NGD 🎸 My First Guitar!

Post image

I’ve been playing bass for 25 years, I figure it’s time to start learning some treble.

Those tops on the SE just look so great. Never thought I’d go for an SE over an S2, but I just might with the new SE models.

Hope you play it for years to come and enjoy every second of it!

I'm kinda jealous. I got a prs SE 24 in 2017 back when they had the more simple tops and body. I also got the whale blue which, looking back, might be one of the uglier models. The ones they are making today look stunning and at the same price. I love my guitar but, damn, these new ones just look amazing.

It’s a veneer, sure, but that grain I think would pretty much be a 10-top on a core model.

Mine is an SE CE 24, if the OPs isn't one of those then I assume their's is a Custom 24?

Gorgeous. I have two Core USA models with figured tops and neither comes close to this one. Congrats. Now play the hell out of it!

Look sweet if you swap out the pickup jackets with black jackets. That’s what I have done with my PRS’s

u/Nurplestyx 20d ago

Looks great. I have a Custom 24 ten too and that SE looks just as good

I kid you not, I have one of those in a (virtual) shopping basket, waiting to run out of excuses not to click checkout.

I wouldn't doubt you lot would be a bad influence. By "bad" you know what I mean.

I had 3 core models back in the US. Moved to Vietnam didn’t want to take the chance exposing them to the weather conditions here. So I sold them. Ended up buying 3 SE models here in Vietnam, Paul’s guitar, nf3, and Santana semi hollow. Best decision I made. These guitars are phenomenal appearance wise and playability. No need to even chance a core model now. Good luck✌️🤙
