Did you buy that from the Guitar Center Used section? There was one in there that I was sorely tempted to try, especially since they have the 180 day return policy.

I have an older Tremonti SE, with the K serial number; I think it's a 2010 model. It has the wide fat neck. Not sure when the Tremonti SE's started using the wide thin necks. Mine has the bird inlays -- I think it was the first year they did the bird inlays in the SEs. It's such a nice...

Hang on, @gaia, I might have given you some bad info. I think the SE needs a 7mm truss rod wrench and not a 5/16". Sorry for the confusion. I take it no truss rod wrench came in the gig bag with your lovely SE245? Don't they play nice? I fall in love with my Tremonti SE every time I play it.

Hi Gaia, if it's like my Tremonti SE, it's a 5/16" wrench.

I know next to nothing about DGTs, so I’ll leave you in the more than capable hands of the forum members for that. alantig’s search suggestion is a good tip. Another way is to enter something like this in google.com: DGT site:forums.prsguitars.com Happy hunting!

Hi Michi, When I started playing guitar a couple of years ago, I found a used Tremonti SE in my local music shop. It’s a similar guitar to the SE 245 that you’re considering— singlecut all mahogany body, dual humbuckers, stop tail. When I told my brother, who’s been playing guitar for over...

I saw a craigslist ad for a 2 month old Katana 100 mkii for $200. I thought it’d be long gone, but I responded to the ad anyway. Turns out I was the second to respond, and the first guy wasn’t able to get there until the next day. I went, checked it out, and am such a wheeler dealer that I told...

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming... I bought the SE locking tuners and a core nut, which I had installed on my PRS SE Tremonti. Perfect fit, and the tuners are nice and smooth. The nut was a nice addition -- I haven't heard any pinging when I tune the G string, which...

I just bought a set of the locking tuners for my 2010 PRS SE Tremonti. I know they're a direct replacement, but I'm going to have a trusted luthier do the work. While they're replacing the tuners, what other work would you recommend? Replacing the nut? If so, which nut would you recommend...

Nice! I have a Merlin Camena, which was also designed by Tom Kellogg. It got me thru the 5 passes of the Death Ride a few years ago. I’m hoping to make a cycling comeback one of these days. In the meantime, learning to play the guitar is happily taking up most of my spare time.

This is probably wrong of me to ask, but curiosity has gotten the better of me: what bicycle frameset did you sell? (If I had to place a bet, I’d say it’s some kind of boutique titanium frame.) Nice guitar! I’m glad that you found a way to adjust to it and hope it gives you many years of happiness!

Your wife is right — that IS pretty! Glad it was waiting for you to take it home!

That settles it. I have no idea who Winger is and I’m not googling them.

Um....hello? PRS-owning, guitar-playing woman reporting for duty! I was lucky enough to find a used PRS SE Tremonti once I realized I was going to stick with learning the guitar. I would have been a fool not to buy it, and I'm no fool! I play it every day, and I'm always blown away by what a...

Happy NGD! I kept checking yesterday to see how I went, but I guess good things come to those who wait. I got a little confused when you referred to it as an SE early in the review, but after a little more coffee, I was able to figure it out. ;-) Enjoy your new guitar -- I'm looking forward...
