Is that what trolls eat?
Just because someone makes a point you don't like, doesn't make them a troll.

Mike didn't sell it to me
That's a historical guitar. I'm surprised he cut it loose. Congrats!

What you made was a declarative statement based on opinion, repeatedly. We got your opinion.
You've determined it's an American made SE, but I haven't seen a picture of the one you own, or played, or built.
You know, there are a lot of interesting threads here. Many members have some awesome SE mods. There's a song title game. and not least of all, Private Stock Friday.
You might find something interesting enough to post about in one of those. Join the rest of the fun. :biggrin:

I just did the math on how much it would cost to upgrade an SE to S2 spec... The S2's are an incredible deal!
For many people, the company that actually built the guitar is a huge deal. PRS is not forcing anyone to purchase an S2. They are merely offering a lower cost Maryland-made alternative to the SEs. There are many guitarists who will not purchase a PRS-branded World Musical Instruments guitar.
As an aside: I remember all of the hate that was directed at PRS when they first introduced the PRS Electric (a.k.a. the CE24). Most guitarists saw the PRS Electric as the SE of the day. People loved how they played, but no one wanted a bolt-on PRS, especially when the retail cost differential between the PRS Electric and a no-frills Custom 24 was around $450.00 to $500.00. What did PRS do in response to lackluster sales? They tweaked the specs, resulting in the CE becoming one PRS' most successful models. The tops on the early maple-topped CEs were nothing to write home about. In fact, some of the tops on the early CEs were butt ugly, but the product improved over time. I suspect that the same thing will happen with the S2 models.

yeah, but one may be soft and chewy while the other one is brittle and crumbly. Plus it will be someone else mixing up the other batch. Difference could be night and day.
That's an interesting pronouncement to make without ever having played one or seen one in person.
And by "interesting" I don't mean to imply that it's a particularly intelligent thing to say, under circumstances where you have no experience with one whatsoever. And neither do the rest of us.
