No, this is not a reference to the forum....
Which PRS inlay do you like better?
-
For a long time I thought birds were too blingy and I would only consider PRS guitars with moons.
Over time, the birds have grown on me..... but I still only like the older solid abalone (or paua) birds, I'm not keen on the newer "outline" ones.
-
Moons, always.
-
Doesn't bother me - as long as it was not Eriza Verde I would take either.
-
Birds though I do have 2 PRS'. One with birds and another with moons.
-
I personally think the birds can be a little "obnoxious" on some guitars, however when I think PRS I think bird inlays. I would probably not buy a PRS without the birds.
-
I like birds (in more than one way).
-
I always wanted to do a partial bids inlay on one of my guitars
They would only go up half the neck and the rest would just be scattered feathers and finally a plump cat sat washing a paw as the last inlay.
OK - a bit twisted but it appealed to me
-
Neither - I prefer Celtic Knots ;)

Why do people hate Eriza Verde? It's an awesome colour! :P

Come on, that's like throwing PRS into a Gibson vs Fender argument!
-
My superstrat has falling leaves inlay. Pretty I must say. I like birds too.
-
Birds.The original birds are tasty .Not blingy at all for me.But i like moons too...(had 2 ) :)
-
Birds all the way

Clay dots :D
-
One of the things I do like about the birds is that, because they're irregularly shaped, you don't have that problem of dots (or moons) sometimes being inlaid a bit off-centre. I know it has no effect whatsoever on playability, but it really irritates me!
-
Philly - for example on a nice USA Singlecut Trem with Artist pack?
;-)
-
:lol: Wanna buy it, Mike?
-
I like it a lot - but Mrs L would shoot me...
-
Ah go on, you might escape with just a flesh wound! :P

is that a Patrick Eggle guitar? i really liked the falling leaves they did
-
Nik Huber's dolphin inlays are nice. Beautiful work, but on "overall impression" I don't think they work quite as well as PRS' birds. Maybe because they're all basically the same shape rotated through different angles.

For me prs = birds. End of.

Sorry Philly ... really don't like it. I suppose it's easy to touch up any paint dings ................. PDT_005

With Birds vs Moons, I've one of each - think I prefer the older birds to the newer ones.

Yes, made by Patrick Eggle for Maximum Guitars in The Hague. They now do a new MXG-run, I saw. Don't know if the quality will be on par with earlier series.

I do like those falling leaves. :)

Some people just have no taste Philly. If I get another PRS, it will probably be Eriza Verde. I like the old bird inlays too.
-
Clay dots :D
Yes, exactly.
I'm a luddite.
-
I don't have strong views either way but I'd probably say moons.
-
What, no love for 2,000-piece mammoth ivory dragons? ;)

Is there even such a beast?

Some would say the dragon is a mythical beast, but.....

That is just gross. In a good way of course :lol:
-
Way too much bling for my taste.
-
Ah, I didn't realise that's what you meant. How many hours does it take to put that jigsaw together I wonder? There was one of those in PMT Birmingham for ages.... £25,000 if I remember correctly.

Yes there was one in Mansons Exeter.

That seems kinda cheap!
-
old solid birds for me on a Cu 24/22, think if i was buying now it would be moons

Love this idea!
-
I like both. Moons are a great take on standard dots, but PRS = birds to me. So probably have to plump for birds, but preferably the old or artist style rater than outline or dirt birds.
Ditry birds are a different conversation entirely
-
I think the moons are cool and a great idea, but unless you're right in front of the guitar, you can't see the moons, they just look like dots.
-

Ah, but that's the subtlety of it! :)
After some recent sales, I no longer have any PRS guitars with birds. So I guess I'm a moons man again. I would still like something with the old-style birds though....

I guess that's true, but it's like an inside joke that only you know about!
-
Moons, I think the birds look tacky and awful!
