This PRS SE Hollowbody II is my first PRS. Needs a little pickup height adjustment and better intonation on the D and high E strings. Other than that I'm really liking the new guitar.

Funny story. I used an online guitar dealer first to acquire my PRS SE Hollowbody II, and what they sold me as "new" came to me worn and torn with a dinged up metal tailpiece and the pickup selector switch broken off. It looked like a thousand people played it. So that one got returned and I found an actual brand new one more local to me. There are noticeable differences between the two individual guitars. The one on the left got returned and the one on the right is the keeper. :)

 
Thank you. I don't have a trophy wife but my guitar likes attention and I love being nice to it. Not just because it's pretty, it's a player's guitar. I think PRS does an awesome thing all around, including with these SE's. To close one's eyes and not 'feel' a 'cheap guitar', yet open those eyes and not see anything objectionable. I'm just thankful that this is what I was able to afford at the moment. PRS did not make itself look bad, obviously making a statement as a guitar company that, 'yea, we can hook you up pretty well on the lower end and you'll like us for it.' Someday when I have bigger amounts of cheese I'll step up further, meanwhile I'm very happy and impressed with this guitar. A lot of things about it just show quality control that's good even overseas and all. One thing I can immediately mention is a great fret job. Level, level. Very level. I've handled guitars from other companies that cost 6x as much that had questionable fret work, so much that going low and level on the action with very limited relief how I like it is undoable without major overhaul. This guitar did not limit me in my options, it made everything I like available, and I love it for that. I just finished tweaking this after the first string change. Pretty low on the action, just the slightest amount of relief / slightest touch of frontbow / a hair forward from straight. Maximum ease of playing. Feels and sounds great. (If I play it well.) ;)

I'm pretty sure you'll love your guitar as well!

And of course I turned mine into the Yin-Yang Guitar.
