Whoops - I couldn't resist... (NGD)
« on: December 30, 2008, 05:11:46 PM »
Sometimes, you just know it's a great deal and you have to have it?

Browsing my favourite PRS dealer's site last night I came across his updated "winter bargains" page.  There she was, a PRS Mira Maple Top in Dark Cherry Sunburst with a wide-thin neck.  So it was up early this morning, taking my Gibson Les Paul Junior Special with me, to sort out a deal.

Brand new and at £899(!!!), there was no way I was missing out on this!  It's darker in colour in real life.....

I like the look of these ones as well as the one you got,  pity they are not left handed.

Nice work! I love PRS's dark cherry sunburst. A part of me regrets not getting my SC245 in that color. How does it sound?

WOW that's beautifull, I'm not a prs fan but the Mira are stunning even more so with the top.

899 was the price with the part ex right?!

It was £899 cash  :o  That's why I had to have it!  I got it for £500 + my Gibson.  I think the Gibbo would have sold privately at some point for around £500, so I got a reasonable deal.  I still saved £350  :)

It sounds very nice!  Not massively different from a stock Mira, but there's a bit more top end and a bit more clarity.  It's a touch more 'civilised'.

It'll now be my main Doppelganger rehearsal guitar (as it's so versatile I can use 1 guitar for rehearsal) , and it'll be my backup for 'DC gigs.

I'll take most of my amps, and a selection of guitars.  If there's anything in particular you want me to take, let me know  :)

Oh you crazy man!  :lol:

Looks great though, and you can't argue with a price like that!
