Sorry. I apparently forgot how to paste in here.

It's been a LONG time. I made a few more of these since this has been posted. The red one and the one with the casings have gone on to be given to Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy as gifts this past October. Here are some more recent ones...

And secondly, I posted this to try and figure out the "why." I wanted to understand where the misconception may be. I understand you may rely on your own logic to make all assessments for yourself, but I like to hear others opinions to form my own understanding. So, in forming my own opinion...

I'll be sure to ask you for validity on posts in the future then. Thanks for your expertise on relevance of questions.

I'm most definitely not looking for negativity. Random comments throughout looking around generated this. Yes, there are a lot of positives to be said in many reviews, but I have seen several that belittled the guitar.

I've never seen a complaint by a "true expert." And, you're correct, it's pretty much mostly people whose idols play other brands. Nobody significant. Ive seen quite a few reviews here and there on retail sites giving them low rating for having to do minor tune ups like intonation and string...

You know, I hadn't given that much thought. You see "S*****, by F*****" and such, but PRS, while they don't put the signature on the headstock, still market them as PRS guitars of the SE line. Excellent point.

You hit exactly on my point and something that ruger did too: comparability by price/quality range. People seem to have no idea that it wasn't designed to compete with the quality of a core model. It was designed to compete with other brands that produce guitars in that specific range, and does...

Very nice. Hey, if people want cores, then get them. Heck, if I had the money, I'd have one too!

I also have a hobby of raising and breeding Labraor Retrievers. Had someone ask why I would spend "so much" ($1200) and drive so far away for a puppy when there were already so many black labs around here. I just flatly said because the dogs around here aren't what I want. You're right, if...

Can I get an Amen?! I honestly wonder how many of the haters have actually played them, as well. And not like a quick hook up to some cheap amp laying out on GC's floor, but legitimately hooked it up to what they would really play and try to squeeze the sound out...

First, if there is another thread on this, please direct me to it. I got to thinking this morning about all of the trash talk I've seen people do on reviews for the SE's... It's saddening really. Numerous times I've browsed and found tons of negative comments regarding many aspects, but...

I emailed PRS to ask a few questions about my 30th Anniversary SE Custom 24. One specific detail they added was that you could tell it was a 30th Anniversary of it had 2 birds at the 12th fret. So, that may explain why it isn't one of the 30th Anniversary colors?

The tunings I play in mainly just depend on my mood at the time and what I want to play. Usually, my 24 SE is in Drop-D (whole step down) and my Tremonti SE is in Open D5 (DADADD) but is set 1/2 step down.
