Geno, curiosity is killing me.
You referenced a “perfect attendance bin”. …
Do they pick a guitar for you? Or …
Do you get to pick from what is in bin?

… and are there lefties in it? 🤓 None that I can see. I think there are a few SE models available as lefties. |

They used to have a Dong that inspected all of the SEs. I even sent them an email years ago inquiring about their Dong and they responded in kind telling me all about their Dong’s responsibilities. I posted the whole comical conversation on the old site.
Their PR fella at the time was a great sport all while staying nothing but professional.

I remember that thread.
Dong was at World Music (WMI) in the ROK, before PRS SE production moved to Cort.

So Dong is gone? He obviously took great pride in his work. I owned one of the Dong guitars and from a build quality standpoint it would standup against guitars twice the price. I wanted to love the guitar but, as is the case sometimes, just never really bonded with it.

I thought everyone bonded with their Dong.
I’ve never had one. I just heard….

I have a Dong SE Soapbar II. It's basically a double-cut LP special (double P90) beast.

If you’re referring to those red satin Gibby DCs, I had one of those and LOVED the P90s in it, but the fit and finish paled in comparison to the SE. As I recall, I had to do fairly extensive fret filing to make the thing playable without needing stitches. It had some other cosmetic issues that I overlooked only because the thing sounded great and that outweighed the fret sprout and leveling, wasn’t a big deal, just disappointing that Gibson let guitars with those issues out the door. |

Gibson seems to have gotten a grip on those issues in the last 10 or so years. My Gibsons range from 2012 - 2020 and they are nice - the Plek’d models more so. |

I've had a SE Paul's Guitar in Black Gold Burst on pre-order for a few months but now I'm sad that it won't get the Dong treatment.
The thing about waiting for a pre-order is I spend too much time looking for something else I might want instead. So far, I almost cancelled for a SE semi-hollow or a Gretsch.

Played my SE for the 1st time in a year or so. Nice. Now I remember why I bought it.
