Just ordered a 2007 SE Soapbar II Maple in "very good" condition. Of a dozen or so Soapbars out there, this was an easy choice for me becaiuse of its mods. The garish (to me, at least) white pickup covers have been replaced by black ones. The bridge has been replaced with a better adjustable chrome unit. A Series-Parallel switch and a blend control replaced the 3-way pickup selector. I'm looking forward to the blend control. This will be my first PRS with P90s.

I recently experienced P90 pickups and this guitar sounds sweet! Looking forward to pics

I must disappoint on pix. I failed to master the way of posting to this forum. I shall remain pix-free. The guitar looks like any Soapbar II except there is a knob where the three-way had been. There's also a small switch among the controls.

I call BS...you bought an Epiphone and are afraid to say so!

Are you using a 3rd party hosting site for your pics? I use Imgur.

You're in the neighborhood, but I will have to admit to buying a hollowbody stoptail Gretsch with P90s--my first. Love them. I guess it was natural to start hunting a solid body with P90s. The Gretsch also has a two-knob pickup balance system. For me, finding a balance control on a PRS P90 was like finding treasure.
As for pix. When I joined the forum, I got a lot of help from other members but just couldn't get any posted. I just checked my bookmarks and found one for Imgur. If I take another dive, are you available for questions?

Check out the Help thread in the main topics list above. Imagur looks a bit challenging at first but it's not that crazy. Just so much more than I needed but it works fine.

Congrats on the NOGD

My first PRS was a circa 2005 SE Soapbar II, all mahogany. Still have it, still love it. The maple top on yours will make it even a bit brighter, which I think will sound *very* good. Enjoy!
