NEW PRS SE Torero!!! EMG and Floyd Rose!!

[Justin Bailey]

Wow... we've got TWO PRS staffers here? Sweet!

A 7-string SE Standard or SE Custom would be awesome. I'd LOVE it if it could be like the old discontinued SE Standards in the satin-finished vintage mahogany or black stain. The ones with the arm contour. They were amazing guitars.

That (and a black stained version) with 24 frets would be KILLER.

absolutely agree, those where fantastic guitars. And the only time PRS ever offered there trem in black

this PRS?

and it's 3 staffers. i've been here few years under a few names(stupid bad memory for passwords/email addys).

 

[MFB]

I definitely prefer the black finish over the red, gimme some passives in there and I'll be good to go

 

[Duraesu]

is that the prototype? (asking this because of the apparently rosewood fretboard) how come that guy is playing one? *jelous mode*

 

[Dusty201087]

That certainly looks nice

 

[EBH Jaymz]

it is the prototype and i'm playing it cause i frickin rock!!!! (or because i work on the artist guitars/PRS Tech Center and they let me borrow it to put it through its paces, but i like to think its cause i rock!!!)

damn you sir


now we want pics of the red one

 

[EBH Jaymz]

yeah. i only have the black one here. i want a pink/green sparkle one myself.(its coming soon)

like this one

 

[darren]

That's a fine-looking guitar. (The black Torero.)

Now make one with the correct number of strings. (Please?)

 

[EBH Jaymz]

i'm pushing for one. get some real buzz/push going and we'll see where it goes.

 

[darren]

There's been "buzz" going all the way back to some of the early Private Stock sevens. Generally, we only get pumped about a new seven if the company gives us an indication that the chances of it happening are greater than "slim to none." So far, PRS hasn't given any indication (until you guys posting here very recently) that a production USA or SE seven is anywhere remotely a possibility.

Every time a photo emerges of another PRS artist playing another seven, everyone gets excited, and then disappointed that it's beyond the realm of accessibility (read: affordability) for most players.

A USA Standard, Custom or Singlecut seven would be amazing. An SE version of the same would also be fantastic.

Good post, dude. I think that pretty much sums up how we all feel. I know for me personally, I'd pick up a PRS 7 in a heartbeat - assuming it's not a Private Stock.

 

[Nightside]

i have to say that black one does look very tasty

 

[EBH Jaymz]

yeah. i understand. i have been trying for one for a long time. as james said, PRS is getting the opportunity to be more adventurous with the SE line. if there needed to be a push for one, now is the time. as you can see, PRS is starting to realize that there are players out there who want one that is are not into the "classic" PRS as their main instrument.
and they have a hit with this Torrero. i took it out for the show just the other day and had my BC Rich Wave (my main guitar for 4-5 years) and did not once look back to the Wave and want to switch.

 

[darren]

The Torero in a seven-string version with passive pickups (PLEASE no EMGs!) in Floyd and fixed-bridge versions would be awesome.

 

[Nightside]

The Torero in a seven-string version with EMG pickups (PLEASE no passives!) and Floyd would be awesome.

i definitly agree

 

[Fred the Shred]

This, most definitely. No more EMG's as the only option, please...

 

[darren]

I have nothing against EMGs, except on seven-string guitars, where the soapbar form factor severely limits the options for replacement.
