. I would suggest anyone looking for a PRS styled guitar to stay away from most of the copies and just get the little brother version of the real thing.

I just give my opinion to APRS spar of this guitar.
The neck and body are mahogany. The handle is al it is a bit round but much less than a les paul.
It is sold with ropes with a deep draft, drle me (though I used the era strings 11-52).

UTILIZATION

THE FIRST big impression when you take it is its weight: it is lgre is a lightweight!
It is well balance, no problem playing either standing or sitting.
The handle is enjoyable, smooth, gliding alone.
CHAC in acute, given the form no problem.

SOUNDS

She has a good sound. It is oriented rock, blues.
It pays well trs crunch (it may be his area of ​​prdilection), clear or distorted. But do not push too hard when the same distortion as it is not for.

OVERALL OPINION

I kept it a year and a half. I'm spar APRS buying a washburn pilsen (mounted with custom Seymour Duncan Custom), I got almost the same as the PRS on putting the washburn pots Volume 8 / 10. But my washburn a micro split so more possibility of o the sale of the PRS.
Otherwise the Santana SE tobacco sunburn is a good guitar trs, trs that sounds good and is played alone. His coat in time (or even new) is unfairly low.
