They're nice guitars for the price. The 25th Anniversary Custom 24 and Akerfeldt sig are really sweet for under $600 used.

I own 3 PRS SE's... a Korina Singlecut, an Akerfeldt singlecut and a 25th Anniversary Custom 24.
Amazing guitars when you consider their cost.
The only thing I don't like about the SE's is the low-quality plastic nut.
But that's all you'd really need to change, as everything else on the SE's is at least above average.
The tonewoods in particular are of excellent quality, as all three of my SE's has a very lively & resonant unplugged sound with each having it's own unique tone (in accordance with what you would expect from the woods used for each guitar).
So as a matter of necessity (IMHO) I upgraded the cheap plastic nut to a Graphtech Tusq nut.
As a matter of personal preference I installed Schaller locking tuners and have ordered BG pickups for each.
After the modifications, I much prefer my PRS SE guitars to any other guitar I own or have owned in the past, including my Ibanez PGM301 and an Ibanez JS1200.
And they still cost me far less.

I have a Singlecut SE, in which I swapped the stock PUs for PRS Tremonti Bass and Treble. Awesome guitar, with an amazing tone. You can tell when you play it dry that the woods are first class. Stays in tune fine with 10s, but with 11s which are my preferred strings, the nut needs some work.
Overall a great value. I don't think you can do any better in this price range or even slightly above.

I bought an SE Standard Camouflage for a stupid low price just for the hell of it. It plays very nicely, and its a lot lighter than my "real" PRSi. I put a hotter volume pot in it because it sounded pretty dull and now its a cool back up / novelty guitar.

I've been playing USA made PRS for years. I recently got to play one of these and was impressed. If I ever feel the desire to get a Floyd Rose guitar again, it'll be one of these.
