2020s PRS SE Hollowbody Standard Electric Guitar

Overview: I've had numerous PRS guitars through the shop -- both American and SE models -- and can safely tell you that the US-made guitars are definitely cream-of-the-crop affairs but the SE versions give you so much of the experience that you might not miss the rest of it. These SE Hollowbody models all feel quite rich under the fingers and the factory setups are good-enough that only minor adjustments need to be made to them, usually. This is a lightweight, comfy guitar and it has a boutiquey sound about it that lends itself to whatever style you might pursue.


Tone: It's clean, full, balanced, and has a nice bit of chime to it when you want it.


Feel: The neck has a medium heft to it -- about like the US models it emulates -- sort-of like a late '50s Les Paul feel but a little fuller in the shoulders.


Interesting features: Well, if you're familiar with PRS guitars, there's not much to write home about -- but if you're not, there's all the little stuff that's nice and player-oriented with these -- the beveled cutaway is nice, for starters. There's also the bird inlay, carved top shape, simple but elegant adjustable bridge design, easy control access, and heavy-duty fittings.

Condition notes: This is a more-or-less newish guitar and it only has very minor usewear/playwear throughout. There may be light scratches or scuffs, but I'm not seeing very many of them and can't photograph anything that would be obvious. Consider it a lightly-used guitar.
