Arrived Friday. Of course, it's a PRS so the quality is without question. Here is the interesting thing. I have a Swamp Ash Special SE. Is the USA made SAS leaps and bounds better? I'm comparing my SAS SE as it was before I replaced the pickups and rewired it. Stock, the sound of the USA SAS is far superior (to my ears, YMMV). Fit and finish? The USA SAS is not leaps and bounds better. It is absolutely superior, but not by an astronomical amount. That's not a dig at the USA model; more of a compliment of how good the SE line is. Yes, I have replaced the stock SE pickups with Seymour Duncans, so tonewise, my SE is actually on par with my USA SAS. Since the USA SAS' pickups are more PAF-voiced, and my SAS SE pickups are hotter (Pearly Gates, Alnico 2 Pro single coil, & Custom Custom), there is a difference, but I love the 58/15 pickups. The neck? ok, there is a clear winner here. I tolerate my SE's neck. I'm not a fan of the wide thin profile. It is difficult for me, but after a little bit, I get used to it. The neck profile of the USA model is mush more to my liking. I will post pics and some playing video clips when I'm back home next weekend.
