PRS SE Chleo

[mbenigni]

But yeah, now that you guys have me looking at that jack plate, oops. Bad feng shui vs. the pickup selector.

Oh didn't scroll far enough - Yeah I dig that Charcoal Purple Burst

Where'd Herman get the name from?

A little too purple for me (having never formerly been known as Prince.) I like the photo on the web page better. I imagine the actual color will vary from one guitar to the next.

Anyway, don't get me wrong; it's cool and I would probably enjoy playing it any color.

For $2k I'm going used core hunting.

You’re not wrong, but this isn’t really a PRS in anything but name.

True. $2k for a SE is still crazy.

I consider myself a pretty open-minded person, but this is hard for me to understand - especially for $2k.

Fishman pickups, Floyd Rose, carbon fiber rods in neck. Not trying to change anyone’s mind here, but there is more in it than other PRS guitars.

Kinda looks like an EBMM Saber and and Ibanez had a baby except turns out they were related and that’s why it has a deformed input Jack.

I wish with this guitar, as well as the Ibanez S guitar this is based on, they actually bumped out the back of the guitar for the blade switch so they don’t need that little cover. Or just find an alternative to the blade switch. Or even make the cover match the color of the guitar or the other plastic bits. It drives my OCD nuts.

Agree. The output jack would even be OK were it not for that pickup selector wart. They’re too similar, too close to one another, and at arbitrary angles relative to one another.

Actually, the jack mount and selector switch mount are pretty clever on this! This is a great look at the Cort factory and how they’re being built.



The more I saw it the more curious about the guitar I am. Highly unlikely I’d go for a 24 fretted/Floyd that’s not a Solar or an MIJ RG, but I’m definitely anxious to give one of these a shot!

Great video, and I love the engineering of mounting the parts from the back. Still don’t like the aesthetics.

 

[paisleywookiee]

I love the Internet.

I don’t actually think the price is crazy at all for what it is.

 

[Dimiguitar]

Very modern guitar, so I'm a bit surprised it doesn't have stainless steel frets (neither the American PRS does). But I know Paul Reed Smith seems allergic to them.

Apparently he's also said this..

I actually really dig the look of that and will play one the second I see one. Most certainly won’t buy one as I expect the neck and body to be way too thin for my liking, but I dig it. Kinda like a Majesty and an Ibanez S got together, had some drinks and pull n’ pray didn’t work.
