Damn you Phil!

Forgive me father, I have GAS-ed:

(Mine has a black scratchplate, not tortie, like this one on eBay)

In my defence, I did try to talk him out of buying it on impulse....

From seeing them "in the flesh", I have to admit the orange looks best (

damn you, Dave!

). 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

Damn stop with the Mira-love!!! I want a Mint Green or Desert (Sand?) finish one SO much!

Oh but congrats Dave. :lol:

Haha nice Twinfan, you have to control you're gas though!

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

Twinfan · « **Reply #72 on:** February 11, 2008, 01:46:03 PM »

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:

Reason? You mean excuse...
