Hello another newbie here! I just bought my 1st PRS in may at the Music Experience while attending "Rock On The Range". I was'nt looking for a guitar at the time and when I saw the finish on the SE Standard 24 multi-foil I felt I had to try it. It played great and did not take long to start jones'n for the guitar. I know some thumb their noses at the SE models but the guitar felt great. I went home that night and couldn't take my mind off of it and was hoping it would be there the next day. I went back and had to pull the trigger, got a nice deal.($669.00 no flaws,SN# R29001) less than I could get at the major retailers. Now I am looking at my next PRS purchase can't wait to own another. My other guitars are: 1981 Gibson Fling "V", 1986 Charvel model 3 modded over the years, LTD ec10 that I made into a project guitar w/ Seymour Duncans ,new electronics(sounds sweet and plays well). My Bass is a 80's Charvel w/ quarter pounders in it(for recording). My amp or amps of choice are Marshall JCM 800 stack (1981 sole owner) Marshall JCM 800 2x12 combo (2nd owner).
