PRS Tremonti SE Electric Guitar

The Tremonti SE is a cheaper version of the Tremonti signature model, priced at about $500.  While it bears the Paul Reed Smith brand name, it is manufactured by World Musical Instrument company, which is based in Korea.  However, even though it is not made in the PRS factories, it generally lives up to the Paul Reed Smith name.  Among the differences between the two are that in the Tremonti SE the body is thinner and made of lighter wood, the pickups are downgraded, the neck lacks bird inlays and the special 12th-fret inlay (there are dots instead), and the tuners are not locking.  However, Mark has praised the guitar and has been quoted as saying that he warms up with it backstage.  With upgraded tuners, a bone or graphite nut, and higher-end pickups, it can be quite a mean axe.  The Tremonti SE is available in Black and Platinum finishes.
