It's the Ibanez hollow and semi-hollow guitars I'm most interested in; unfortunately the AM models only seem to be available in the USA, or I'd definitely be after one.

Re-vamped PRS Nick Catanese SE!  :D

No "ET" logo on the body, no red binding.... it's just queue-jumped the Fredrik Akesson SE for me....

Ooh, I like that! Are they EMGs? They would need to go straight away!

Haven't had EMGs for a long time, so I'd give 'em a go.... but I have a set of Cold Sweats looking for a home.

Isn't that almost exactly what you've been looking for?

I'm not a PRS fan but if I every were to want one it would be the White Navarro and it's nice to see an SE version finally!

Presumably the ones with "R" logo headstocks are expensive US models?

Nope.

It is pretty much spot on!  The ebony board is the key feature, I'd just about settled for the Akesson (almost bought one this week, in fact) but I prefer the single volume and tone setup of the Catanese.  It will be mine.  :D

The Navarro SE looks pretty cool as well.

It seems they're getting rid of some of the "quirky" features of the signature models, which should improve sales - no silly body art on the Catanese, a more vanilla colour for the Orianthi, no third pickup on the Henderson.  All good, IMO.  :)

Bring back the early '80s! 

Please for God's sake NO! The world doesn't need more pointy-looking guitars  :D


I'm talking pre-Jem here.  Stuff like this:






The artist series does look good. I would defenitely take one of these over a Jem model. Soft contours for a soft man  :D

I've actually never tried EMGs. I just don't like the look of them. Good to see a nice plan fretboard on this model as well - looks nice and minimalistic. I've now seen 2 PRS today that I really like and have GAS for!

Interesting amps: Two Rock Exeo 15 watts, Toneking Falcon combo 12 watts, Fender Pawnshop amps Excelsior and Greta. Carr comes with a 45 watt EL34 amp with low/highgainswitch, 65 Amps launches the 28 watt EL34 Producer-head and the 20 watt 6V6 Ventura-head.

The falcon looks nice. I love those old school aesthetics. Like the old WEM's and stuff. TV fronts.

I'd like them more if the fathers offered were more up to date whilst keeping the retro look:

An accordion input won't get much use......
Tremolo ? I'd rather have a tone stack....
