PRS SE Custom 24 vs Ibanez S420.

[Jumpin'Jellybean]

Nothing in particular thought his sig guitars are quite awesome and didn't want people thinking they're you're normal dual hums.

Anyway neither guitar would have been my first choice versatility wise. To the op, before u make your purchase do try a ssh guitar with coil taps. An eg.. Would be yamaha Pacifica 212. Ssh + coil tap + quilt/flame top for $600. Truly hard to beat.

The flamed/quilted maple top does NOT add to the versatility. Shioks76 is talking about the range of tones the Pacifica's 5-way toggle and coil-tap ability offers, which is quite a wide range of tones and thus it's quite versatile.

Point of note, although I agree that the Pacificas are very versatile, tone-wise, Pacificas tend to be bright and twangy, closer to strats, superstrats and fatstrats. If you're looking for Les Paul-ish tones, Pacificas might not suit you. Of course, your equipment also plays a major part in your sound.

I'm clear... I just don't want other readers who are new to get a wrong impression.
