SE Indonesia

You've seen this headstock before, nothing new; it's a PRS SE model.

What you might not know is that the 2015 SEs are now made in Indonesia. PRS has released these models to selected countries less the USA (they will get them in 2015). The clueless people will start dismissing these SEs in view of its 'demotion'. Well, it happened when Asian production shifted from Japan to Korea, then China took over, now Indonesia seems to be the choice. So with every demotion, people will dismiss the products even before a personal encounter; just because they are manufactured in a less favourable country, they are doomed to fail. 

On a separate note, we have the Ibanez Premium models to put it on record that serious craftsmanship defies geographical boundaries. I hope to give this generation of PRS SEs a fair appraisal come 2015. Stay tuned.
