I'm looking for a new guitar, since I only have my Epiphone Les Paul Special II (which isn't cutting it for me anymore, after one and a half years of playing). I love the PRS SE Torero, but I'm also concerned about the price and the fact that I can't easily change tunings. Any advice you can give me on buying a new guitar to replace my current and only one?
It all depends on what tuning you play in the most really, I play in standard tuning a lot so I have this guitar left in standard tuning pretty much all the time. I have other guitars for different tunings like drop D or drop C for example. If you change tuning a lot I'd definately steer clear of a guitar with a tremolo because they really are a pain.
Ibanez, ESP LTD and Epiphone have guitars in this PRS price range that are great. It all depends on what kind of music you play really.
My wife, "Santa", lol, Has decided to let this be my Christmas present this year after me reading every shred of info and review on it I could...cant wait!! Im a Gibson guy, but I know Im going to like this...
awesome cover man :) also, how highly would you recommend this guitar? i recently bought a 7 string guitar and pretty much regret it because for some odd reason, playing it actually feels more restricted than playing a 6 string, so i need to get a 6 string again, and this realy seems great. but i just need to hear from an owner of it whether its good or not? cheers.
It's a great guitar, loads of output from the EMG's, clean tone isn't fantastic but there aren't many guitars with EMG's that sound great using clean. It has a fast neck and frets are easy to access. They're no fret markers which takes some getting used to (markers on the top of the neck obviously) and it generally just feels really solid. The floyd rose is really stable as expected, it should also come with a PRS padded guitar bag and some tools too, which is a nice touch :)
@xXMatthewCoreXx Thanks man :) yeah it sounds epic, definately built for playing metal! It was a little strange at first, mainly anything after fret 12 as the frets are obviously smaller so that took some getting used to! at least the markers are on the top of the neck :) without those I'd be screwed! lol
I enjoyed this a fuck load, good job =)

This guitar looks and sounds just amazing! Nice playing btw, isnt it a bit strange playing without markers on fretboard?
