NEW PRS's for 2014

[obZenity]

Are these ZM SEs going to be full depth like the Akesson or SC245, or like the Mikael sig (thinner)?

They've done the carved/beveled veneer tops for a while now, actually. I think that started back in like 2011 or 2012 IIRC. Definitely an improvement as far as I'm concerned too! They started with adding the birds, then putting the carved top on there as well helped a lot to make it a little bit closer to the real thing as that part of the PRS aesthetic was something a lot of folks missed from the SE lineup.

I didn't know about the carved tops and veneers, this makes me sort stuck in a three way tie between saving up for a Gibson Les Paul T, a PRS SC245 on Ebay, or going the cheaper route with the Zack Myers. It looks so good aesthetically and it sounded good in the demo he had, though he didn't really didn't do much except play a some blues shuffle riffs. Probably going the Zack Myers though as I've never had a semi-hollow guitar before.

the SE SC245 pickups are solid, a little thin for my liking but solid none the less. That bridge is just top though. I love the intonatable wrap around idea.

This makes me all the more excited to get my hands on one.

The Zack Myers sig is full thickness like the SE 245s. I played the prototype that we gave Zach and it was sooooooo rad!!! Just sounds, plays, and looks great!! The 245 pickups are one of my favorites and I really like our stoptail with the adjustable saddles. This guitar crushes!!!! TRUST ME!!

any news on these? that Zack Myers dude really knocked it out of the park with his sig, it really looks beyond amazing.

ive been wondering, does PRS go to namm, or they just do their own event, the prs experience thing?

They go to Namm as well as having their own event. Their Namm booth is usually always in the same spot and they have some demo spaces reserved in the upper floors.

Some links from Sweetwater. The PRS SE24 Floyd is a bit more expensive than expected. The Myers sigs is priced nicely, though.

Does the Se24 have jumbo frets? That green is gorgeous.

Those Floyd Custom 24s look killer, but man, that Zach Myers. Semi-hollow, wide fat neck, and birds? I might have to get another 6 string this year.
