Around 2008 or so I went out to buy a really nice guitar with P90s. When in the shop, I tried that guitar and liked it. But ears are subjective so I asked for something else to A/B it against. Enter an early Soapbar I, a singlecut guitar with two P90s, volume, tone, wraparound tailpiece and a dark translucent finish that looks black but turns into a sort of purple sunburst when in the light. Well, the expensive guitar I came for stayed the shop while the Soapbar came home. Paid very little for it. By now, it’s been played _a lot_ and the frets have been levelled twice. My SE Soapbar is now in the company of a couple of core-line PRS models but I still play it regularly. Never felt any need to change anything. Plays wonderful, refuses to go out of tune, sounds awesome. Those P90s pups… they just sound right to me. This little giant of a guitar just speaks to me.
Any love here for these pioneers of the SE range?
