Tremonti SE - Impressed

[jeff5]

I picked up a black Tremonti SE from Guitar Center for around $300. I couldn't believe how great it played and how great it sounded with no set up at all. I had GC put new strings on it and set it up for C# standard (going to use it for a lot of Sabbath) and I am completely impressed! Normally I'd change out the pick ups right away, but this guitar doesn't even need that. (I still may change them though!) My expectations weren't high for a $300 guitar, but this surpassed them by miles. What a pleasant surprise.

Nice price!

Seems the Tremonti has taken you higher than you thought it would?

Glad you welcomed it home with arms wide open.

Love my SE Tremonti. My buddy is upset that he grudgingly likes it better than his American Strat. I made him feel better by saying "Two different sounds dude, they're both great". Technically I didn't lie. :biggrin:

Keep in mind that it isn't a $300 guitar... You got a great price but normal street price on it is much closer to a mex strat than a squire...

How do you get a black Tremonti SE from GC for 300 dollars? Was it used? I would really like to get one of them. Did they have any left? PM me the details. Awesome deal.

Lol I don't know! I saw it hanging on the wall for $299, I played it and bonded with it. I've played some SEs (and regular PRS) that I didn't like, but I instantly felt a connection with this axe. I had them set it up for C# standard as I'm going to use this for Sabbath and other down tuned stuff.

It was from the Guitar Center in Algonquin, IL. (Suburb of Chicago) I THINK I saw one for the same price there last weekend. You may want to shoot them a call. It's bare bones, no gig bag or anything like that.

Theres a few on GC's website last i looked, though they're used. And there was one on reverb.com not so long ago too.

Was yours used or maybe NOS?

 

[jeff5]

I thought it was new. I guess it could have been NOS, they really didn't say.
