Paul Reed Smith Guitars Santana SE

Get the feel of a high quality guitar, like a PRS or Gibson at a reasonable price. Great value on sale in USA. Only reasonable at UK prices. The fairly medium fat neck - a bit like a Gibson 59 neck, perhaps a little slimmer - same as or similar to the expensive American made Santana signature models. A great first or second guitar. Suit blues, rock & probably jazz. Good enough to play professionally, cheap enough for a beginner & should have reasonable resale value.Fairly heavy but not excessive, lighter than most guitars of this type of guitar (PRS, PRS Santana I/II/III, Gibson Les Paul, Yamaha 2000).Decent pickups - most dual coils are - not overly harsh like some modern pickups, but as you might expect don't quite have the detail & sparkle I find in most Gibson pick ups (but thats a very personal opinion, I'm sure others would disagree).Once saw a new one on sale for $299, should have bought it but I didn't need another guitar. Seen them on sale for $399, still great value. Often on sale for $499, still reasonable value.
