Sucker for Squabbins
That's right my friends, this is a new headstock day!
Let me just preface this by saying after having the new SE Holcomb for a month or so, it has become my #1....Now I can't say (at the moment) that I have any Private stock, artist or wood library guitars, but I have some really nice core electrics. Custom 24, 25th SAS, Studio...But this Holcomb is right up there with my US guitars.
Here's where I get a little nit picky....
I also have/had quite a few SE models, and love them all. For the price point, I believe there is no better option on the market. The build quality, playability, and athstetics are about as good as it gets for that kind of coin. My big "gripe" is the headstock decals.... I understand there needs to be some level of differentiation between American & Korean made guitars, but maybe something with more PRS branding would make the guitars look nicer. Again, this is just my opinion but I'd love to see a PRS logo of some sort. It doesn't have to be like the US signature, but even the logo on this forum would be an upgrade.
Now even though it's not an expensive, rare or collectors type guitar, I will keep this SE Holcomb for the rest of my life. So I decided to do a little modification to the headstock. I used a matte vinyl overlay with a PRS logo also cut out of vinyl. I left out the trademark R, again I want to reiterate I am taking this guitar to the grave with me and would never use the PRS logo for my own personal gain other than athstetically for my own guitars.
Lastly, I'd really love to put on the faux bone tuners as I think it would compliment the white binding & logo. Does anyone know if the phase 2 or 3 DGT buttons would fit onto the SE tuners?
