K-one

The PRS camp is playing it smart in the mean time. Having signalled a one-up in terms of appeal & production standards for their upcoming 2020 SE range, they re-released the SE One to spark things off. This model was made available before & proved quite a hit in the niche camp. I have no idea why  PRS favoured this limited re-release to Europe only. It's like the rest of the world is unworthy of that little piece of landmark event. If these were made in a very small quantity here, I'm sure there would be a 100% take up rate as there are keen fans here. Regrettable move, they way I see it.

PRS SE: Korina One

This is a simple beauty- simply wonderful, simply well-made, simply attractive in every way. For those of us who thrive on limitations (because it pushes us to our limits & give our best, not relying on detailed provisions) we'd love PRS' SE Korina One. The other sweet factor here is the instrument's body wood: Korina.

The documented goodness of Korina is of course backed by the venerable Van Halen who used to own an Ibanez Destroyer made from this wood (circa Women & Children First). The subsequent hacking of this guitar's body which rendered the instrument irrecoverable is the stuff of legends. Recently, Paul Gilbert's Fireman 1 Ibanez guitar featured this wood for the body as well. But more importantly, the instrument's tonal goodness speaks for itself upon hearing it in action. The SE Korina One is now available at Davis GMC for you to hear just that, its list price is pending release, ladies & gentlemen.
