EU Gets SE One Reissue?!?!

This is downright Un-American.

Yep. This was mentioned in the other "new releases" thread, but probably deserves a thread of its own.

I do wonder why the EU+UK (pronounced "eee-yuke", I declare) gets these limited runs - wouldn't it be more cost effective to do a bigger run and include the US market? Or does PRS wish to leverage the higher price range of the EU-UK for limited runs and not dilute that with the lower costs expected in the US? And/or it would cannibalize existing sales trends in the US?

Luckily no new colors. Has the adjustable bridge now. (But that's not enough to add another One)

Oh snap! I didn’t see that.

I'm thankful it's not being offered in the US. I already have a Soapbar, Soapbar II and 245 Soapbar (all SE). I'd have a hard time justifying another SE Soapbar-ed guitar to the missus.

I could use another One...

I'd look for another Korina with birds to keep original.

That's the One I'd like to add one day, just for the binding and birds (and the black Abraxas)

I'm a definite bird wh*re so it was a no brainer when I found mine. Plus it was priced pretty well too. A few upgrades later and it still a rock machine!

A One for all, I say!

Relieved they didn't change it much. This way I won't want a new one.

I owned one of the special run models with birds and binding. Unfortunately what gets classified as "Wide-Fat" nowadays doesn't equate. I gave it to the other guitarist in our band.

Well, that’s a kick in the Yankees! They're all korina, too...no hog model. There’d better not be a Brit home without one!

Very cool upgrades, bit pricey

I’ll eat yours then, except we call them Chups!

One thing is for sure, you don't see used SE Ones out there for sale on the cheap anymore.

My One is a cold-dead-fingers guitar.

 

[Bowtiefanatc]

In my naive days I didn’t think much of them. Now that I have one it’s a total different story. Such great rock machines.

They can do a shorter run, and test market models in the EU. IE- the Chris Robinson, SE custom 24 maple, and now the SE one. If it’s not a success, they don’t have to let them go at a discounted price because there won’t be extras. Standard marketing technique.

So I guess I bought mine at the right time....... 50 years from now I'm siiting on a goldmine

EveryOne should own a One at One time or another!
