Could you please explain what you mean when you say playability is a little less fluid than it could be? What size are the frets? Would this something I should be aware of when trying to size up other guitars?

Pros
Resonant, lively tone. High build quality. Looks very high-end.
Cons
Not everyone will enjoy the soapbars - shame on you!
The bottom line
The SE Soapbar II Maple has it nailed. It's attractive and looks far more expensive than it is, the dual soapbar P-90 single-coils have bags of character, and the build quality is exceptional.
