And Instagram. Bit disappointed in the colour choices (so far).

I’ll take a take a Dragon Fruit!

2-point trem on the SE. I've never been a fan of that but I'll be interested to see how it works.

I like that one and am drawn to the Moon White, as well....something just seems kinda classic about it.

Wonder if they'll ever bring the maple board to the SE line. No doubt these are gonna sell like crazy, though....

2-point trem on the Fiore too, so I assume they have applied some lessons learned there.

Good good, prices of the US one will drop on the used market..

Those aren't colors I would jump to buy, but they are very different from the rest of the SE line-up, and actually different enough from the "core" (?) Mayer model. That Moon White (faded yellow) is very interesting looking.

2 point trems have been used successfully on many many many guitars.

Still zero info non pricing right?
Will it be $999? $799?

Lol. You mean like how used Core 594s are so cheap because of the S2 line-up? Not so much. Instead, I can see a price-hike for the US model, which will float used prices higher, to make room for the SE price point, which I predict will be similar to the price point of the SE HB II piezo model.

I didn't know that. The Fiore is outside my wheelhouse so I never paid that much attention. I assume PRS know what they're doing with this one. Thankfully they didn't ask for my input or there never would have been the original SS. I thought it would crash and burn. Happy to be wrong about that one.

Completely agree!

maybe you are right... will see how good the pickups are on the SS SE

I'm sure that's true. My personal preference is a 6-point trem with 7.25" radius. The changes won't prevent me from giving one a look though.

Meh, the colors look cheap - no depth. I'm still going to check one out. I always liked banana yellow. It's the Yngwie influence, lol...

Now I totally want to see a Philip McKnight video comparing the SE version against the American made Silver Sky models.

It makes zero difference what the radius is (if that’s what you meant?).

Personally I don’t care how many contact points a trem has, as long as it works, and that’s more to do with whether it’s setup correctly rather than the actual number.

I’ll save you the wait. Pretty sure it was him who said “SE guitars are not real PRS guitars”, so....

I’ll judge it on it’s own merits, and if any comparisons are drawn it’ll be with other guitars in its price point, not with ones that costs twice as much (I’m guessing).

Pretty sure he mentions him because of his comparison between the core 594 and S2 594.
