2003 SE EG SSS Trem - Metallic Red, "Candy"
Long story short, I have been through numerous SE EGs over the past few years. I get a few, then I ache for a "real" strat, then I get rid of them, and I get a "real" strat, and stratalikes, and then they sit, and I get rid of them for another PRS, and then I miss having a Strat. Sorta.
So this popped up @ Dave's in Wisconsin a few days ago. I'd had SE EG stoptails and trems, in all varieties of color, but I always wanted a red metallic SSS trem. Couldn't believe the price. BOOM!
This is probably the best one I've ever had. I don't think there's a mark on her, and she sounds and feels like I wanted her to. I have some Grover 406Cs incoming, and I will most likely 2000NOS her...very excited.
BONUS - if you've seen Dave's site, he's blowing out some old PRS b-stock hardshell cases. They are the older kind with the round keyhole sliders on both outer locks, but who cares...they kept the SE gig bag and let me have the PRS HSC for 75 bucks!!! Case looks brand new, have no idea why these would be "B" stock, suspect they were just a bunch of older cases that Paul & co had lying around, and Dave said "sure, I'll take 'em."
So, now I have a lovely HSC for Amber (my lovely CE24) and Candy here has a very nice gig bag from the CE.
Now I really have to start saving
