PRS SE Singlecut Soapbar

Any one own one of these yokes? They seem to be available new for about 400 yoyos on EvilBAy. I like the P90s and the one-piece bridge. Seem to get good reviews and be well made.
Your distinctive opinions and experiences will be assimilated into my own.

Good guitars for the money Johnny. They play well and sound good. I used to play my mates one a good bit, the only thing I wasnt too keen on was the plasticy thick feeling finish.

However, if its a twin p90 workhorse you're after....

Do they use the Seymour Duncans designed for the full on PRS? Great pickups if so, it must be said, real nice trademark P90 spank to them with both of them on.

I don't know about the Soapbar, but i've played a regular SE model a lot, and IMO they're very good guitars for the money...they just have a simple solid quality about them.

Thanks for all the info.;)

That looks awesome. I'm a big fan of SGs these days..

Does it come with one of these?

Yep, that SG is pure Who alright.

Back on topic Johnny are ya thinking strongly on one of the PRS? Check out Reverend guitars too ...

Some real nice p90 guitars in there. Punchdrunk is a big fan, I think he has a few of 'em (though his are the older US made ones).

PS: The SE PRS dont use the same SD p90's that Doc mentioned. They still sound good though.

I'm really in the humour for a doublecut LP Jr with one P90 - thinkin' Johnny Thunders / Mick Jones. But those PRS Soapbars seem to have sone hard-to-beat value in them.

Maybe Edwards might be worth considering?

How do I make this happen?!

Doctor J · 18-09-2008 2:25pm

Ishibashi should have them, I've seen a few in the u-box too over the last few months.

Edit -> just had a look... maybe not

fish-head · 18-09-2008 2:49pm

Alas and alack! Those Edwards Juniors rock my socks.

boycey · 18-09-2008 9:19pm

Gordon Smith do some great Juniors/Specials too apparently. They often appear on Ebay at very good prices. Ive never played one though.

Check out the Tokai TJ60 too , I remember guitarist giving it a terrific review, let down only by a lousy pickup. That'd be easily fixed though.

option 3: rob Dords new one when he's out:D
