One of the things I do like about the birds is that, because they're irregularly shaped, you don't have that problem of dots (or moons) sometimes being inlaid a bit off-centre.  I know it has no effect whatsoever on playability, but it really irritates me!

Nik Huber's dolphin inlays are nice.  Beautiful work, but on "overall impression" I don't think they work quite as well as PRS' birds.  Maybe because they're all basically the same shape rotated through different angles.

Doesn't bother me - as long as it was not Eriza Verde I would take either.

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

Sorry Philly ... really don't like it.   I suppose it's easy to touch up any paint dings ................. PDT_005



With Birds vs Moons, I've one of each - think I prefer the older birds to the newer ones.

Yes, made by Patrick Eggle for Maximum Guitars in The Hague. They now do a new MXG-run, I saw. Don't know if the quality will be on par with earlier series.

Some people just have no taste Philly.  If I get another PRS, it will probably be Eriza Verde.  I like the old bird inlays too.

I don't have strong views either way but I'd probably say moons.
