I went out today thinking that i wouldn't buy anything and just keep saving money to get a custom guitar made for me. But then the devil made me look at a PRS Standard 24 in cherry finish. I never liked PRS' before but this one was just too awesome to not buy it. It cost me £900 in the end with only a few little nicks in the finish but you can't notice it till you get right up close to it. Here's a picture from the shops website

It's actually alot nicer looking up close and i'll take better pictures soon. I was close to buying an ESP Ltd EC-1000, but it wasn't too versatile and it was more looks than tone. Deffinatly not worth £900. I'm a happy chappy :D

That is Coda! Nice guitar btw!

Was is Stevenage or Luton one? The guys in Stevenage rule, and there is a guy there who looks like this dude i saw on Pimp My Ride UK, if anyone has seen that i'm talking about the guy who got that Hearse pimped!

hey, isn't that an irish expression?

:lol:
seriously, though, good score, man. I'll have to get to try some of the PRS CE's. And I agree that LTD's are way too dear over here...
:drink:

I have played only one PRS, and it was a Custom 24, but it was sharp as a tack, and clean as a whistle. Great buy and great looking guitar. Thanks for the post up and pic.

Tim was there? :roll:
(Sorry, Tim, the other thread made me say it). ;)
Nice guitar though, man. I nearly bought one myself once. I found it second-hand in a furniture shop, would you believe. But I hadn't been playing the guitar at all for a while and I figured I didn't need another one to not play.

I have one just like it - I put Rebel Yell's in it and they sound oustanding. I know you factored in the cost of a set of BK's :lol:
-
You just bought your first PRS? So you're already intending to buy more? :D
-
Looks really nice, if it plays anything like HJMs that I played at music live then its awesome!

Thanks for checking it out boys. I had to go to work last night and i didn't get in till 7 this morning. And i only woke up about an hour ago so i haven't had alot of time to play it. But even at work i couldn't wait to get home and play it, it's a shame i have work again this afternoon and won't be back till the morning :roll:

not sure what you mean by that mate :lol: bit confused there.
I've had some more time with the PRS now and i love it. The resonance is amazing and the clean tone is also amazing. By the way, i ended up doing a 19 hour shift that day i had to go back to work. 2 in the afternoon till about 7 or 8 the next morning. I was f*cked! :lol: luckily i got some time off now and hopefully won't be working till the weekend :roll:

PRS guitars rock! I drooled over them for years before finally getting one (Custom 24, Blue Matteo, Wide/Thin neck) :D Glad you like yours - when I got mine I had to rush straight from the shop back to work, spent the entire day fighting the urge to stop what I was doing, get the case from under my desk & play :twisted:
& I love Coda Music - particularly the Stevenage shop - every time I go in there I find myself wanting to spend a fortune :lol:

Cool guitar, looks just like Phil King's.
Now it's time to ROCK!!
-
:D Well done my man !!
For £900 i think you got a bargain !
Decided what P/U`s you want to put in it ?
:D 8)

gorgeous colour mate - I like the plainer PRS finishes rather than the OTT coffee-table ones.
:twisted:

That's the trouble with PRS's - once you have one you have to have another.
I currently have four. It's an illness!
