New SE’s!!! HB,HBII, Starla, and Mira?!?!

[Antmax]

Pre-orders are already up on Reverb and other certain retailers. Your guess was a bit high for the range of the Standard vs the HB II. And that is all we shall say about MAP/retail pricing.

Sweet, that kind of pricing I can stretch to. Amazing value especially when they come with Hard case too.

Holy crap, Batman!!!!!! This is BIG news. Very, very cool!

The bone nuts are a nice touch on the HB’s too... and ebony boards and binding? Sheesh.

Are Jack and Paul in a battle or something? The Mira and Starla are like a warning shot over the bow to the S2 line... All they gotta do is put some nicer/bigger frets on these SE’s and the locking tuners and... S2 who?

Did you see the SE locking tuners you can buy from them for $95?

Edit: just saw the thread about them. Only been waiting 12 years for these.

I don't need another HBII, but still, these look amazing.

Really love both the HB models. I just ordered an HB Spruce, but I could definitely see this being a nice backup for seedier places.

Also, IMHO, I actually prefer the look of the SE Starla to the S2 version. The split tones out of the bridge pickup sound very Tele-esque too. Lots to love out of this announcement!

“Metallica Green” is gonna get them sued if that’s the real color name...

Looks like they fixed the color name in the article. lol

According to their Tweet - there's more coming, but we don't know when...

"Meet our first wave of 2020 products!"
​

I'm with @sergiodeblanc on used SE Starlas. I'm liking fatter necks these days, and the SE Mira will likely be skinny like the other SE 'Wide Thins'.

There's absolutely no way I can pass on a hollowbody, unless I get struck by lightning.

 

[shimmilou]

The hollowbody seems interesting. Just when I thought I had all the SEs that I wanted.

 

[pac90]

Hollowbody standard, yes please!

Wish it was S2 for the neck profile etc but still.....happy days

 

[drawshot]

I can't get it out of my weak-@$$ head.

HB-II, in Tri-Color Sunburst, with new SE Locking Tuners, Black Leather PRS Strap, and my Blue Chip TD35 pick...plugged into my MXR-loaded board.

I think I just made the leap into manhood. I can feel new hairs growing in odd places. (Nose and ears, mainly.....but still!)

There goes my plan for new pads and rotors on the truck. Bus pass, here I come!!!!!

Pre-order is placed.

She will be mine.

Oh, yes. She will be mine.

BIGSBYS FOR ALL!!

What's the main difference between the Standard and HBII..besides colors? Can one of you nice people educate me?

The Standard is 5 ply mahogany top/back, and the other is 5 ply maple top/back

 

[markd21]

DUDE!!!!! I am getting a HBII and that new Starla. I am already jonesing like a junkie.....

 

[Tim S]

They come with hard cases? Woo-Hoo!

My wife has approved — “You don’t have a hollowbody, do you?”

There’s a Standard in my future. (But waiting to hear what’s new in S2-land)

 

[ScottR]

These are all KILLER! AND Locking SE tuners...fogetaboutit!


Man! Now wouldn't some 57/08 "S"s hidden like a BB Gun behind a living room curtain, make this just the greatest day ever!?!?!

 

[pauloqs]

I want one of the hollow bodies!!!

 

[pauloqs]

How much do you think those HB's will cost. I reckon they will enroach on S2 pricing and be in the $1100 - $1500 price range.

I think that's a good guess. I also wonder what will be the neck construction on those.

I got the email while I was at work, I just about stepped on my lower lip running to the bathroom. O M G! gorgeous guitars!
