Decoding the title:
Model: SECU44CG
PRS – Paul Reed Smith, the manufacturer
SE – the ‘affordable’ non USA Made range
CU44 – Custom 24 the model type. This design features a 24 fret neck and is PRS’s most popular design.
CH – Charcoal Cherry burst – that’s the fancy name for the colour and the code PRS use to designate it.
Summary (Chris says..):
“Wow, what a beauty!! Sadly my photographic skills can’t do this guitar justice, it’s a real stunner. Much lighter in colour than many of the charcoal cherry burst finishes, and better for it in my opinion.
Being 100% honest I personally think PRS are excellent value. Every single aspect of this guitar seems to have been precision engineered and well thought out right down to the screws that hold the back plate in. We love servicing these guitars too because they are such a joy to work on. Truly solidly built to last (My personal guitar is a PRS Custom 22 from 2005 and it still feels like new). Tone is rich, yet powerful with bags of sustain. Tuning stability is great and by great I mean way better than other mahogany bodied USA made guitars! The 5 way switch gives you instant access to a wealth of tone – from classic funky American single coil tones, to classic American fat seering humbucking tones.
Every single member of Guitar Mania currently has at least one PRS guitar, some have sevreal. Just about every member of staff that has ever worked at Guitar Mania has owned a PRS too – as soon as you play one you’ll want one, and there’s so many at so many diferent price points that we’re sure there’s one that will suit you.”
