Step away from the credit card  :lol:

That IS nice like, but I'd be sh*it scared to play it in case I marked it.

I won't say again how I don't like the pickup rings or mini switches (oops, just did  :oops: ).

They look lovely, but Private Stock stuff is really just eye candy to me, it's too expensive to touch, never mind buy!  :lol:



Just noticed, they've got "New Robson Tuning Pegs".  Never heard of those before.  :?

I really like the non-standard pickup shape - its a little bit different.

There is the argument of it being much tougher to replace the pickups, but on a guitar of that price you'd hope that the pickups were already perfect.

I'm glad theres a matching pair as well - I can't gig without a backup    :lol:

Some sort of vintage-y style pegs with ivoroid buttons or something.  Who knows what the hell they are  :lol:  I think they're like the old open backed acoustic tuners but covered.

I also think PRS pickups have improved greatly of late.  I really liked the Narrowfield ones I had for a little while, and the 57/08 PAF style ones get rave reviews.  I'd be surprised if these weren't top notch.

Yeah, they look like acoustic tuners.  Everybody always raves on about how great those "Waverly" tuners are supposed to be, but I've never understood why the open backs don't lead to them getting all stiff and clogged up with gunk.

The pickups certainly ought to be top notch.  But there's always the possibility that they're just not to your taste, so it's still a pain that they'd be hard to replace.  Then again, I suppose nobody's likely to buy one of these as a "project" guitar.  :lol:

[Twinfan]

:lol:  Indeed.  I think people will take them as they come...

They're very you!

Suit's you sir... Do you want it?  :)

I'd love one, but in a better colour...

[d1dsj]

I prefer the ME that you already have Dave, maybe I'd like these if they were a different colour? I normally like Bengal burst Suhrs but those 2 don't really do much for me  :(

[Philly Q]

I know what you mean, I often find the "autumnal" PRS colours a little dull looking (although my McCarty Korina and Mira X are both sunbursts).  I'm usually more taken with colours like black cherry, or blues and greens.

[Twinfan]

I reckon one in this colour would look pretty darn tasty:

[Philly Q]

That is one hell of a colour!

urrgh.
Dave. They be dentist's guitars  :)
