Lovin' $%&#! Each to their own I guess, and I do see the irony value, but I don't like it. Also, with a guitar in that state, WTF does he need straplocks for? :wink:

That is so wrong....

..... but also, somehow, extremely right!  :D


It looks like he's done a hell of a good job on the relicing, and I love the way he's retained the "PRS-ness" by keeping the non-locking trem rather than fitting a Floyd.

I'd rather have that than one of the $35,000 EVH guitars.

Yeah, I actually rather like this. It's nice to see some flat colour on a PRS – I think sometimes their propensity for fancy fancy figured tops detracts from the fact that the guitars themselves are a very nice shape.

I think that is really rather good - it could have been very, very bad. I very much doubt it would have worked if the neck had birds!
I think I hate being indecisive.

That is awesome!

I love the addition of the quarter under the trem.

Not a fan, but then I think the original looks like shite as well.

Thats awesome, it's about time someone did something like this, start treating these things just like how we treat all the other brands and not mollycoddling them and treating them like complete prized possessions... they're just guitars after all! just... expensive... :)

As long as he bought it second hand for a good price then it's a great thing! buying something new however and doing this... naaaaaah too much money.

It was quite heavily used when he bought it I think...
