PRS SE 245 Electric Guitar Vintage Sunburst

I use this guitar when I jam with my friends 2 nights a week. This guitar sounds great and rocks, I would get it again. I trust the maker, PRS and was excited when I saw it for 15% off before the end of the year. It came with a gig bag which is nice, no complaints.

For the money, there isn't a better electric on the market.

I ordered the SE 245 in orange as a blemished guitar. Got a GREAT deal on it, but also have yet to find an actual blemish on it. This is probably the 2nd or 3rd time that I've ordered blemished equipment from GC and have never seen an actual issue. As for the guitar - would have been nice if it came with a case but for the price, and the fact that I got a PRS bag from my buddy for $10 (actually for $10 worth of beer!), it didn't bum me out too bad. Guitar arrived quickly, and packed well with no signs of damage. I think it was shipped with .09s on it - I use 10's and we're tuned down 1/2 step so when I changed the strings, I did have to do a little intonation adjustment which was SUPER easy, and quick. Played a whole night with the guitar a couple days after it arrived and it's amazing. I'd buy like 10 of these if I could. Stayed in tune all night, sounded as good as my Explorer and just rocked to play. Not to mention looking great too. I play through a Marshall JVM, and this guitar handles all the different tones pretty well. I did notice that when I was on 'clean' and my volume was down a little, it was kind of bass-y for me, but that's just something I will compensate for with EQ. All in all - these guitars are sweet - this is the 2nd one I've had (first was a Santana green one) and both were rock solid.

First off, I'm not a killer guitar player - by a long shot, but I've been playing off and on for years starting when I was 10. I'm 52 now. I do have quite a collection of guitars at this point including PRS Swampash, Several Ibanez, SG standard, Les Paul standard, Seagull A/E, etc . . . The SE 245 is different from all of them, but honestly about as nice as any of them for my ability which I would label as intermediate. I'm sure seriously accomplished players will see shortcomings most people never will. The shorter scale is always something I have to get used to,but after 10 minutes of "acclimation", it's off to the races. I REALLY like the tone and the WF neck (on some applications) and the look is off the charts nice. I'd definitely recommend this SE to anyone looking for a guitar that is likely up to anything most people can dish out.

I bought this guitar to give me a more well rounded arrange of sounds for when I play for my church's praise team and it is absolutely perfect. It can handle metal, rock, country, jazz, blues, or anything else you can throw at it. The neck is superb and allows you to play up and down the frets very quickly. Sustain is killer. I've never heard a guitar hold notes for as long as this one does, especially for the same price. I also love the look of this guitar. I got the Tobacco Sunburst finish and it is beautiful. I also really enjoy the bird inlays on the fret board. If you have only ever had a starter guitar and are looking to move up in quality, this is the guitar for you.

I have owned guitar for 3 months and am fully satisfied with it. Replaces a Epi Les Paul Studio and is a better instrument in all ways. It is more attractive, better finished and sounds much clearer and far more articulate. The LP was my main guitar for 8 years but I gradually wanted a less muddy sounding guitar. Treble notes do not sink in the mud but contribute to a fuller more satisfying sound. I recommend this quitar if u want a better instrument without the added cost of a Gibson. Highly recommended.
