Damn you Phil!

Forgive me father, I have GAS-ed:

From seeing them "in the flesh", I have to admit the orange looks best  (:evil: damn you, Dave!  :wink: ).  I may have said this already, but it's not as "orangey" as it looks in pictures, it's more like a faded old Gibson cherry, like my Melody Maker.

But I do love the black, with the contours and slightly spiky PRS headstock it looks really streamlined and ready to rock.  I don't think it would even look out of place in a metal band (in fact it reminds me a bit of the Schecter the stupider-looking one out of Avenged Sevenfold plays.  Unfortunately.).

The vintage cherry and mahogany look a bit too "Gibson", and the lighter colours (powder blue, lilac, mint, sandstorm) look a bit too bright - and make the guitar look bigger.  I'd like to see a seafoam green one, I really can't decide if I like it or not.

This topic is not contributing well to my Custom 24 Trans Grey GAS. :P

There should be a Mira Club formed here.

And I like Philly's Mira better,  PDT_003

The thing that pushed me over the edge to buy it was the bird inlays.  I read earlier today that they've been discontinued in their current form to these new outline style ones (which I don't like).  I had to grab the guitar I liked now while I still could.....

Mmm I see what you mean about that. The outline-birds look a little odd.

So you're saying they only have outlined ones now? PDT_039

Yep, as of the very near future all guitars get outlines except for the 513 which has it's own style of birds.

Now you see the reason for the GAS attack???   :roll:
