I appreciate all of the advice. If anyone knows of anyone looking to sell one in the Blue Matteo finish, let me know haha.

The soapbar II Maple isn’t rare, but the blue and green finishes seem to be difficult to find. I have found the tobacco burst but I’m not a fan. Your soapbar is very cool! Interesting finish.

Hello, There seem to be some really interesting rare gear on eBay from Japanese sellers. After some research it seems that most are essentially brokers and use the same pictures and everything from local shops. Has anyone actually bought one from Japan? This guitar is calling my name...

My favorite is my 2005 SE Standard 22. Solid mahogany body and neck, wide fat neck, and SE VB and HFS pickups. This has been my favorite guitar since I bought it in 2005. It probably always will be.

That is pretty pricey. I would probably powdercoat mine before paying that much haha.

It does look like Mannmade offers black tuners. I might look into powder coating the bridge. I really like the bridge design on my guitars.

Thank you! I ordered my camo se in the end of 2005. The shop I ordered it through said it is very likely the last camo se produced!

B-Stock is a brand new model that did not sell. It is a 2017 model year guitar, but I bought it brand new in 2019. Does that make sense? 2017 was the last Korean made stop tail version of the guitar I bought. So I was lucky to find a B-Stock.

Yeah I don’t mind buying new. PRS used to sell Black SE hardware a long time ago. Unfortunately they just sell nickel and gold now. Those other brands are definitely options if I can’t find any PRS hardware. Thank you!

Hey everyone, I bought an SE Custom 22 Semi-Hollow and I love it. However, I do not like all of the chrome hardware. I usually only buy guitars with black hardware like my camo SE. The problem is that I’m having a hard time finding black SE software for sale. When I do find some, they don’t...

I completely agree. I think the main problem is that people like me have an older SE that set the standard for them. The new guitars aren’t that bad for the price point. It is the fact that the old guitars were made well out of their price range.

Absolutely, I think he was referring to my thread that I had referenced. Have you looked into the Multi Foil finish? That guitar is only made in Korea. It’s still considered a Standard 24. I think it is a little bit more expensive due to the finish though.

I wish it would have been shipping damage. The volume pot looked like it could have been shipping damage at first glance. At a closer look it appeared to be cross threaded instead of bent. Which is definitely an installation error. The fret glue also could have only been poor installation. That...

I had a 2018 Indonesian se and it was very poorly made, especially in comparison to my 2005 Korean se. https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/disappointing-quality-se-cu22-semi-hollow.35643/ I sent it back and was lucky enough to find a b-stock 2017 Korean version of my 2018. Just to put it in...

I bought a 2017 Custom 22 Semi Hollow that was manufactured in Indonesia. Having a 2005 Korean Standard 22, I was very much looking forward to this new model. I’m not saying all Indonesian guitars are bad, but mine was not a good example. It had very sloppy fret glue and the volume pot was...
