Crazy bang for the buck, even with the price increase

So these were selling new for like, less than 500 bucks about a year or so ago? And of course because of tariffs and the global economy and world being the way it is, everyone had to increase prices. BUT EVEN STILL this guitar is like, A LOT of guitar for the money. I've owned the trem version of these and realized in a cover band where I constantly go back and fourth from Drop D to Standard and vice versa on a floating trem sucks... Like it really sucks. Great guitar, the satin finish feels amazing, the neck is fast but not uncomfortably small. The tuners are different with this model, they actually feel and function better than the old SE tuners which is wild me saying that. The electronics are great, real orange drop capacitors, full sized pots, great feeling switch. Only thing I think could be subbed out here are the pickups but that's like, really to taste. I don't like 85-15 S pickups, I prefer an Alnico II snarl but again, for what they are, they are pretty fantastic. The stop tail bridge is different from older PRS SE models, they are Aluminum but with brass slots where the strings rest. and you can audibly hear the result from that. The guitar acoustically is loud and bright (in a good way) with the bridge, plus it has brass posts which make a difference in terms of sustain. Great choices all around. I swapped my bridge out with a WIlkinson Wraparound bridge (the one with individual saddles you can adjust... I use a weird string gauge) and unlike older SE's where you have to swap out the post, this one is a literal drop in replacement. Amazing, no notes. I play in a professional cover band, and I would not think twice about playing this guitar for a full blown 4 hour gig... Stock! The setup is amazing, frets are perfect and the factory setup out of PRS is perfect. Seriously, for about $550 bucks you get a pro level instrument you don't need to upgrade. I could literally take it out of the box, tune it up, plug into the rack and play a set comfortably. Would recommend the stop tail if you are a player that doesn't need a whammy bar and trem system. If you need a rock solid, grip it and rip rock machine you can legit tour with but also don't have enough money to pay for a big boi guitar without a years worth of plasma donations, grab this guy! Oh and being over 40 with 4 kids, this thing is stupid light and great on your back. It weighs less than my Gibson SG and doesn't have neck dive. Okay I'm done, I swear!
