Moneybags is at it again! :lol:
If you stopped smoking cigars, you could have the cash for one too ;)
how does this rosewood neck compare to the other? obviously you are liking it!!
I love the McRosie to bits, it's my main guitar for Doppelganger (and 'DC backup). The Modern Eagle is something else though - it's just got more of everything. More clarity, more harmonics, more flame(!) - everything!
That is a SERIOUS guitar.
Too right Phil - it's incredible. The neck is unbelievable - sooooooooooooo smooth and shiny but there's no finish on it!
Just checked the PRS site, it is indeed a modern eagle.
Just to confirm, this is one of the original Modern Eagles. Soild Brazilian rosewood neck with Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and one of the last couple of brand new ones for sale in the UK. I've wanted one of these since I first saw one in the flesh, just after they came out. With Braz no longer available, and almost impossible to import into the UK, I decided to bite the bullet and get my dream guitar while I can. Lots of things are for sale in Seconds Out to fund it, plus I traded in my two Miras.
It's worth every last penny and I'm an incredibly fortunate guy to be able to own one. I'd just like to say that I have an amazing and understanding wife, plus I must thank her for egging me on to buy it :)
