Hey guys!
In the middle of the month the PRS SE ZM arrived in Brazil. As I really wanted this guitar, and was in direct contact with PRS representatives in Brazil, I ordered it the day it arrived. It was expensive (because of import fees, it end up costing USD 1350). But it was worth it.
It arrived here this Wednesday. It came with 09s, which I don't like. When trying to put 0.10s, the nut slot didn't fir, so I took it to a luthier here in my city so he could properly set it up. His comment when I went to pick up the guitar this morning: "this guitar is amazingly well constructed, and it sounds amazing!"
I have to agree with him. I really liked the pickups (for now), and the only possible upgrades perhaps I'll make in the near future are a new but (Graphtech) and if I have some trouble with tuning, the Gotoh SD 90, as I read it is a direct fit. Maybe strap locks, but that is not an issue for me.
I found the guitar to be REALLY light. I was playing with a borrowed Gibson SG, and also own a Tagima Stratocaster (brazilian company, heavily modded) and get to play with a Cheruti Lucky 6 ("boutique" luthier guitar, signature model for brazilian guitarist Frank Solari).
So, here are the pictures of my new baby. I'm a really happy dude right now!
