I have an SE with one upgrade (Tusq nut) and it is fan-fucking-tastic. Getting the guitar you actually want matters.īasically everyone has said something to this rough effect by now, but here's my particular story in case it helps to add to the pile. Just I wanted a Gibson and got talked into getting a copy which was not what I actually wanted. In the end I got rid of the Epiphone and got the Gibson. And every time I played the Epiphone I thought about how I wished I had just got the actual Gibson and not a copy. I got an Epiphone first because I felt it was more sensible. If you really want a Maryland guitar then going half way and getting a SE copy is likely to be something you regret. Some folks might make snide remarks about marketing and so forth but let their jealous words pass by. There is nothing wrong with this if you do. So don’t let resale value sway you.Ĥ: Think about if you want a Maryland guitar. Obviously there are exceptions for very rare and sought after guitars, but that’s not going to apply in this case. Excellent to mint condition guitars retail for around 3/5 of their new price. But a look at the real world figures on Reverb quickly show that all brands hold their value around the same. Lots of myths are out there about resale price and which brands hold value. The CE just adds some extra luxury into the bargain but you do pay for it.ģ: Resale price on them is no different.

The SE plays fine and just like a good Epiphone is more than enough to gig with at professional level so too an SE guitar is more than enough for anyone to use. So if you’re going to bankrupt yourself going the extra mile for the CE don’t worry about it. It’s very nice to have the beautiful finish, the machined steel and brass hardware, the hand-made pickups and so forth. And up close and personal you know which is which.īut that being said the SE sets a very high standard for the baseline.
Most recently I was looking at one of the limited edition CE Nitro guitars. I’ve lined them up next to one another a few times when looking at guitars to purchase. Anyone pretending otherwise is talking nonsense. There is a noticeable difference in quality between the SE and the Maryland guitars. So you might want to think about this.Ģ: Is the extra money going to break the bank. With this in mind I tend to stick to cheaper guitars for gigging. And I know of many cases where guitars have been stolen. Drunk people are prone to cause accidents and knock guitars over.
vibe.If it were me I would be taking a few things into account:ġ: Are you going to gig the guitar? If yes and you’re gigging in the kinds of places I do you may not want to leave a £1500 PRS CE guitar laying around. This is a great guitar with a very cool Les Paul Jr.
Lightweight, just under 7lbs on my bathroom digital scale but it could vary either way by a few ounces. Mahogany neck & body with a really nice rosewood fretboard. Much fatter than the 60s neck on my Les Paul. The pot is a dual pot so you have a volume and tone control. It clear, bright and punchy and cleans up well with the volume knob. It's not overly distorted like the name suggests. The SD pickups sounds great in this guitar. Unlike many coil splitting humbuckers there is no volume variance between any of the toggle switch settings. The bridge coil is bright, humbucker is fat & full, forward coil has a P90ish tone.

It has a 3-way mini toggle switch that splits the coils, bottom: bridge coil only, Middle: full humbucking mode and forward coil only.
