PRs se 245 on steroids as birthday present Im busting to give it to our son

Wednesday was the day our twelve year old turned thirteen. We had a nice little family get together and we gave him a awesome chess set as a birthday present . Well today we’re having a surprise party and my wife will be getting it ready as we all head to Maryland to get some tubes. I need em for this amp I’m building. Well I had a friend of mine take this 2017 prs se 245 I bought used on Craigslist and had him replace all the hardware with prs parts. So I had him put in 57/08 for the neck and 59/09 in bridge. As well as new wiring and prs pots. Well I stopped around yesterday to pick it up when the boys were in school and brought it home and played it. And it is awesome guitar it will hold its ground with my sc 245. I did not even let his brother know as loose lips would probably tell him. Well we’re heading out and I cannot wait to get home so he can play this awesome guitar.

PRS Paul Reed Smith there the Korea and Indonesian made guitars. Compared to the American made high dollar guitars that they make. SE stands for student edition but they are awesome guitars. And with upgrades it is a tone machine. Three hours to surprise party we’re having burgers and shakes at the moment.
