NGD - SE Orianthi

[SausageofPower]

I always worry when blind-ordering a guitar with a flame top because I'm incredibly picky, but this one looks amazing. My shitty camera doesn't really pick it up, but it looks great. And as always I love the wide-thin profile. It's effortless to play.

And I got it for nearly 50% because it's a discontinued model. Awesome.

wide thin is my favorite too. what sets this one apart from a Cu24?

 

[SausageofPower]

Korina body instead of mahogany and ebony fingerboard instead of rosewood. And obviously there's an "O" inlay at the 12th fret, which is probably the least annoying artist-specific inlay I've seen personally (it almost looks like a moon, which given PRS inlay history seems appropriate on some level).

Nice guitar !! Thats the only SE signature I have never had my hands on. I know what you mean about buying a guitar you have never held or seen in person..Great that you weren't disappointed !

Definitely. I opened the box and was completely in love with it. I had another guitar that I got recently (an ESP LTD Elite) that is an amazing guitar too, but the top at first didn't do it for me. It was the last of a discontinued model as well and I didn't want to give it up and thankfully I grew to love it (not every top is a 10 of course, and it plays great), but this one looks great and plays great too.

If you're interested in this model, now is a good time to shop. It appears to be a buyer's market for these (which I find amusing because, discontinued or not, it's a great and unique model).

Bangin'!!!

I say it every chance I get, I love my SE "O"!

discontinued or not, it's a great and unique model.

It really is... The combo reminds me tonally of a CE: snappy and articulate with just enough body.

I think it looks like a crescent moon more than an "O" .. I like it. It really makes the 12th jump out!

That is the best looking Orianthi sig model I've ever seen!
