PRS SE Ace model

Fretwired

Ace gets his own PRS SE .. looks and sounds OK ..

Looks great but it would have been nice to see something with more changes to the tremonti - they could have just added black to the tremonti se range (I'm think the newer ones with a trem)  and released something new.   However that is close to the guitar he uses so fair enough. 

I hope the output isn't too weak or fragile in construction ;-)

Mr PRS is pretty easy with handing out the sig models these days.

There isn't an all mahogany with a trem in the 2 SE Tremonti offerings.

The hog tremonti is a stop tail and has the Wide-Fat neck.

Think this is a nice addition to the SE range, except it's a limited edition of 180 guitars.

I'll be waiting to see what the PRS @Fortheloveofguitar signature looks like then  )

I thought 'Ace' was Sting in Quadrophenia?

I thought this one had a maple cap like the tremonti?

Well at the rate that Mr Smith is dishing them out I'll be expecting a call very soon.

SOLD! Put me down for 4 then - The SE, the S2, the USA core line and the Private Stock versions

Funny really as Ace is from my town and lived just up the road from where I live now.

If I had a signature PRS guitar it'd be a singlecut trem with a wide fat neck. 6100 Jumbo frets, a P90 in the neck & a ceramic hi output M series in the bridge & a series/parallel switch in the middle position of a three way switch. I'd have silhouette birds. But it'd come in a Hiscox case.

I like Ace. He's er.....Ace.

One of the best gigs I've been to was Skunk Anansie at the Newport Centre. Muse opened for them. Skunk Anansie totally blew them away.

Ooh this could be a good game. Yours would be awesome, in fact thinking about my ideal one makes me realise mine would be similar.

I'd have a carved-top double cut, korina body, 24 stainless steel 6100-gauge frets, wide fat maple neck, ebony board, bridge humbucker and neck singlecoil, a choice between a wraparound bridge or a non-floating Floyd, just a volume knob, a 3-way toggle mounted sideways near the bottom horn like on a Jazzmaster, moon inlays and it'd come in a range of bright solid/metallic colours or just natural. Colour-wise... orange, red, yellow, green, blue, purple. White for people with more conservative tastes too. All finishes would have a satin, unpainted neck.

Shape-wise, it'd have to be a double-cut but I'm torn between the standard Cu24 shape or the original Mira... hmmm.

I'm glad the sticker's removable!

Doesn't really appeal to me but it looks a good option for someone who'd like a Tremonti with a Wide Thin.

The tremonti with a trem has a wide/thin neck.     This just adds a solid colour and neck binding - both of which I like.

Oops, I stand corrected.

I think the standard non trem tremonti se has a wide/fat,  with sold colours and neck binding,   the tremonti se custom with a trem is wide thin with flame top trans colours and no binding.     All rather confusing and for me this new model is the best of both worlds.

I'd have one of those, but only 22 frets & a tone control.

Depending on how successful my endorsement deal was and how receptive they'd be to a second signature model, I'll also do a single-cut with 22 frets and two humbuckers. And multi-ply binding, quite possibly block inlays too. And it'd come in black, among other colours... with gold hardware... can you see where I'm going aesthetically?

I'd still have to omit the tone control though, because I personally never use it and it's my signature model And having fewer knobs looks better (why do you think naked women are so much more aesthetically pleasing than naked men?)

Looks like a hell of a lot guitar for the money, binding, custom pick ups.

I'd like a custom 24 with the McCarty neck in a solid colour. But really the S2 standard 24 looks pretty perfect to me
