NGD! PRS SE Custom

darthed1981

Popped into PMT Northampton with two older redundant guitars that weren't attracting much interest in the classifieds with the intent of trying a couple of PRS, looking first at the blue SE Standard, unfortunately the one they had featured a dink.

So I tried an SE Custom in Red and instantly it sounded much better, though overall playability was pretty similar.  A reasonable trade in and price match later and voila NGD...

That might be down to the maple cap versus all mahogany.

The pickups are probably pretty similar too. They happen to suit one body better than the other.

If you had not been part-exchanging, you could have used the dink to wangle a discount.

Made by world guitars which also make the strandberg boden os, I bet its a great guitar.

Oh they offered me a discount anyhow, they were really good today, but the dink was right next to the pickup, I'd see it all the time.

I don't think anyone would regret buying one of the standards or customs, both were really excellent guitars.
