That sounds uncomfortably like a Koch joke...

On the played vs not played I suspect a slightly battered Les Paul Played by Hendrix or Jimmy page would be worth more than the minter kept in a box ? So there is a moral get it out of the box and become famous and you will make more money - no wait if your famous the money you make on your guitar wont clean the windows for a year on your 5 mansions - there is just no way to win.

I saw what i was after a mccarty tobacco burst custom 24 but it didnt have a rosewood neck which is my ideal spec......instantly holding the rosewood neck i knew i had to have one so the guy checked with the PRS stock importer and they didnt have any with my combination and it would take 9 months to get one + they would be a the new prices and not as cheap, as shops buy in higher volume and negotiate the price down but a one off order would be expensive @ £2800 for everything i wanted.

Just found this - don't know if you're interested????????

Custom 24, McCarty Burst, Birds, Rosewood neck, £2500:

I had seen that one but tbh i really like this guitar. It just feels right. + its quite a bit cheaper. I went there looking for some idea and prefered this. This was a big investment for me ( i got a bonus for finally qualifying as an accountant after 3 years of exams, no sarcastics comments please about accountants  :lol:) and i'm not planning on spending anything like that again for sometime. Thanks for looking though.

Had a chance to play it on my amp last night and its really good. The whole body just resonates. When you hit a chord whilst sitting down you actually feel a tingle on your leg as the whole body resonates.

If I ever decide to change i'll let you know but i dont see that happening for a while.

No probs mate - just wanted to let you know your original spec was out there  :)
