When the body breaks in, you should have a sound that gives you more wood.
That’s what she sai......
OK, no more in January!

That is indeed a ringing endorsement.So just a quick update...got the SE locking tuners, unplated brass studs and new NYXLs on her.
I got the PRS brand locking tuners because they have the unplated shafts. I love MannMade stuff but John's look to be plated. Got the studs from John. You know...oldskewel rulez of tone junkie here.
Anyway, these were mostly personal preference mods and nothing has dissuaded me from the opinion that the SE HB Standard is a truly phenomenal out-of-the-box axe.
It's the first non-Core PRS that I can say gun-to-the-head honest can hang with a Core 100% tone, feel, etc.
A / B / C with a PRS SSH and 97 Gibby Nashville 345 (which is just otherworldly) and it just delivers. Obviously there's alot of differences between the three, construction, scale length, fret size, bling, etc. But no concessions.
In fact, truth be told, while the stock burstbuckers on the 345 are amazing under gain in that guitar, the clean tones in the SEHB were clearer and woodier. And the weight and ergonomics make it a much more comfy experience for me. It sounds much bigger than it is!
I am trying to get pics hosted differently. Technology has not been my friend recently.Damn, can only see the box pic for some reason. The SE HB standard really piques my interest though. The demos I’ve heard sound fantastic.
That is incredibly nice.
Thanks! I have NO idea what I'm doing wrong, but hopefully I'll figure it out soon It is some really nice figuring, front and back. 6.2 lbs of airy goodness even with the slightly heavier locking tuners.
