Badger's PRS SE One. Yes, I know I'm too late but a Korina bodied single P90 is the one thing I still crave. There's an SE One on TM but it's black :bummed:
Does anyone know if all the SE's are Korina?

The main reason for the SE is they seem to be decent instruments at soup kitchen prices.
This is a Very Good Thing.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

They are NOT all Korina, they are usually mahogany.

They are such great guitars I've owned 3. So reliable, only thing about them is the plastic unit but that's a cheap fix, a pre cut tusq one does the job and will fix tuning woes.

The guitar I regret selling the most is a 2006 Tremonti SE, it was banged up and the finish was coming off etc. sounded and felt great. New ones can sound and feel a little sterile. Only sold it last year too.

Thanks for that. Since you seem to have your finger on the pulse, please think of me if you spot a well priced Korina One. :D

Will do, but the One that was on TradeMe recently was the first one I've seen in ages.

You mean this one? I assume it's Mahogany under all that black?

Broke my camera lens so need a new one ASAP. I try really hard to avoid the gear craziness of the photography/video scene but kind of creeps up on you when you realise that you've been reading review for 3 hours straight!

We're on day 12 now and my Suhr is still in Portland. Idiot shop I bought it from packed it in the worlds largest box (which exceeds max size for shipping via YouShop), and they still haven't confirmed if a smaller box is shipped in that they'll repack for me (YouShop that is). They seem to reply to my emails once every 2-3 days, and you can't call them direct. A little boy waits.

I ask sellers to confirm the size of the packaging and ask them to minimize it. I don't want to pay for a package that contains one of their catalogues when all I ordered was a little pedal.

I know a dude who has had a play with it. The chip itself does just about everything, so the PCB is super simple, just input and output caps, a bypass systems and if you want more than one program, an EPROM to store up to 8 programs. It's easy to program too
