Thanks Jim (and all) ... the only "problem" now is, I am beginning to think of my next PRS ... I am sure none of you all have any idea what that is like ...

I own 3 a 1999 CU22 Soapy, 2005 CU 22 Artist Package and 2008 Hollowbody Spruce. All three are great. The Hollowbody is really special. Amazing tone. I had an early singlecut. It did nothing for me so I sold it.

I really like PRS guitars. I'd like to try a hollowbody one of these days. I own two right now but actually thinking about unloading one.

Yes! I have been researching the P22, watching video demos and hoping to be able to test drive one really soon. The versatility would be great for the stuff I play. Gathering funds is the hard part ... I may have to sell a couple of things to get serious about a P22 acquisition. Let me know how your travels go in regards to obtaining a P22.

I just picked up my first PRS in a trade last week and WOW, what a guitar. It is an SE Semi Hollow Body and it sounds fantastic! I have never played the USA made models so I can only imagine that they are incredible. I've been looking for the right electric for a while. I had a Gibson Les Paul and a custom built Telecaster, but like this PRS much better than both.
I am a new PRS fan for sure.

I play on a worship team every week and this guitar is like a dream guitar! I would not have to drag my 816CE to church any more and no sore fingers after LOOONG worship sessions! OH BTW these guitar can rock out just fine too I will be letting my 2011 Les Paul studio go though. as Much as I would like I can not keep both! ( hmm maybe I could sell my boys prs SE245 and give him the LP! -- it is a very nice LP. have had several comments on the tone and playabiltiy-- I think I actually got a GOOD one)

I've had PRS, including Private Stock and after playing a Nik Huber I sold them all. Hubers are unreal.

I had the same reaction when I first came on this board. I had only played Taylor's and Martins and these guys were raving about Olsons, Ryans, Goodalls, etc, etc. Until I tried them I never really know how good they are and how much I was missing. The trouble with only being able to go to Guitar Center and other stores than only carry big production brand guitars. Until you play them you won't know. Doesn't mean PRS is good, heck I bought a bunch. It's just that these are that much better to my ears. Last edited by 690MBCOMMANDO; 10-01-2012 at 06:00 PM. |

I love my PRS. It took a lot of penny pinching to save up for the Custom 22, but if you're looking for a guitar that sounds/plays like a dream and will last you a lifetime, it's well worth it. Oh, and did I mention they look like a million bucks??

I think PRS are great guitars.
I have a McCarty Korina w/ Brazillian fretboard and a Hiland. I swapped out the Hiland pups with SD P-Rails that allow me to have the P-90 sound AND the HB both. I took the tone knob and replaced it with a push-pull to activeate the HB. I then wired for two volume controls instead of tone and volume. I ended up with a ton of flexability and by setting the volumes to different levels with both pups on there are lots of sound choices. If you have not had a chance to try a PRS with an IRW NECK (not fingerboard) try it and prepared for something totally different. Not for everyone, but really a jewel to play. Lastly, the SE line is great for what it is. I would pass on anthing Gibson in their lower lines for the SE. I came close to buying an SE One (P-90) and thought the only Gibson that sounded close was the BJ Armstrong model at 2.5X the cost. For those of us who have owned mostly Fenders they are a different creature by a bunch, but I like the differences.

I've got an eye on some of the Stripped '58 singlecuts Wildwood has on their website. I love Les Pauls, but the stuff Gibson is doing to them now is irritating to me. Chambering? Weight relief? No thanks. If I wanted that I'd buy an ES.

Chambered has been common with Les Paul's since the 80's. I wouldn't consider that to be "the stuff Gibson is doing to them now".
