Extremely versatile. Very, very, very articulate yet warm enough to remind me of an SG, or a warm higher output Stratocaster. This thing flat out rules, and I've owned a number of different PRS models, including a CE 22 with alder body/maple cap. This one is not as bright as that, but retains the warmth of a nice Gibson type guitar, with the added snap of the classic Fender. Might be the best sounding PRS I've ever encountered, and plays like butter.

It's a plainer jane model -- with the solid one color painted finish, and no inlays worth talking about, etc. BUT, feels and sounds like one of the best guitars I've ever had. And, I've had everything from New Orleans Guitar Company, Gibson, Fender, PRS, Grosh, Melancon, Zion, Hamer, to Gadow and beyond.
