Let me start off saying that I looooove my Suhr Modern and PRS Core Custom 22, but I recently got this PRS SE Hollwbody II with Piezo and it absolutely kills. It was made in China and I'm blown away by the amount of guitar you get for the cash. I spent just shy of $1450(shipped) new on it. It came with a case. I was kind of gunshy about spending that much on a Chinese made guitar, but I'm so glad that I did. I've played and owned tons of guitars made overseas and they have gotten so damn good over the years.
I wish that suhr would revisit the Rasmus line. From what I remember, John wasn't too happy with the build quality of the Rasmus guitars so he pulled the plug. Might be interesting to see what shops overseas can do now.
Back to the PRS, I currently play in a tribute band and acoustic duo. The tribute band requires me to go from acoustic tones to over the top dirty tones to soaring lead tones. This guitar can do it in spades. The only thing I have thought about changing on it is adding a push pull to split the neck pickup to get single coil tones, but that's more of a desire. I can get away with the humbucker for now. it's that dynamic.
