I see what you mean about the crazy swirly figuring!  


+1, very nice!


Cheers Dave.  It's really hard to photograph, as is the colour.  It's a bit like amber that gets more orange with more light.

The figuring is superb, really different.  I'm surprised by how bright sounding it is - REALLY resonant wood with massive sustain.

I'm a PRS convert.  It blows socks off what Gibson sell for £1000-ish.


:)

and they aint easy to take pics of, my red SC is a beeatch to photo

I know just what you mean.  Of course now there's a danger of going PRS CRAZY...

Take a deep breath.  Hold and count to ten.  Think PRS-free thoughts.  Relax.  Repeat for several months...

:lol:

I can't afford anything else at the moment.  Certainly until all the gear I've got for sale sells!

I probably need to sell a few more things too....

I must admit, I'd find it quite hard to resist a McCarty Korina should one ever cross my path.

Assuming I could lift the damn thing.

Talking about Korina (just to help draw the attention away from PRS and therefore create confusion, probably weakening the GAS by removing focus), what about it: http://www.hamerguitars.com/?fa=artistdetail&id=296

Wow. There's a statement!
Ok, here's the deal; you know how I feel about BM... I mean PRS's, but when we next meet up, we can do back to back with my B****** equipped SG (and yours?) and if it's that good, I might, just might, consider getting one!  :wink:

Imagine me with a lawyer guitar!

I would love a Korina Vector - I even collect pictures of them!  :oops:  

But the cost is way over £2,000 - and I'm never paying that much for a guitar.

(The removing focus thing does work, by the way, Hunter.  Cheers!  :) )

Deal.  It's worth comparing:

Your 60's Epiphone
Your Gibson SG Standard
My Gibson SG '61 reissue
My Epiphone SG
My PRS Mira

Could be interesting!

Can you film this Clash of the Titans and put it on YouTube?  Could be very interesting.
