Can you make custom order requests on SE guitars?

[Ruben Bernard]

The title kinda says it all. I'm about to describe my entire thought process but this is all hypothetical. I don't actually want to make a custom order I'm too broke for that lmaoooooo, I'm more just curious.
I want a guitar with a Floyd rose and the 24 is cool so I know what I'll be getting. But I'm a massive fan of the Tremonti, it is the perfect perfect guitar for me. Both my tremontis are great, so you can probably guess where this is going. Custom order a Tremonti with a FR on it, that'd be cool. Is that possible? Surely it must be cheaper than a custom order on a core model. Anyone know?

Others who know will verify, but I think “No.” SE is priced as it is because it is a “high volume, lower price, every one is (ideally) the same as the last one” operation.

Sometimes dealers can get special runs of an SE model, but they usually consist of different pickups or a non-standard color. They don’t actually change any specs of the model.

And I would like a SE Pauls guitar with the 2408 neck please.

You can't even change the specs on a Core model, though dealers can commission limited wood library runs.

No..the idea of the se is to provide a good guitar at a more reasonable entry price. You could have it modified after purchase though. Find a used one and have it done.

The core Tremonti has additonal route for the trem though.

They will do anything you want if you throw enough money at them.

You can have a local luthier do the work for you.

Actually, they won’t.

 

[Tosca]

Maybe…as long as you don’t want a hard case with it…

Assuming someone is willing to pay for the service, Is there any reason the PTC wouldn’t customize a SE?

It would be counter intuituve to offer a custom SE . Look at the wait times on PS .. Your local Luthier is your best bet if you want that , most will build whatever you want .. that is what we live for .

It's a pipe dream anyhow. PRS wouldn't take a custom se order, PTC might, a big big might, do the work afterwards, but the cost wouldn't make much sense to me. Local Luther is the way to go all the way.

I know they won't.
I was just being an a$$hole.
