![]() ![]() My friend James Ridings over at Sweetwater said that I would probably like the SE Angelus A60E better but they were out of stock, and being in Canada, I prefer when I can, to support local music stores. They were not bad in any way, they just did not fit me. I have played in stores the Angelus SE A40E and the Angelus SE A50E and they were fine, but I thought at the time, that I could do better in tonal quality for the same or less money. It didn’t feel good and I really disliked the acoustic and the amplified sound. I love parlour sized acoustics, but the P20E was disappointing. I had tried the P20e and returned it within a week. I only preface this review because I enter the SE deep dive process with some negative bias. The Paul’s guitar and the 7 string signature (apologies, I cannot recall the name of the artist) did not work for me, and with the exception of the recently released DGT SE have never bonded with one of the SE models, despite their high build quality. I have tried other PRS SE electrics and come away underwhelmed. It fits me better, and as I tend to use baritones for ambient stuff rather than metal or other music happy in the lower register. The second which I play much more than the first is a few years old and is the same as the currently available SE 277 model with humbuckers. The first is a semi-hollow with soapbox pickups. Call it lack of confidence, selfishness or anti-social behaviour, it doesn’t matter to me, so long as I get some joy out of playing the guitar. ![]() I play for my own pleasure and except for this site, never share anything that I record, because I choose not to do so. The ones that I have bought, I have kept because although I may have more than one of a particular model, the instruments are sufficiently different to warrant doubles. I own a number of them acquired over 30+ years. Regular readers know that I am a fan and customer of Paul Reed Smith guitars.
