SOLD PRS SE Singlecut Soapbar FS/FT with pics

[john_the_bass]

I've got one of these (pics to follow) that I'm not really mad keen on - it's a nice guitar and in good nick.
It's the SE (Korean) version in Cherry Red and it's been set up fairly recently - couple of tiny dings, one on the top and one on the back that haven't gone through the finish. These weren't made for long before Gibson filed a lawsuit against PRS for nicking the design and trademark (of the LP presumably) and so they don't make em anymore. Apparently, the electrics were improved slightly on the new models, but the wood used to make these ones is much better.

Includes a hard case with keys, so I'm looking for £250 for it shipped within mainlain UK.
If you don't want the case, I'm sure we can come to some arrangement. I quite fancy another Epiphone semi-acoustic (but not a dot as I've already got one of them), so if you've got a Casino, Riviera or a Sheraton that you'd fancy doing a swap on let me know - although I suspect that I'd have to put cash towards one of those.

I'll get some pics up later.

I forgot I posted this!
Pics here:





I'd like cash, but I'd consider a Jazz bass (preferably a Jap one - maybe with a small amount of readies from me), a tele deluxe 72, an epiphone semi solid (not a dot, I've got one of them). I did have half an idea about a good 210 and I'm not discounting the idea, but it would have to be good quality, light and 8 ohm - and there would have to be some justification about housing it as space is at a premium - so that option is not 100%

a bit more on this to kill the 5 minutes before I can go home!!

Mahogany body and (I think) mahogany set neck with rosewood fingerboard. Half moon inlays or whatever PRS call them - they are actually whole round dots, with a sort of crescent moon inlay in them and look quite nice. PRS designed tuners and tailpiece - they're obviously budget versions of what go on the USA models. The neck is described as "Wide fat carve" (or something like that), anyway I played a few in the shop before I bought this one used (I think this was about £400 new) and they all felt really clunky on the neck. The guy who I bought this off told me he'd had a £60 set up done on it - it's certainly sorted anyway, the neck is really fast - faster than my 60s neck LP was and feels really nice and I think the frets have been dressed so there's no sharp edges and there's plenty of wear in them. It's not a heavy guitar, but then I've been playing a Les Paul and a bloody great ash-bodied tele recently, so it might just feel light. The soapbars are a lot bigger sounding than I expected them to be, having never had a guitar with soapbars on it - the variation between the neck and the bridge pickup is slight - the bridge is definitely brighter, but I don't think it has a higher output particularly, but still good enough for lead stuff.

[edit] And it's actually really well made, which surprised me. I've had a few Korean Epiphones and they're well put together but this one seems to have no flaws - especially next to my Epi dot. A better eye than mine might be able to spot them, but I can't

I've got 7 electric guitars now and this one doesn't really get played - in fact about 4 of them don't get played, so I am having to have a clear out.

on ebay now at £220 - still considering a trade on a jazz (or possibly another semi)
