Hi guys,
I know this question has been asked a lot, but as everyone is different and you are the PRS experts, please bear with me.
I have played a lot from 15-20yo. I used to play metal, and had an Ibanez.
Well, I'm back into playing (31yo), and I need to buy a new guitar. I already own a Stratocaster type (brazilian made, with Seymour Duncans), and I believe that the best suit for me would be a PRS SE. I just can't afford the american made ones, and the SEs seems pretty solid from everything I read. BTW, an SE here will go for something around U$1400 to U$1700, so it won't be cheap.
What I usually play: some metal (Metallica, Maiden, a little bit of Pantera, Helloween, Ozzy, Megadeth), hard rock (Bon Jovi, Foo Fighters, Guns n Roses, Mr Big, Extreme, etc) and also rock/blues (basically a John Mayer fan). Also: I have small hands.
From what I saw (without playing it, as I don't have easy access to PRS guitars here, so would probably have to buy online), my current favorites are the SE Tremonti Custom, the SE Zach Myers and the SE C24.
Am I on the right path? What would you advise regarding SEs and given my playing preferences?
Thanks!
p.s.: sorry for any english mistakes, as it is not my first language.
