an alder or ash tele wouldnt last as long :P

Hmm, IMO the Starla is pig-ugly... I have no doubt it's very well made, though.

Disclaimer - I hated PRS guitars until I got the chance to pick one up on the cheap (relatively speaking). I changed my mind after about 10 seconds.
A-Pig 7s, Miracle Man & Mule, Cold Sweats... Expensive kit and no talent posse.

:lol:  The only way to know is try it... :D

Having been thinking about a FF for a while, not for playing, I'm sure I can't play it...

I can tell you for a start that you'll have to get through me to set light to my little puppy!  :shock:

You'd be surprised how easy it is to play a multiscale, Fernando - they're really not any different! It takes very little time to get used to it :)

I can't call myself seriously a "player" and get real small fingers :?
But Wez's and Blackmachine's FF have been coming on mind quite a while that I'm intrigued to build one, just for fun... But it's a long way from where I'm now on building :(

I think it's you old guys who love Gibsons.  Us young guns love the new makers  ;)  :lol:

I've just never found the Gibson 'vibe', but others (like Martin) can't get away from it.

Horses for courses!

didn't you used to like gibson about 6 months ago? :lol:

i just like everything... :lol:

A funny one with PRS and me, this thread has made me think about it a LOT over the last few days...

I don't like the Mira or Starla one bit, but i love the CU/CE 24's and Singlecuts...

Though with the CU/CE's, it HAS to be a 24 the 22's just look too smooth from what i've seen, and it has to be a nice  vivid paint job to that helps the body contours really 'pop' out and it looks amazing. The 22's just don't do that for some reason...

After playing one the other day... they're just amazing, they sound real good, sustain's real well and most importantly the feel, there's nothing in the way, it just plays completely naturally, there is nothing getting in the way of you and your playing no matter, no resistance at all. I like Twinfan, have fallen in love...
