Not sure I could lift it though.  :?

They're crazy expensive, and rare as hens teeth.

Bloody ugly too!  :lol:

I may as well add them here I guess!  :lol:

I bought a 65 Amps Empire when "bad man" PhillyQ egged me on into buying it in GuitarGuitar Epsom:



And last weekend I was offered a great deal on a guitar I've lusted after for about a year, but thought I a) couldn't afford it and b) wasn't a singlecut guy.  Having recently discovered that PRS Singlecuts work so much better for me than Les Pauls that negative went out of the window, so when the price became "an offer I couldn't refuse" I did some quick calculations and snapped up the guitar in the middle below.

Afghan was right from his first post - it's a Private Stock Singlecut SC245 in gloss nitro McCarty Burst, with what I think is an amazing one piece blistered maple top and an incredibly rare pernambuco neck.  This guitar absolutely sings vintage tones and I love it.

Here's The Tone TrinityTM



And a closer shot of the top:

My two PRS SE guitars will also be up for sale soon, the P90 one hasn't even arrived yet so it'll be straight out the door...

holy cr@p, that's a record even for you, surely? :lol:

Yep!

I bought the P90 at 11am, got the offer of the SC245 around 3:30pm - had I known, I obviously wouldn't have bought the second SE!

Nice amp Dave. I shall not condemn your moments of weakness- I have them on occasions too though not on the same scale.

Cheers Ian - I'm well impressed with it.  I need to take it to a rehearsal to try it with a bit more volume than a flat will allow!  It sounded really good in the shop, and with a pedal in the flat it's top too  :)

Very nice in deed. Lovely looking guitar. Congrats on the amp too. In truth I  do not know much about that one will have to do a bit of searching on the web. Enjoy them. :D

Nice one Dave. I've got a little keyboard short cut set up that is a real time saver in moments like this. I just press 'ctrl, shift and £' and it pastes in "Nice one Dave"

I reckon I've saved loads of hours since setting it up  :D

That amp looks great - I've heard loads of good things about them. I do seem to confuse them with 'divided by 13' amps though. Not that they look anything like them, must just be a numbers thing!
