Continuing my sporadic and not very thorough tone report:
Took it to band practice last night, where we played a little outside our usual set-list, in terms of both style and actual songs.
Some notes:
The Special Semi-Hollow Ltd (SSH Ltd?) can get a pretty good emulation of an acoustic guitar sound using position 1 (that's bridge position, right?), pickup tapped, going into a BodyRez pedal into a Fishman Aura into an acoustic amp. Some electric guitars can never get a good acoustic sound no matter what pedals or settings you use - this one was close enough (according to bandmates, comparing to actual unplugged acoustic guitar). I should compare to one of my piezo-equipped PRSi next time I get a chance (I'd bypass the BodyRez i that case).
This SSH Ltd is very easy to dial in certain tones that are in my head. For one of our songs I wrote the main guitar riff/rhythm pattern using my RL Vela, both pickups, with HB in single-coil mode. I found a tone "really darned close" on the SSH Ltd really quickly: position 4, HB tapped. I just went straight there - zero struggling to find the right combo. In retrospect, you'd think it should have been position 2, maybe, but 4 just sounded right.
One of my bandmates usually plays fiddle, but he also plays guitar and mandolin and banjo etc. He asked to play the SSH Ltd. Did some familiar stuff, and zeroed in on The Ventures Walk Don't Run tone very quickly (using a nice wash of reverb, of course!).
He asked me if I like my action high. I said, no, not really, why? I guess stock PRSi action is higher than he was used to. I have some guitars with lower action, set up when I was younger and thought I'd be more of a shredder than I am. I guess I've settled into the factory set up of PRS, which isn't quite as low as it can go.
Nonetheless, after about 10 minutes he said "OK, I want one!". I told him whenever he wants to go PRS shopping I can help him navigate the models and lines, and he can play any of mine to get a feel for what the various models might offer.
Heh, another convert...
Well, I learned from him!Sergio could learn about enabling from you...

Earlier in this thread I noted:
So...he bought a PRS! SE CU22 in Whale Blue (that's me with the subject of this thread):
He says it will be his only PRS...bwa ha ha ha ha!
Thanks! It really is a really nice color/stain job.Congratulations- that guitar is stunning! I don't believe I've ever seen that color- beautiful.

That...is...stunning!
Thanks folks! It plays very nicely, as do all PRSi, and I continue to appreciate all the different tones I can get out of it.Sweetness to the Maximus!!!
