    NGD - SE Zach Myers 594

    I’ve had this for a week now and as usual, my research paid off. It’s everything I wanted out of it. The finish is awesome and I really like the contrast of the plain mahogany back. The fretboard is nice and it’s very playable. This semi hollow definitely sounds different from my SE Custom 24...

    Can anyone help with nut and locking tuner recommendations on my new SE Zach Myers

    I’m confused. I read a lot of posts on this and there is often reference to drilling. I don’t do my own work on guitars, just want to have the best setup possible. First, everyone seems to dislike the tuners on the SE Zach Myers. But I thought I read somewhere that they were improved for 2023...

    Which SE has the least bright tone?

    Update …I chose the ZM based on scale length, looks, neck, different pickups etc. NGD entry coming soon. Thx for the suggestions.

    Which SE has the least bright tone?

    Thanks all. I’ll prob take one of those suggested after I decide how warm I need the tone to be,. The ZM would be more versatile, scale length more like my LP and is a sharp looker. People seem to rave about the hollowbody finish. Both have a wide fat neck and there is no shop in the three...

    Which SE has the least bright tone?

    Thanks. How’s the feedback with one of those? I play in a small room and the amp is pretty close. Katana 50. Not really high volume much. Looks like they only come in one color

    Which SE has the least bright tone?

    I have an SE custom 24 and really like it. Next I’d like one with a less bright, fuller sound. So maybe a semi? Zach Myers? I’m used to Les Paul so maybe something that feels like one? something with different pickups than what I have.

    Locking tuners for SE

    Thx. Will try the nut and new strings first. Right now, doesn’t hold tune for three songs.

    Locking tuners for SE

    Got my new SE Custom 24 recently. I really like it but expected it to stay in tune better based on reviews. I’ve got maybe 20 hours on it. So I guess I’ll get the the locking tuners when I have it set up. Also thinking about 9.5 strings to replace the 9s. Recommend the PRS tuners vs other brand...

    Is SE 24 playing position (fret hand) more away from your body than a 22 fret model?

    Wow. Really appreciate all the input. I really wanted the look to hit me. And I wanted it in stock from my fav online shop. Next, I didn’t want something like 9.5 pounds. I actually played a 22 semihollow and love it. But not the colors. I got to see the transparent blue locally but it wasn’t as...

    Is SE 24 playing position (fret hand) more away from your body than a 22 fret model?

    Whoops. Someone bought the one I wanted before I hit the button. So I’m very limited if my criteria is wide/thin neck, 22 frets and finding a color I want. I love the look of the SE custom 24 Black/gold burst but still not sure whether a 24 would feel as long necked as my SG. Sounds like some...

    Silver Sky SE

    I handled one yesterday but didn’t plug in. It was the most comfortable of the SE’s I tried. Going for a different model though as limited colors that just weren’t what I was looking for.

    Is SE 24 playing position (fret hand) more away from your body than a 22 fret model?

    I never stand so usually rest the guitar on my thigh in the cutaway. So the key measurement is how far from the center of the bottom cutaway to the nut. But hey, nobody measure that. Now have to decide on the 24 or my original pick, a Mark Tremonti charcoal burst. It’s 22 frets, but weighs 8.5...
