Best SE ever?

SE Fiore...no, wait!?!

I know, there were only ten choices allowed, couldn't get em all on the list

I did not vote for the Bernie cos it’s no more in production, though the thread title does mention “ever”. I have the highest regard for my SE 594’s due to their great inherent tone. I love those guitars dearly. However when I compare them back to back with my Bernie, the Bernie edges it slightly. Just that bit more deep woody sounding.

The Bernie is the undisputed King of my SE roost. Some of the private stocks are shifting bums nervously. I have to console them.

SE Fiore...no, wait!?!

I bet that's in the pipeline.

I have a black version of this guitar. Love it!

Well of course I biasedly voted for my guitar. Admittedly limited experience with any others but I do love my axe.

For me, it’s the humble Soapbar II. It was the second of my many SE purchases. It does everything I want and nothing that I don’t want — all while remaining stock.

Take the pickguard off the SE NF3 and make it HSS, and you've got something that looks an awful lot like an SE Fioré.

I would bet that and an SE NF53 are in the pipeline in the next couple of years.

Also, NUGD, SE SAS, another outstanding guitar. This one is so unique with the middle pup and special switching, excellent sound options. I got this one used, and so far no fret sprout, and no issues at all. Matched with my Hot Rod Deluxe, it sounds just wonderful, bright and clear, percussive and touch sensitive, a real joy to play. This might be a close second to the DGT IMO

That SAS is sweet! Very classy.

Cannot believe only one vote for the Chris Robertson.

I love my SE DGT, but I never play it. Turns out, despite its ugliness, that I prefer the SE594 I have with Core 58/15LT pickups and wiring. It is the primary guitar in my recorded tone.

My DGT rarely comes out if I'm doing something that needs a smooth lead sound. It's pretty much relegated to recording leads, lol. That puts the DGT into my "color box", along with 8 other guitars that live in cases unless I need that "color".

My SE HB2 piezo has been seeing a ton of action lately. My band's current track is 80% HB2 piezo. I am enjoying the thick tone.

Here are a couple of examples:

This track is SE 594 with a Bogner Uberschall on the left and a Fender 51 through the Uber and an Orange Rockerverb on the right.

This track just went to the vocalist, so it's not done. However it's most SE HB2 piezo for the acoustic guitars and two heavy tracks, with one 594 track and the 51 used for the leads and one heavy track.

Meh, I'll post that track later. Having some tech issues here at work.

Ok, here's the other track...
