Prs se soapbar ii

That alone attracts me to the guitar, as I just love a rosewood fretboard and the warmth it adds to your tone. When I read other reviews of the SE, I was a little dubious, as most people talked about the wide, C-shaped neck. I have relatively short fingers, so neck diameter is a real important to me.

All I can say is that the neck on this guitar is just how I like it. The semi-flush heel also allows someone like me with short fingers to comfortably reach notes above the 18th fret with ease. Phil had the action set on this SE a bit higher than how I usually like it, but despite that minor nit that can be easily remedied, the neck is fast, and the frets are perfectly finished — not too deep and not too shallow, so you can bend and easily articulate nice vibrato without going out of key.

One thing I really like about this guitar was the simple controls: Two knobs and a 3-way toggle. The volume knob is perfectly positioned for rolling up or down volume with your pinky — very convenient. From a playability standpoint, PRS truly made this guitar with a gigging guitarist in mind. Everything it about how you play this guitar speaks of convenience and playability with minimal fuss.

Tone and sustain all have to come from the guitar when plugged into this amp, and from that perspective, the SE simply shines. With any pickup you can go from clean to dirty simply by rolling the volume knob. The tone is deep and smooth.

Rolling up the volume produces just a tiny bit of grit, that you can increase significantly by attacking the strings more. In fact, in all three settings the guitar responds incredibly well to pick attack. You gotta love it. My favorite pickup setting was with both pickups engaged.

In this position, the tonal quality became a lot more complex, with a noticeable midrange boost something I prefer , and just as with the neck pickup, the responsiveness to pick attack was still present — probably even more so in this position. With the bridge pickup selected, you get that classic P tight, bright honk. Yes, the treble boost was there, but it was quite pleasing to me! For the money, you get what amounts to a tone chameleon! You want blues? You got it?

Wanna do some classic rock? No prob. High gain? Got it covered. I will warn that this guitar may not appeal to thrash metal guys, but hey! You never know. So the verdict? Posted in gear , gear reviews , guitar , guitar gear , guitarists , Guitars 21 Comments. The frets feel nice and the soapbar pickups are impressive. I used to own one of the similarly priced mexican Fender Fat Strats and was really disappointed with it. I ended up selling it to Guitar Center and getting this thing. Pretty sweet deal!

I just bought a PRS semi hollowbody with a natural finish and the soapbar pickups. The tone and playability are incredible and the quality of the guitar is fantastic. One thing I did change was the tuners, went with Spertzel locking tuners and it solved the problem of slipping.

Other than that, all I have gotten are compliments about this guitar! I have no problem with the tuners at all set it up and I can play for days without losing tone or key. I just bought an SE soapbox II and not knowing anything about electric guitars, because I play classical and just do the old chord thing on a steel string, I went for sound and prettiness typical girl I guess.

Good for you Claire! I have also interest for buying this guitar ; how are you today with playing? Thanks for your answer — Have a nice day! Bluesy rock country twang heaven here I come. If you are not familiar with P pickups, they are single coil, so you will get some minor humming in the bridge and neck positions.

The middle position is hum canceling, quiet as a mouse. The trade off is the Ps put out a growling, aggressive tone that cuts through the rest of the band when you need it to. Ps also have a meatier tone, with more bottom end, than Strat single coils, and higher output signal, yet they have more high end than humbuckers, allowing you to cut through when you want to play lead..

Really cool vintage sound! The neck even has moon inlays! This solid body guitar is one of the lightest guitars I have ever played. It will not weigh you down like a Les Paul does, yet retains more sustain than any strat single coil. I bought my soapbar about 4 years ago, and still love it. I have the vintage cherry model. The compliments on the sound and apperance never stop. The Soapbar has sparkle and vibe. It has plenty of power, and the soapbar single-coils really suit the guitar.

Its weight seems to create some good resonance. There's bite from the bridge pickup but depth and power too, and the neck pickup is really sweet, defined and typically single-coil - just with more fatness and power. The twin mix is great for older blues styles, or with a little volume reduction it does a passable funky Fender-like mix; thankfully it's hum-cancelling, too. It's dead simple to use, but that's the appeal of this guitar's inspiration: the Les Paul Special.

Okay, it never had a maple top but you know where we're coming from: light weight, a great neck and impressively rock 'n' roll sounding. It's not overblown but nicely raw and jangly, and with enough poke to have you wailing away up the dusty end.

If we had to be critical, we'd say that the frets are slightly on the low side and playability is a little less fluid than it could be. MusicRadar is the number 1 website for music makers of all kinds, be they guitarists, drummers, keyboard players, djs or producers Home Reviews.
