I bought one of the PRS SE Custom 22 with crescent moon inlays. Out of all the guitars I've tried and owned it is probably still my favourite. Sadly, the frets have worn considerably from all my playing over the years, so I'm now evaluating whether to refret or buy a replacement guitar with the characteristics I like.
I would really appreciate anyone who can tell me more about this guitar or point me in the direction of a spec sheet, in particular I want to know what wood the body is made out of because the feel / weight and the tone are both perfect (for me).
A few things about it:
It's a very lightweight body, which I have become accustomed to and it's something which keeps me coming back to it, alongside the tone.
When unplugged, it's the loudest guitar I own - due to the maple top?
It looks like the newer SE Customs use mahogany, judging from other guitars I own that are much heavier, I don't think my SE is mahogany, I don't like how mahogany feels and prefer the tone of my SE to guitars I've tried.
Nickel frets, hence the fretwear
Crescent Moon inlays
I think the finish is cherry flame sunburst or something to that effect
I can't see the full serial number but it begins with 11 62
I don't remember what year it was bought, but if the first number is the year, then 2011 would sound about right. However, I searched using 2011 and didn't find much concrete info on Google.
I can get a picture if you need it, or more info!
Thanks in advance
