Flexible Paul Reed SmithSignature Guitar
With the PRS SE Paul's Guitar CH Charcoal, Paul Reed Smith presents the SE version of his personal Signature guitar, in which the experience gained over more than three decades in guitar construction and sound design is concentrated. Based on the established doublecut design, PRS relies on a mahogany construction with a set "Wide Fat" neck and a "Violin Carve" maple top with a chic curly maple veneer. Two split PRS TCI "S" humbuckers are used as pickups, which promise an enormous variety of sounds for almost any style between jazz, Blues and rock. Last but not least, the SE Paul's Guitar Turquoise by PRS has a wraparound bridge and PRS Vintage-Style tuners.
After 45 years+ playing Fender, i thought i would give the PRS SE a try. I liked the look of the SE Paul's guitar, and after buying one and using it for around a month, i cannot believe how good the build quality is on what is supposed to be a " budget PRS " ! The neck is flatter than what i am used to and is extremely comfortable to play. I have owned Gibsons over the years but never really liked the thick sound they produce, this PRS on the other hand has the out of phase tone switches for both pickups and can have a truly great clean sound without trimming using the volume pot. Cannot recommend this guitar enough, Blue Peter Badge and a Crackerjack pencil to DV247 for making it so easy to purchase online, as i am a long way from the nearest store.
