Ever since PRS released charcoal burst singlecuts I've had more Gas than an incontinent 90 year-old!

Then this popped up used at a PRS dealer and I knew it had to be mine. For those that dont know its a PRS Tremonti signature with a 10 top.

When I went to look at it/pick it up It looked brand new! When I had a chat with the guys from the shop they said a regular PRS collector had it for less than a month in his collection (of over 50 PRS's!!!!!!) and ended up trading it in for a private stock. It was so pristine I doubt it was taken out of its case more than once or twice.

As for the sound its slightly thicker than my other tremonti mkII but this through a Mesa MkV absolutely kicked ass. aggressive, tight (once i turned the bass down!) and crunchy.

I would say its the last guitar I will buy for a while but we both know how long that lasts for! lol

Do you find there's much difference in tone/sustain between the trem model and the hardtail?

Both of the trem tremonti's I've got the treble is a little more rounded/less aggressive and a little middier were as the hard tail is bigger in the low end and more aggressive but all three have a very similar character.

I'll sort a group shot tonight :P
