Light and airy with sting and snap.

The SE Custom Semi-Hollow has the same basic appointments as the SE Custom - mahogany back, maple top, 22-fret wide-fat mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and SE humbucking pickups. The mahogany body has a "canoe carve" with hollow wings and solid mahogany in the center from the tailpiece to the neck join. The addition of a hollow chamber and modern f-hole give it a musical midrange and internal reverb, making it a very light, comfortable, and versatile electric guitar.

PRS quality for the working Joe.

I have been a collector of guitars for 35 years and seen lots of crap some people call instruments. I own a PRS 22 Custom with birds and the whole nine yards, a Larivee C10 cutaway all the way down to my Brian Moore I2, and Fender Mexican Strats and Teles. Let me say that I am blown away by the beauty, fit and finish and playability of the new SE custom semi-hollowbody. Mine is the natural finish and looks like a peice of art. If I didn't know any better it could pass for a $1200 price tag without exaggeration. When I buy guitars I say "if it don't feel right, it ain't gonna sound right." This baby felt perfect from the first time I picked it up and sounded even better. The semi-hollowbody gives the sound a nice rich depth and can nearly sound like an acoustic at about half volume and cranked up gives a nice spanky sound when attacked assertively with a pick. I can see this one easily becoming a staple of my guitar harem. If I were to complain about anything it would be 1) The sound hole cutout could have been finished better as it is a bit rough (easily remedied though) and 2) The fretboard is stained almost black and would have been better looking in a more natural rosewood tone. Mine is the natural finish and looks like a piece of art. Next, I have my sights set on the new SE "One" model with the single soap bar pick up. Don't let the single P/U fool ya. That baby is sweet! Ten maybe the new PRS SE Paul Allender. Thanks to PRS for making it a priority to make higher quality guitars affordable for working stiffs like me.

Great Guitar!

This is a great guitar! I ordered it without having played this model since I have confidence in PRS. The finish (natural) is perfect. The set-up was perfect right out of the box. It is extremely fun to play. It has good tone plugged in and also good tone when it is not plugged in. For $600.00 this is a tremendous value for a quality semi-hollow body guitar.
