Okay actually, it's about the SE on MF's SDOTD today

https://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars ... 6000001000

So, I'm in a conundrum. I have 3 SEs (CUS 22, Custom Soapbar II and Custom Semi)

And as you can see, I got mine before the SE's got bird inlays.

I have consoled myself with the fact that I have bird inlays on some of my SX KY1/ISIS/SIS guitars:

but now, MF puts up this SE with bird inlays for a good price (it IS a good price, right>).

Soooo, I know it's MY decision, but I'm open to reasons that I either should or shouldn't buy it.

I'd say based on your many SX similar guitars in pic #2 above you already know the answer. As an enabler in good standing I'd say there are no reasons to not buy the SE with the desire inlays.

Hmmmm, you make a good point. I DO already have a Blue bird inlay guitar with trem. (Seriously, thank you... I honestly hadn't made that observation until after reading your post!)

. . . but you don't have a blue semi-hollow with bird inlays.

Sorry, I'm not very good at being a non-enabler. :lol:

I almost always error on the side of buying the guitar. It's in my DNA so it is a genetic predisposition.

The new SEs are just so good. And they look great. Current pricing basically seals the deal. I'm trying to come up with an excuse to get one.

I have had 2 SE's and they feel so good and easy to play. I only have the SE Paul's guitar now but recommitted to it by installing some locking tuners. So my answer...go for it.
