Off to see Mr Paul Reed Smith shortly!
« on: April 13, 2011, 12:14:22 PM »
PRS himself is in the UK this week, and I'm heading down to World Guitars shortly for the demo evening tonight.  Paul and his band, with Davy Knowles and Simon McBride, will be there as will a bunch of nice gee-tars.

Good job I'm skint and can't afford to buy anything!

Hopefully I can get the Modern Eagle through the door so Paul can sign the back of the headstock for me...

I saw they had a PRS event coming up.  Long trip for you though isn't it?

It's a good lineup, with both Davy Knowles and Simon McBride.  Don't try out too many guitars though!

Well, we made it!  No cash spent, other than petrol, food and beer  :)

I got a couple of souvenirs...

 :lol: :lol:  I knew you wouldn't escape without GAS!

Still not sure about those pickups/mounting rings.  They seem "different" just for the sake of being different.  And the mini-switches are a definite no-no.
