An amazing guitar for an amazing price
I've always thought about acquiring a PRS but always thought the American made ones were too expensive and the SE editions were just cheap Chinese produced ones. I was walking by some guitars in the big Thomann music store and just saw 'PRS' and the word 'custom' on the headstock that was sitting next to the really expensive custom shop guitars. I picked it up, held it and stummed it a bit and thought, 'dang, this is a sweet guitar, probably way out of my price range.' I looked again carefully, saw it was an SE and under €1000,-. I was amazed - it played, looked and felt like a top-shelf guitar. I had to have it. It now sits very nicely in my collection and feels like an amazing guitar - I love it.

A fantastic old-school guitar
I picked it up and just fell in love. This thing plays so well. It was already set up (done in California) and it has that vintage 50s-60s surfer rock style to it. It sounds amazing. It's my first guitar with a P90 and I now know what type of sound I have been missing. A great price for great guitar.

Dynamic and well built
A really robust dynamic volume pedal that reacts perfectly for rolling back a distorted channel for cleans or just reducing the sound during rythm parts or solos. It cleans up a Mesa or a Diezel really well, which means you're not constantly switching between distorted and clean channels which I absolutely love - imagine Adam Jones from Tool and the way he dynamically controlls his VH4 with volume controls - it's wicked. It runs on a 9V charge which means it's not like a passive pot in your guitar.

Cheap but amazing
This is a house-brand guitar I bought in Northern Bavaria, Germany. It was pretty cheap (like $250) but it has EMG HZ Pickups and was setup absolutely perfectly. I've never changed a thing and is still one of my favorite guitars even compared to the more expensive Gibsons. It just feels great.
