Another addition to the PRS family

Thanks to Matt for the deal of the century. I'll let the photos do the talking:

Jealous! One of only a couple of PRS's I covet!!

[GrantB]

Wow...that's flash

[Zaulkin]

I think this is the best looking PRS you own... Would be even better without the gold hardware

I was slightly put off by the gold hardware to start with, but if you're gonna go bling, you might as well go full bling!

And it plays as fantastically well as it looks. Slowie gave it a good workout last night, he will be along to give his review shortly.

WOW!

WOW!

That's exactly what I said when Matt quoted me the price!

Some Say:
That PRS are the Masters of Bland
And they only suit those with dimed Triple Rec's and tea cosies on their heads.

All we know is:
This could be one of the most versatile and beautiful guitars made...by anyone.....ever.

Seriously, in the flesh it looks like a work of art... it is a work of art. The flame is 3D, fit & finish is perfect and it's feather light.

It was the sound that got me though. It has the quality of tone that has you strumming a single chord and just listening to it fade away. Clean tones on all 3 Humbucker settings are glorious and the piezo does a great acoustic impression; warm and pleasing with nothing quacking for miles around.

Conway's got more grit under his fingers than me and by the time he'd kicked on a Sybil fuzz and DLS, this baby was roaring and snarling like an annoyed Rottweiler. Being a full hollow body, I'd love to try it with a band and explore the edge of feedback levels. It could be a lot of fun!

I said last night "This is the only guitar you'd ever need". It isn't. It doesn't cover Strat territory if that's what you want. But it does pretty much everything else.

Conway has a twin P90 PRS that I instantly bonded with. I really liked its personality. This one's different. It's a magnificent and capable music making tool that can strum a ballad, comp some Jazz, deliver a soaring solo and as an afterthought, rip your face off.

I need a lie down. I'll be in my bunk.

Please excuse me while I drool all over my keyboard

Cheers Slowie for those comments, you have a fine way with words, my friend. I think I need to print it out and frame it!

No problemo Buddy. Is Monday good to collect Red?

And I was 24h too late in my email to Matt. Not that I probably could have afforded it.

Dibs.

Very nice. I think anything else but gold would look out of place.
