PRS SE: 20% off through Dec 31st

I have a 50/50 success rate with getting picks on sale to go through. I was getting the 12-pack of Petrucci picks for $0.99 a pack, got 10 packs the first shot just to try it, but when I went back again it returned the order to me. A few months later it happened again, I got one order through and I believe I made a post about it here, I don't think it lasted long after that.

Good luck!!!

Those SE's are killer, I was so blown away by the one I saw at GC a couple years ago I bought it within 5 minutes of seeing it which is really not how I go about buying guitars, it was just too perfect. It's also the only guitar I've ever sold, funnily enough. I just couldn't get on with the neck carve after playing my Strats and going back to it, it's nothing I can fix and I know it'd go unplayed, so I sold it to my best friend.

I'd have no problem buying another one as long as it had a different neck shape.
 
Fell in love with the PRS aesthetic in the ealy '90s, but as I was a college student, they were priced out of my reach.

My first PRS purchase was actually a "blemished" Private Stock 594 which helped me negotiate a 35% discount.

My second was a limited PRS Reclaimed Peroba Rosa S2 Vela Semi-Hollow. Love this instrument!

Been wanting to try a DGT, so when I saw this thread I did a quick search and found gold (actually tobacco sunburst 😁).
 
Not happening. I bet someone tried to order 100. :LOL:

Other than the DGT, all SE's are 20% of through the end of the year everywhere. According to Phil McNight it's different from Fender undercutting stores by offering discounts on their website. PRS is apparently supporting their retailers on this.

Not looking myself, but I thought I'd share.

They really aren't. They're fucking retailers, tbh. Not trying to discourage anyone from doing this, but they really gave dealers a raw dealer on this one.

OK. Phillip McKnight said they were working with their retailers on this, unlike Fender who just discounted things on their website. He usually has some inside info, but I can't say anything on this from first hand knowledge.

They are, to a point. And yes it's better than what Fender does, for sure. 20% off at the store, then the store gets back 10% on their next order. So the store loses 10%+shipping costs entirely. Again, not nearly as bad as Fender, but they could have done better.
 
It probably means they have a shitload of stock sitting somewhere, and it is far more than they can ship to retailers
who are probably already experiencing a glut of PRS SE inventory. :idk

There are a ridiculous amount of SE’s for sale on Reverb. My LGS is sitting on a dozen Silver Sky SE’s alone and they’re a fairly small PRS dealer.

Glut indeed.

shit, even the price hikes on the S2s is insane. At one point they were an awesome value new, now they're all in the mid $2ks

I think you’re thinking of the bolt-on stuff; the most expensive normal production S2 is $2049. But that’s definitely up a lot over the last few years. And the Core models are well outpacing inflation. PRS is out of their minds, IMO. As nice as they are, $4500 for a bone stock Core CU24 is a lot of money.

Not even I’m just trippin lol, just checked the prices I had in my head was for the 10th anniversary stuff that’s around $2400. I didn’t realize that distinction til just now I just thought everything was going for thet

I guess $2049 being the most expensive is better lol

I dream of owning a core HBII one day, but not for $5g :(

I still remember when the S2 CU24 was $1499 though, and now it’s $1949. It just seems like a lot, but when the Core CU24 has gone from $3K in 2015 to $4500 now, that’s outlandish.Don’t get me wrong; they‘re amazing guitars. But sweet Jesus.
