I really like the SE hollow as well as the LP Junior clone.

The SE One with BKP-P91s or the SemiHollow SE Custom with Rebel Yells will kick ass for sure!!

The new Tremonti Sig looks good, and the Johnny Hiland one is pretty cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9imuLRcCEI

The Johnny Hiland sig looks and sounds great, from the review in Guitarist this month.  

Not that I'm ever going to spend that kind of money on a guitar, unless I wake up one morning and find I've magically acquired the ability to play like a cross between Marty Friedman, Roy Buchanan and God.  :?

To me it looks like PRS is becomming just another mass market guitar brand.

Too many models with too many variations and too many signanture models of guitarists I never heard of.

Sorry.

Maybe you've never heard of them because you're into Rockabilly?
 PRS have been a mass market brand for a decade, they still make nice (if slightly overpriced) guitars though.

Interesting you mentioned that.  As I was looking at all those new guitars I was thinking by golly, there are a lot of different PRS models nowadays.  

Not that choice is a bad thing, but it does seem to dilute the strength of the brand image a little, for some reason.  I get irritated when I look at the Fender website and there are 50-odd different Strats, especially now they no longer seem to state the country of manufacture (the same when I was looking at BC Rich yesterday).

I suppose at least the whole PRS line is still based around 2 or 3 body shapes and proprietary pickups and hardware.  If they ever start offering Vs or star-shaped guitars with Floyds and Duncans they'll have really lost the plot.

No mention of the new Paul Allender PRS sig?

looks lush to me! bit too overpriced for an SE Custom style guitar though, i spose your only paying for the Bats and the Dark Purpleness...

I'm elderly, the bat inlays and gold h/w aren't doing it for me.

Quite like the colour though.

In a strange reversal of fortune, that Semi-hollow SE looks to me like a PRS rip-off of the Eggle Wave...

(In which case, BKP-91's would sound incredible in it...)

What the F**k are they doing with all those goddam BATS!

I really love the colour and would really consider getting one if it didn't have those STUPID BATS!

I remember having a chat with one of the guys in SOHO Soundhouse and he was saying that they had tons of those cr@p Billy Martin SE models left and going dirt cheap because the bloody big GREEN BAT inlay at the 12 thru 14 fret...

Will they never learn?

the Billy Martin bat is completely different to the Paul Allender bats. for one, the BM one is a cartoon with gay looking eyes, whereas the PA ones look more real. another thing, the BM ones are a sick GREEN colour whereas the PA ones are a nice standard inlay colour.
