If you're getting it around Christmas, you should go with red knobs. That's a great "almost got away" story. You better hold on to that one.  :wink:

xmas time, a green guitar with red knobs - stand it in the corner with some tinsel and baubles and save on buying an xmas tree  :lol:

....so why not fess up and see what abuse I get?  :lol:

You crazy nob-end! :lol: :wink:

It makes sense of the Pearly sale for me now. Even though you'd established the fact that a Les Paul just wasn't for you (and that made perfect sense to me), I just couldn't see how once you'd got your hands on a fine and prestigeous representation of your fave guitarist's iconic guitar, bought and paid for, why you'd feel the need to move it on. I saw no problem with hanging on to it even though it wasn't likely to gig - you'd still get big enjoyment out of owning it and having a bit of a "Billy moment" in the living room every now and then. Unless of course... you needed to fund something else that was even more important! :lol:

I had a feeling there must be something in the pipeline. Not at all surprised it's a guitar starting with "P", but I wouldn't have been surprised if it was unrelated to music and we never got to hear of it either.

Guitar itself - with the pics of brown guitars I was thinking "yeah, whatever floats your boat...". It looks well classy, etc, etc, but doesn't grab me. But then the green - wow, yeah, that's gonna look fab! :D

I still have slight reservations about the look of the pickups, but I'd soon get used to them. Btw, I've just noticed in these pics - the bridge and neck pickups are different sizes... that's not my imagination is it?

Anyway, nice one, hope the wait doesn't seem too long.

Great news Dave - I wondered when you would be posting new guitar stuff on here again!

I don't suppose you'll be in the Basingstoke area around Christmas will you?  :wink:

Nope, they're different sizes mate.  No BKPs for this one!

 :D Let me know if you ever fancy playing it through my Martamp Bantam. That is of course if I'm allowed to just look at the PRS.

Ah, I can see it now!  Love the green!  :D

Me too. Lovely colour!

But cheers for the offer - I'm sure I'll give it a go. You might need some ear muffs on though.

 :D Did I mention that I only play guitar when blind drunk? It sounds much better that way.

Nice one Dave,

I was expecting this post when you put the rather tasty gibson up for sale. It will be one heck of a christmas present for you. Enjoy it when it comes :D

Looks lush Dave, but will you gig it? Think you should change from Twinfan to Tonemonster
