Nice s/h Feline Tiger (PRS) on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150358803642&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

I built this about 8 years ago
Killer guitar
I guess it kind of does what a PRS McCarty should do - sounds a bit more like an LP than a Prs
Somebody here I'm sure would love it

Pix below are from 8 years ago

That looks damnably cute Jonathan ...

What I want to know is -  how come, when actual PRSs leave me, well, not cold, but "lukewarm" at the most... for some reason, pictures/description of a similar beast from you had me going there for a moment... :lol:

Luckily, common sense prevailed, and it's not for me and my wallet right at the moment - but it would be great if someone on here gets it :D

Yeah - I have to restrain myself from wanting to buy it back myself as I recall how good it played and sounded back then , but it would be great if a BKP forumite gets it.

Poor twinfan!

He's trying to selling his guitars you know! Don't tempt the man with these lustful guitar pics!

No use to me - it's got a trem!  Also, the neck pickup isn't positioned right up against the bottom of the 22nd fret where I like it.

Nice guitar though, especially if you swapped the tone pot and toggle switch positions.....

I reckon it took a few years to come up with those reasons, or else you'd be hiding behind guitar cases in every room of where you live.

EDIT: And wow, to sell a Feline cause he has too many guitars. The remainder must be REALLY good guitars!

Flame top/Burst. GAS avoided.

If it was natural/flat colour, I'd likely have been bidding. But it's ok, that means my "When the ideal SG comes along" fund is safe.

Hmmm. I gotta get me one of those.

Pretty tasty PRS style though!
LOVING the Mules!

I guess it kind of does what a PRS McCarty should do - sounds a bit more like an LP than a Prs

Tempted I have to say, especially after the Tabby, but that slightly puts me off, we've got 2 kick ass LP's already, but it's tempting...

What trem is that Johnathan?
Gibson LP std + Nailbomb set
Diezel VH4 & Orange Rockerverb 50

The tremolo is a Wilkinson , the nut is Graphtech and Sperzel tuners assist with keeping it in tune

To be fair it's not A LP clone , just a bit thicker than a regular PRS , has a 3 piece neck and an ebony board, and it makes good crunchy hard rock noises.

Cant recall if it had a coiltap , but easily fitted and a versatile guitar.

I noticed that too.  Any special reason for the slightly-extended fretboard, Jon?  Is it something to do with the neck/body joint?

BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

Ooh - long time ago
We may have been trying to keep the neck pickup from sounding too woolly, and/or keep as much wood glued into the body as possible to stiffen the neck joint but without having a long heel area coming out of the body like PRS do these days.

Sounded wicked as I recall anyway
