I had just bought a SE Bernie Marsden from 2012

Welcome @Eddiebaby! Bernies are killer guitars and some of the best SEs ever made from the reaction guys give them. I'm a huge fan of the SE245, the base model which the Bernie was based on and have the two noted below.

Interestingly, I've swapped out the pickups in both guitars since ultimately I wasn't a fan of the regular SE245 pickups, or the SD Stacked soapbar. New pups took each guitar to the next level.

Hi Prina,
Glad to hear you like the SE range. What pups did you change to?

@Alnus Rubra
Glad you like the SE guitars.
I'm in the UK in sunny Surrey, although I'm heading down to Weymouth for a week at the coast this afternoon. Lots of dog walking on the cliffs and maybe a jam session at The Belvedere. Hmmm, BM or DGT? Now that's a question...

Yes, I have a special soft spot for this beauty -



It was a special gift from some of the best people I know.

Have fun in Weymouth and why not both?

The '11 got switched to Wolfetones: a Marshallhead bridge and Dr Vintage neck, both with Alnico IV magnets.

The '15 Soapbar received a vintage (probably '60s-'70s) Gibson P-90 bridge and Wolfetone Mean neck.

Have you swapped the pickups out again?

No, an older photo.

Still love the ones you made
