on 11/07/2012 		It looks like a nice axe and improved (again) since the first Tremonti SE (remember the Gibson law suit over it looks to much like a Les Paul, later tossed out on appeal,(and could have made quite a profit selling as the prices used jumped like crazy, but it was a deal and a nice guitar and still have it and enjoy it. I bought one of the initial run of the PRS SE Tremonti (Silver) for our Son (and myself) and for the price , the build quality and tone far surpassed anything near the price , and if I am correct the (Non-Custom ) is one of the least expensive PRS SE models out there (and the dual humbuckers have been upgraded as well. Ours is made in South Korea, I did not check where this one is made but the PRS SE are made in South Korea , as are Schecter's (yet Gretsch Electromatic's are made (some in China or most)and some in South Korea, Fender makes guitars in the USA, Mexico, China, India and Indonesia and other places probably(while off PRS SE topic) Fender's Squire and Vintage Modified and Jaguar-Jazzmaster'sand Telecasters + > are made well and some at $249 and 299.00 , Sure China Exports too much and that needs addressed but South Korea and the Guitars they make are solid buys (imo) Peace (I can in now way afford a USA PRS Guitar ( probably ever )
