Hi guys

Im not gonna ask anywhere else as telecaster forum is the place for true guitar knowledge.
I just watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQKvyqG7Nc4&feature=related

And I love that tone. Can anyone recommend me a cheaper PRS alternative not dirt cheap up to like 1000GBP ISH (preferably lower)

Im just looking to see alternatives to PRS SE oh and how do you find SEs for quality

:( dont seem to be able to get dillon in the uk any others?

The dillon in the ebay link above could be posted to the UK, just contact the seller for postage rates and see how it is... (ships to Europe etc)

I own a Raven RP350 that I bought way back in 2000. I often think of selling it, especially since I got my Les Paul, but for some reason I just can't seem to let it go. It's a really nicely-made Korean guitar, and every time that I pick it up I realize how much I like the neck. Until recently you could buy updated versions of this guitar at http://www.ravenwestguitar.com/elguit.html , but it appears that PRS must have finally forced them to stop selling them.

Check out the reviews at Harmony Central.

I've got an MIK Morgan Monroe Tempest PRS clone that I picked up a little over a year ago used (but it looks brand new - still had the plastic on the backplate) at GC for $179.99!

A steal, because I really like this guitar! Carved top, nice rosewood board, and the action was set up just the way I like it. Humbuckers sound great either clean or dirty. Stays in tune. Accurate volume taper.

I haven't been able to find out much about these MM's - I don't think they made many of them, but mine's a keeper!

Cory has made a lot of guitars that are in that realm. The Matt Guitar Murphy model is as nice a guitar as most could ever want.

I've got a great Tokai PRS copy but as mentioned, the PRS "SE" line is an awesome value, even moreso when you buy used, as always
