£399 is the se standard which are made in Indonesia and closer in spec to the original se guitars. You'd have to compare this to the Korean se245 which retails approx £600 in most stores.
Not likely comparable but most likely exceeding in quality.
It amazes me that people are so convinced that there's something special about Americans that their factory workers are going to be inherently better at making guitars in a production line than workers from other countries.
I snagged a USA fender jag for similar money.
as we get through the summer I expect to see the bought ahead dollars run out and importers having to pass those costs on.
this is a bit of a premium SE but currency post Brexit is going to hurt import prices.
I guess the S2 had to be introduced ....comparing to Fender:
SE PRS = Made in Mexico
S2 PRS = USA made Fender
Normal PRS = Fender Custom Shop
Private Stock PRS = Masterbuilt
Normally I'd say having lots of models and ranges is a bad idea and think brands should focus but I quite like the Prs business model of doing small run artist se models - keeps them in the news and if a model really sells fast they can look to making more or a US version.
I would still like to see the Bernie marsden as a full PRS though.
