Best value guitar!

This guitar is simply amazing! The amount of sounds and tones you can muster up is endless. I have never had a guitar with the push/pull function before, but man it is just like have two guitars in one. The look and feel of it is also out of the ordinary.

The only negative thing I would have to say about this guitar is the nut. To me it is ridiculous that they made such a "high end" guitar and they chose to use such a crappy nut. It looks and feels like a piece of wood you just found in your back yard, and painted by a three year old. I have read other comments about this guitar and it seems like this is a common problem. Basically you will have to change the nut to get the maximum out of your guitar.

I never knew that the quality of the nut was so important, but it actually is. That's why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars on quality. But it's an easy fix. Change the nut and it's right up on 5 stars!

PRS SE Mark Holcomb HB review

Incredible guitar for the price.

It can really stand up to guitars that cost thousands of euros.

Pickups are fantastic, the neck and the frets feel amazing, the top look incredible and its tuning stability even on fly-gigs is ridiculous.

Better than MANY guitars over 3k€ I tried in my life.

Beutiful looking guitar. pickups are worth a good £300 themselves out of the box looks stunning.

The pickups are a little tiny bit dark but i'm playing around with the pickup height to help cure that.

Feels lovely to play longer scale is far better as its a Fender scale on this model.

Cleans are nice, heavy is what it does best though

What an amazing instrument!

This is a very well built guitar, with amazing tones available from both humbuckers and their split "sides". Great clarity, powerfull enough for crushing riffs, but when I pull the tone knob for the coil split sounds I honestly thing I play a Fender.

The finish is simply stunning. You can't go wrong with this guitar!

Highly recommended

Beautiful guitar with beautiful sound

I am playing guitar for the last 15 years, having 5 more other guitars in a higher price range than this beauty and I can honestly say that this one has shared the first place in my heart along with my Music Man JPXI-7.

The guitar is in the intermediate price range but it feels like a very expensive instrument. Even unplugged it has really beautiful tone. The adapters are unbelievable - very colorful and responsive. This is the perfect 6 string instrument for any djent lover - very nice and easy to play neck, low string action, playing djenty chugs on this guitar is an absolute dope.

The one and the only downside that I can identify is the placement of the volume knob - I personally like it to be placed a little bit further from the strings. This way I am avoiding lowering my volume accidentally while soloing. But naah everything else is just perfect.
