I picked up another piece of curly maple this week. (Actually, curly maple veneer on a mahogany body.)
I have apparently swallowed the PRS Kool-Aid...this is my second one. I found it at the local Guitar Center store sporting a clearance price that I just couldn't turn down. It's the PRS 245 SE model, and it plays and sounds even better than it looks. (The reflections in the pics below hide some of the figure in the maple, which has some curl, but not like the higher-end PRS models.)
This one and the purple SE Custom 24 I posted pics of recently are both nice steps up from most of my other guitars. I have quite a few "cheap" guitars that I like (and use) a lot. I like owning relatively inexpensive guitars that are a good bang for the buck. I have several $200 - $400 guitars that compare favorably to guitars costing three times as much. The PRS SE series is much the same, just at a bit higher price point.
