Embarrassment and my apparent incompetence in opening guitar cases aside, I have the guitar in my hands!!! :)

To recap, it's a PRS Singlecut Satin in Black Cherry, with tremolo. Built in 2007, bought new just now (last one in stock.)

It's an amazing piece of work, wow! The feel is absolutely amazing, the satin finish is brilliant. The bird inlays look stunning. I haven't been a fan of zebra-colored pickups but they actually look great! The guitar was almost perfectly in tune when I got it out of the case, and intonation's spot-on.

The neck profile's wide-fat, and it feels great.

I even took some pics even though I could've been playing! ;)

Oops, those came out pretty big. Oh well, you can see the intricate details better :P Loving the coil-splitting btw!

Cool case.... oh... there was a guitar in there :D

That look great... is it rude to ask how much they are?

Very nice!

PRS intonation is always spot on from the factory  ;)

I ordered this from the UK and it was £1,468 (approx 1600e at the time of purchase.)

Great guitars those - my prs singlecut trem is my no.1 no question and I'd even consider buying another because they don't make them anymore!

The satin makes all the difference to me - really slinky neck. The only downside is mine is wearing fairly significantly for 1 yr old - diy relicing i suppose

Having played the thing only for 2 hours now, I can say it is one of the best if not THE best guitar I've ever played... And certainly the best guitar I've owned :) Been playing so much br00tal methulz lately that I haven't had time to sit down and appreciate some finer things in life... like the coil-tapped neck sound on this baby, just great! Playing with the factory-set .009s is fun too, since I 'av been mostly playing with .011s and .012s in drop-C and .010 in regular for a long time. Couldn't be happier :) Our dog's been hitting me with his paw for a while now so I'd better take him out for a walk.. then back to playing :)

glad that worked. :)

don't worry, i've done similar stuff, when my edwards came i thought i didn't have the right size of truss-rod adjuster, only to be told online that it was probably in the gig-bag pocket... :lol:

EDIT: ooh, nice pics. that's very nice indeed. :)

Congratulations on your new purchase. You made me smile if only because I could easily see myself in your position. Your new guitar looks great.

It's a lovely looking guitar!  I really can't understand why they discontinued the SC Trem, there's nothing else in the PRS line to do the same job except the Tremonti, and not everyone wants a "signature" guitar.

Y'know, I've spent a long time looking down my nose at prs and prs players... and tail between legs I was wrong. I get those looks from other players now though  :lol: :lol:
