How fast do you think the 35th Anniversary SEs will sell out?

[NBW]

I really want one as it checks all the boxes for me. It’s quite a bit for me to spend on an axe and I am trying to scrape the money together. I might even trade in my Mustang on it.

 

[shimmilou]

Probably faster than you can get in your preorder.

Am I missing something? Are the extraordinarily expensive??

Limited to 3500 built

$900 is still a lot of money for some people.

Ahhhh, ok.

$900 is still a lot of money for some people.

Oh, I get that (and ended up sounding like a d***) but with the OP saying he was gonna trade a car to get one, I was thinking they were MUCH higher than a normal SE.

I’m assuming he may have meant a Fender Mustang.

Ha! Hey, at least you have an excuse.... I’m dumb for no reason.

To be fair, you may be stupid, but you’re certainly not dumb.

Yeah, I’m too consistent at it to be dumb.

Dumb and stupid are a little too harsh. More likely an idiot. I speak from being one myself,

Fender Mustang is correct. A ‘71, which is worth way more than Dave’s will give me in trade. My daughter will be pissed as she has some kind of fixation with the Mustang. $1000 isn’t endow the world money for me, but I can’t easily justify having more than three guitars.

More guitars (especially PRS) equals more happiness....

I had a '60 Duo Sonic that I totally loved. There is something really killer about those 3/4 size Fenders. I can understand your daughter's fixation with the Mustang. They are comfortable, fun, and sound really good with primitive effects. The tones are very organic, earthy, and raw - especially with heavy overdrive.

 

[elvis]

Why, oh why are they 24???

 

[Andy80]

Why 3500? I thought it was just whatever the order window was.

 

[markd21]

@elvis - what, the Mustang/Duo Sonic, etc? That size, and short scale was what the "old people" thought was a good size/scale for students - reduced tension, shorter necks, thinner easier to manage bodies. I like the 24" scale - I can do some WICKED bends, lol.

Or, do you mean 24 frets on the PRS 35 SE instead of 22? I feel you there. I am not a big fan of the CU24....

 

[elvis]

The 35. I went through an "i only play 24 fret guitars" period for many years. I have enough of them already.

Well, give her the guitar, and then you'll only have 2.
