There's no downers with PRS guitars about where they're made on this site as far as I'm aware. It most certainly isn't like it is at the Gibson and Fender boards. I have a Tremonti SE that is my go to guitar and it's as good as any guitar I've tried. I have two more that, admittedly, I don't touch much and they are the same, brilliant! I have never owned an Epiphone so can't comment. In my experience Fender copies (Squire etc.) are poo and substandard to US made ones this is not the case with PRS.
I have two core PRSes and three SEs. Honestly, the SEs get more playing time than the cores do.
It's nice to know I'm not alone! It was a little daunting coming on here and seeing all these Private Stocks etc. However, I know that what I have just bought is a truly excellent guitar
It's nice to know I'm not alone! It was a little daunting coming on here and seeing all these Private Stocks etc. However, I know that what I have just bought is a truly excellent guitar that is made to the same standards with a few corners cut as all those high end PRS beauties. I must say however, that having fallen in love with the first SE's that I saw on the internet I was so disappointed when I saw my first one in a store. The top was just flat and it put me off instantly! Just having that slightly contoured top makes them so much more appealing ( to me ). I know that this is just nitpicking but those flat tops just didn't look right somehow. I am really impressed with the tonal range produced by the far better than average PU's and the push-pull pot. This is the guitar for me that answers all my needs ..... as a bedroom guitarist!
