   @BLACKSYNTH Well A. You ordered it online(never buy a guitar you haven’t played yourself) B. This is the ONLY negative review I have seen for this guitar. Everyone is else highly recommends them.

   @gunsnrosesfreak29 I’m sure the crappy switch may have been just on mine..the fret finishing..I’m guessing will be better on others and some not so, but on the whole the guitar feels like a dead piece of wood, bulky and lifeless, I had an American PRS custom 24, and the SE are not even 5% close, cant believe this was endorsed by PRS,
   my epiphone Les paul sings and the body rings out with resonance, this is completely dead wood and dull sounding. I still cant believe it!! I don’t recommend it

   @BLACKSYNTH Maybe it was just the guitar you bought?

4. BLACKSYNTH on October 2nd, 2011

   I got it as soon as it came in stock in the UK,

   after 2 days it was on ebay!
   the Frets were horribly dressed! out of the box the bending of strings was like grinding a stone. the selector switch in the treble position keeps wanting to snap back to middle, you only have to tap the guitar and it clicks off.

   I’ll never touch an SE PRS again.
   The whole guitar was not to my liking,
   Its no Les paul
   unplugged, the guitar has no resonance to the wood its really dead unlike a les paul.

    @edskate787 You can shape your sound with volume and tone controls for each pickup, and a 3-way toggle pickup selector. Finally, a Deluxe PRS Gig Bag is included.
    Coming soon to stores and online in Black, Scarlet Red and Tobacco burst(shown). It’s retail price is $619.00

    @edskate787 The neck is carved from mahogany into a luxurious “wide fat” profile with a rosewood fingerboard and the familiar PRS bird inlays as standard appointments.
    The body of the SE-245 is carved from mahogany and is outfitted with a pair of PRS Humbuckers that will deliver sustain for days on end as well as absolutely timeless tone, whether you are playing clean blues runs or scorching rock solos.A flame maple veneer tops off this beauty; giving the SE-245 its classic, vintage appeal.

    The SE 245 is perfect for traditional single-cutaway players. The distinctive feature of this guitar is its 24.5″ scale length. Most traditional single-cutaway guitars have a 24.75” scale. Though seemingly a minor detail, the .25” difference in scale length makes a huge difference in the overall playability. Players will love the ease of string-bending and effortless vibrato on the SE-245 because of the lesser tension created by the 24.5” scale length.

    @ZackMustZick PRS review on it: With a voice that is classic, eminently recordable and gig ready, the SE 245 is perfect for traditional single-cutaway players. The 24.5″ scale length makes this instrument instantly comfortable to players who grew up using short scale guitars. Volume and tone controls for each pickup, a 3-way toggle and bird inlays are all standard appointments.

19. SgtChikoli on October 2nd, 2011

    @agentelectric A few sources say around June/July kind of time but I’m not sure of the region. I’ve been looking around for some info myself, seems to be a lot more questions than answers.

20. agentelectric on October 2nd, 2011

22. Manolian on October 2nd, 2011

    Looks like a great guitar value for the $.

23. Kalel702 on October 2nd, 2011

    It’s not a signature line yay! I want one! When is this coming out?

24. 5150VanAlien on October 2nd, 2011

    You could use this guitar to gig with and unlike a normal PRS SC (which cost over £2,000 in the UK), you’re not too fussed about dings and scratches on tour.

25. 5150VanAlien on October 2nd, 2011

    @guitarvibe75 He lets the armonic ring out and applies pressure on the string behind the nut which is like pulling up on a tremolo but in this case, it’s at the other end as this guitar has no tremolo…lovely guitar.
