I've been thinking about buying a decent hardtail six-string for a few months now and after my daughter was born early last month my wife told me I should treat myself with a new dad gift. I was originally looking at used Schecter KM-IIs, SLS Elites, and Charvel So-Cals but fell in love with a SE Singlecut and a Holcomb 7 at my local Guitar Center. Two days later I was browsing Reverb during a 3am feeding and bought this
2019 S2 Singlecut Satin Standard with a custom pickguard and a Bareknuckle Silo in the Bridge. The previous owner was also kind enough to include the original pickguard with the PRS #7 pickups in the case. Spec wise it's a fairly big change from my active pickup equipped Jacksons and I'm enjoying it far more than expected. The plan was to swap the OEM electronics back in as I generally don't like single pickup guitars (one of the first people to take a router to a COW7) or Bareknuckles, but this guitar sounds and looks so god damn good that I'm going to try to live without a neck pickup for a while. It's extremely loud unplugged, has impeccable fretwork, and the satin finish on the neck has worn into a fantastic feeling slick semi-gloss.
After taxes and shipping this guitar was a steal at a little under $1k. It blows every other guitar I've owned out of the water and so I'm trying to convince my wife I need another one as a "surviving grad school as a dad" present
