PRS SE 85/15s

[Alnus Rubra]

So I've found a set of PRS SE 85/15's on ebay and I'm considering having a dabble.

I'm looking for advice and any experience that forum members may have used them.

I know that the USA versions don't come up for sale often, so I thought they may give me an idea of the real deal.

I haven't played the USA ones but have been pretty happy with the ones in my SE baritone.

Thanks John Beef, I’ve no experience of them so I was looking for some advice

If they're affordable, why not? If you do, let us know what you think!

They went before I really had a chance to do some research.

Having seen the SE CU24 vs US CU 24, I think it’s US pups all the way.

I’ve got a set of 85/15s for sale if anyone is interested

Yeah, do your research now. That'll likely happen again if they come up again.

I watched the comparison video of the CU24 and SE24. I think I prefer the US tone.

However, the US are like hens teeth, so maybe I’ll try a set of SE 85/15s as there is another set on eBay (UK).

I was just wondering if anyone had experience of both and any pros/cons?

Thanks.
