No, this is not a reference to the forum....


Which PRS inlay do you like better?

For a long time I thought birds were too blingy and I would only consider PRS guitars with moons.

Over time, the birds have grown on me..... but I still only like the older solid abalone (or paua) birds, I'm not keen on the newer "outline" ones.

I personally think the birds can be a little "obnoxious" on some guitars, however when I think PRS I think bird inlays. I would probably not buy a PRS without the birds.

I always wanted to do a partial bids inlay on one of my guitars
They would only go up half the neck and the rest would just be scattered feathers and finally a plump cat sat washing a paw as the last inlay.

OK - a bit twisted but it appealed to me

Why do people hate Eriza Verde?  It's an awesome colour!  :P

Come on, that's like throwing PRS into a Gibson vs Fender argument!
