Thanks i do the same, i ask here too just in case someone here have one of this beauties :D.. Really beautiful guitar.

While I do not own this specific guitar, I have a Paul Reed Smith Santana SE model. In comparison to the Fender Stratocaster, the PRS has a set neck compared to a bolt on Neck for the strat. I do not know if a technical argument can be made for the set neck being better per se, but it sure seems superior to me. The overall quality of the Paul Reed Smith guitar is well beyond that of any similarly priced Fender models I have experienced. I cannot say enough nice things about the brand in general, and I would buy another one in a heartbeat. All of the PRS SE models seem pretty similar at least in terms of build quality and basic features in my experience.

I actually do own this guitar and I love it. I'm very impressed with the overall quality of the guitar. For example, the fret work is excellent and is what you would find on more expensive guitars. The humbucker pickups have very good tonal variety and goes from a thick ballsey sound on the bridge to a very smooth sound using the neck pickup. The guitar has good sustain and is an overall joy to play.

One thing you'll want to seriously consider: It's called a 245 for a reason. You may know that it has a 24.5 inch scale neck. That makes it a quarter inch shorter than a Les Paul and a full inch shorter than a Fender Strat. Great if you have small hands or don't spend a bunch of time above the 15th fret. Otherwise it can get a bit tight. This is certainly not a deal breaker and may actually be beneficial for you. Hope this helps.
