Yup, it's incurable...

[Twinfan]

Surely some famous guitarists wil be like us and try everything though?  Especially the PRS ones when they visit the factory?  And no-one has chosen to have one?

I read that rosewood necks seem to work better with P90s and clean to crunch tones as they can give a slight mid 'scoop'.  Would make sense.  That may have cured my GAS...

Talking of rosewood I do like this:

I imagine Roo would like this.

I've never really been a fan of PRS although some of them do look the sex. That said, I really like the sound that the guy from Opeth gets from his, and I have been curious about trying one of the Korina body PRS just for tonal research.  :)

[Twinfan]

I think the Opeth guys use a variety of models, possibly even the Modern Eagle.

You're welcome to buy my spare McCarty Korina in the name of 'research'  ;)

As a man who lives constantly in his overdraft, I'm afraid I must respectfully decline.  :P

WOWWW!
Sod Roo - he can get his own!!! (to pour scorn over no doubt) :lol:

That is the sexiest looking guitar pic I have seen in many a long month...

A rosewood tele is what I wanted for many many years before I actually owned a tele, or any guitar at all possibly, not sure when this was, but I was small... (something to do with Beatles I suspect, but I'm not sure...).

It is NOT worth £3,299.00 to me though :lol:

Never actually wanted one, but I've always thought they look great.  Apparently it's like hanging the QE2 anchor round your neck, though...

There was one (might still be) in the Brum SC, now, admittedly I'm a man who gigs Parker Flys bt jesus, it was not a gigging guitar!  :lol:

Sounded fandabydosy though, if not very Fendery.

[hunter]

Dude, you want this, and after 6 months sell it to me for 60%

:O)

[Twinfan]

Nah, I don't like hollowbodies!

[lifted]

But my question is would you put BK p/us in if you ever got one, or leave it like it is.? And which ones would match i t best?

[Twinfan]

I haven't put BKPs in my PRSi, and have no intention to either.  I like the stock PRS pickups  :oops:

VHIIs would work well though I think...

Ahhhh, it all makes sense ;)

Yes, it's been mentioned on the forum many times that VHIIs are a good match for PRS guitars, but there's nowt wrong with the PRS pickups unless you want something drastically different.

Having said that I am thinking of beefing up my Mira with a Cold Sweat set  :P .  Or maybe a CS bridge and something a bit warmer in the neck, to compensate for the 24 frets.

 

[Twinfan]

MQ would work well Phil?  I find the Mira does lack some warmth, but it takes gain really well.  A vintage styled and feeling guitar for modern tones - that's how I find it.
