BTW - Noodle- how many pre-factory PRS have you played on - or are you just quoting what you have heard on the net?

Only 2, one of them belonging to my guitar teacher - And that's a bit unfair actually, since everyone I've spoken to that's played it, including Doug from BM, say it's one of the best guitars they've ever played.

Thats cool !

They are very nice if you get a good one.... Doug has had a couple of artist models that are nice as well

I only asked because on internet forums people tend to quote or repeat stuff they have read or heard without ever having experienced it firsthand.

You know the kind of stuff - someone talking about the good and bad points of pre-CBS strats and saying stuff as gospel (and telling others that they are wrong) and then you find out that they are 14 and have never played a Fender other than their mate's Squier strat.

Oh, and all insults of Spitz's PRS must be removed now.

IT HAS THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, HOW CAN IT BE BAD?!

I rest my case, m'lud. :roll:

If I wasn't a guitar builder I would probably love a Private Stock PRS to be fair....

And you would need to be a millionnaire! Those are really too expensive...minimum price is at about 25 000 euros.And there is no limit..Btw,i did play with some (2) pre-factory PRS and i'm not sure if they were "better" ...they did feel different and looked a bit different (the carving was more pronounced etc..) but i couldn't say if they were better.PS:i'm only talking about the original design Custom here...

Just been looking at the Mira and the cheapest around are shy of £1100 in the UK and dealers in the US are less then $1500.

How much does the shipping cost from the USA. The street price is $1500 @ £750 at the current exchange rate. Why is there such a difference in price?

you'd have to pay shipping but also import duty and VAT around 27% on top of your price plus delivery and if you take that into consideration and risk of shipping from US (you never know what might happen). Its pushing it a bit for an instrument you don't even get to play before buying. :x

that's not actually that much of a price difference, at least compared to mesas and the like- i'd wager with that amount of price difference, it's not worth it- customs and shipping are liable to bring it up to at least the £1000 mark.
