    Again I was out buying cases and found this.
    Made in China (I know I know)but is a damn cool guitar.
    Set neck P-100 Epi pickups.Grover tuners.
    Limited edition Epi custom shop (that's what the sticker on the back of the headstock says, again yeah right)
    Mahogony body and neck and rings like a bell unplugged.
    Pretty impressive guitar really, frets are crowned perfectly not a rough end anywhere.Fit and finish are top notch.Even the nut is cut right that surprised me.
    I saw it and thought ho-hum but the pickup config had me interested so I plugged it in and got quite a shock just how good it felt and sounded.
    The pickups are very P-90ish maybe a little more beefy than a stock P-90.
    I will put an RS pot kit in this one and keep it, didn't have a P-90 guitar so that's why I bought it.
    Very pleased with how it plays and sounds.Check one of these out when you see one.

      Not as hairy as an old Gibson P-90 but not bad at all.
      The rs kit will bring out some better tone I'm sure.I have a set of Fralin P-90's that might end up in there just going to wait and see how the stockers react to the rs kit.
      Have a DiMarzio P-90 sized super D too so who knows what will end up in this one.
      This guitar vibrates pretty strong all down the neck so with some age it may be a really good player.

        I picked up a used PRS SE Soapbar II for the exact same reason.
        Everyone needs at least one P-90 loaded guitar.
        There's some Mountain, Aerosmith, and plenty of other music out there that just demands it!

        Looks sweet stray.
        The Chinese are putting out some incredible quality.
        Those 6 year-olds can really work a fret file!
        Below, PRS, and Chinese Tele... good cheap fun, without fetting out too badly! LOL

          I re-strung it and gave a tweak to the truss rod and checked the frets with a straight edge and dead level. pretty good workmanship on this guitar overall. The sticker said hand crafted in China so I guess they put a little more effort in to the limited edition guitars.Intonation is close but I can adj that no problem.
          I have a Korean 05 PRS SE standard that is a fine guitar.
