I went into a guitar shop in Houston about 2 weeks ago and just for fun and boredom decided to play an Acoustic PRS SE Angelus.
First I tried the spruce top models and found them to be sound somewhat thin on the low strings. So I kinda figured "Done with that".
Then I decided to try the all mahogany version.
WOW.
I left and kept thinking about the guitar and it's sound.
So , I decided over the weekend to go back and play it again.
So I took down a few Spruce Tops and just started comparing them to the Mahogany.
It had super low action, the neck felt great.
This guitar sounds incredible. The lows , mids and highs all sound fantastic. The guitar has a lot of resonance and projects the sound without losing anything.
At this point the guitar shop owner came over and asked what I thought.
We then started comparing to Martins, Taylors and a few other high end guitars he had.
The Korean made SE Angelus held up.
For a budget guitar this is a lot of bang for your buck.
Mahogany top, back, sides, and neck, rosewood fretboard, bone nut and saddle, bound neck and headstock.
I purchased it and was happy with the deal and was kinda taken aback when the owner said it came with a hardshell case.
I know this sounds like a commercial, I was just excited about the whole deal.
