I do like a lot of the PRS USA's and Imports Ive tried. I can never afford the USA's so the only option was the SE for me. I lucked out and found a First year Santana Se for $250 locally.
Kinda plain looking but once setup plays like butter and has a crazy fast yet substantial neck. The pickups were really good and some of the best stockers on a low $$$ import Ive tried.
I had a Gibson 498/490 set that was originally for my Epi LPC and threw them in the Santana and Holy S#$T does this pair sound like a big brother PRS. The stock electronics were of better quality and the control cavity was completely shielded.
