| If you are a fan of PRS guitars but dont have the $ to buy this models' expensive brothers, you're in luck! For the pirce its an exellent value! Definitely a beginners dream as well as a great addition to any seasoned guitarists arsenal. |
| Reliability:
| This guitar is built extremely well. And has withstood everything i could throw at it. As with any (affordable) version of a flagship guitar, i.e. epiphone to its big brother gibson, the S.E. custom has a few things that separate it from a traditional PRS. For example the tuners are this guitars weak link. When i first got this guitar i had to stop to re-tune every 10 minutes as it fell out of tune quite easily. Also the top is not sculpted aka the body of the guitar is flat and not rounded for those not familiar with guitar lingo. Of course the tuners can easily be replaced (which is what i did) and with this simple and easy mod, this guitar shines as bright as any PRS. And lastly the pickups..normally on a cheaper guitar you'd find it has cheap pickups and although these arent screamers, they are very tight and are perfect for a beginner to develop their ear with. As for the rest of us with the need to have the hottest response possible, then a pickup swap will make this guitar wail! |
| Overall:
| My overall opinion on the SE custom is that its a great guitar for the price and if you are looking for a guitar that not only allows you to get the job done, but to look good doing so, then get one! |
| Playability and Feel:
| This guitar feels exeptional whether on the knee or hanging from a strap! It balances etremely well and has a very compact feel while allowing you to blaze up and down the neck with precision. I bought the stopbar version and with alittle adjustment of the truss rod, any neck tweek due to the shipping method is quickly corrected and you are well on your way. The action is great, strings have low tension and there wasnt alot of work to get it to do so right out of the box! |
| Tone:
| I have 10 guitars in my collection ranging from a vintage gibson les pauls to an epiphone paul to an ibanez jem. I have a wide variety of guitars whose tone stretches from thick to razorblade sharp. And i was amazed at how my prs blurs the lines between being able to play heavy metal riffs with tons of tone liken to my les pauls, to tight singing solos like my ibanez. And anywhere inbetween! Its the most versatile guitar i own! Yeah, i was shocked too! |
| Finish:
| Ok heres where some research came in handy and i suggest you do the same before buying what you normally think by looking at the pictures on here as a beautiful guitar! I checked other web sites looking to make sure the finish i chose i would love as i saw a previous review talking about the finish looking horrible. First off dont go by the pictures on this page, i'm not sure where they got them but i saw the matteo blue guitar and was blown away. I was saddened to find out on other websites with photos that indeed they look extremely different from the photos posted here. So much so that i almost didn't buy one. Until i found a pic of the tobacco burst and decided why not? I am glad i did cuz although i am not impressed with any of the other finishes, mine looks amazing! The coloration is dark and beautiful and the lacquer finish is second to none! |
| Action:
| Action was fairly close as they set it up at the warehouse before its shipped although with any set or glued neck, or any guitar for that matter, being shipped throws that out of whack alittle. Mine needed the tension brought up just alittle and then it played wonderfully. |

| first ,it doesnt look anything like the pics.I bought the blue one and the finish was way dark and the headstock was black.Honestly i tried to make friends with this even after the total dissapointment of the finish (could barely see the flame !)I got locking grovers,strap locks ,set it up for me,and really ended up ebaying it.Just very uninspiring.....its pretty good for 600. but iwould totally save for more,a faded V or sg blows this away ,a real v or sg........no contest.also 600.for a korean guitar with no case!!!jeeeez ,if it would have been as sweet as the picture i might have tried harder. |

| I had to adjust the action alittle, replace strings 'I play 11's' and lower the bridge pickups. Besides that for me. It's pretty much out of the box good. |
