Just seen this advertised.

Liking the contrast between the black top and light wood back. No other differences apart from changing the zebras to black pups. Not sure I can use this is a robust justification for another guitar though

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I am sorry, gotta say “ No” on this one.. I personally think it cheapens the look of the guitar..Kind a like a beer ad guitar..

Now you’ve pointed that out, I can’t unsee this. That’s a justification not to make another purchase

Mr. DeBlanc @sergiodeblanc , what’s your reaction?

I have a feeling the "All guitars are trash" thread requires a re-visit . . . .

Not for me, no, no, no, no, no

It's one of those that will either sell so few it will be worth a fortune, or one that nobody will ever want.

 

[aphantomvaper]

I like it.

 

[Axis39]

I'd hit that.

Although, no way I can justify a guitar with the same specs and stuff as one I already own, even if it is black....

Price ain't terrible. Especially if I look at some of the stuff the big companies are putting out for a lot more money these days.

While my love for Santana shaped guitars is well known, this one is a pass for me. I just don't dig "decals" on the top of my guitars.

 

[Utkarsh]

Haha I was looking for an excuse to get a Santana but couldn't justify a core with everything else that has been going on. So the timing of this is perfect. Looks are subjective. I actually like the look of this one

Mr. DeBlanc @sergiodeblanc , what’s your reaction?

Uhhh… I really dig them painting the top and leaving the back and sides natural. Not crazy about the graphic…

I like these better:

Even though I’m considering letting it go.

I do like the look more than the original.
I think I could enjoy it with the graphic painted on. Maybe Pamelina.

I go back and forth on this one. I really want a Santana but can't justify the core prices and the colors of the new SE aren't for me. At first I said no way, not one for logos on anything besides T-shirts. Then I sorta liked it and even had it in my cart. Now I'm more or less indifferent.

Agreed, when I first saw it I looked past the graphics, the black top and natural back and sides drew me to it (makes note to search for PRS with black top, natural back and sides). As others have said difficult to justify with the same specs as the normal model.......Surprises me but this seems to be a bit of a Marmite guitar

Me. Exactly (except for putting one in my cart)

I was on Daves in full GAS mode. Luckily a couple more caught my attention, and I realized GAS was in charge not me. Quickly left the site and played my guitars to be thankful for what I have.

Good GOD is that a fine looking axe !
