NGD - I know I said no more, but...

I'm hoping so Phil, I'm hoping so:

* One piece top
* Natural looking maple
* No fake binding
* Rare colour
* Light weight

Got to be a winner, surely?  :)

Sexiest PRS I've seen!

:lol:

pic doesn't work...

i liked the mccarty i tried... very nice guitar. shame it was like £3k...

[Twinfan]

Pic fixed!

I love my McCarty Korinas, it's just in a two guitar band I need a bit more cut.....

I think that's about the first Maple-topped PRS I've seen that raised the "want" flag. That top is teh secks. To me, that's much, much prettier than the "flawless" tops some of 'em have.

[AndyR]

Not bad, not bad :D

I'm with several others posted already: does look very purdey - seems to have something about it that appeals to the non-PRS lovers here :lol:

[Twinfan]

That'll be me then  :lol:

I don't like PRS-looking PRSs either!  I like the ones that look like Gibsons!

Couldn't agree more!

The odd knot and "misaligned" patch of grain adds so much. Uniform Tiger stripes are just a bit plasticky looking, or something. Might just be me (and you, apparently), though. 

[Twinfan]

Come on delivery guy, where are you???

The more I look at this top, the more I love it...

[Crazy_Joe]

Looks pure awesome.

[Oli]

Loving the 1 piece top, looks great!

[Twinfan]

Well it's arrived!  :D

There are three little 'nicks' on the top edge near the back, otherwise it's mint.  Fresh set of nines on it, which need changing to 10s soon!  I'll live with the nines for now as I'm too tight to bin new strings  ;)

Tonally it's just what I was hoping for.  It sits between the McKorina and the Mira in terms of thickness and top end bite.  It should work great in the band mix on Tuesday night.  Can't wait to try it cranked  :)

The top looks amazing in the flesh, really alive, and it looks different from every angle.  Very cool.

Looks like I need to decide what has to get sold to pay for it  :(
