^^ that prs is a nice guitar. I tried the trem version, i liked it. Unfortunately, like a lot of guitars at that price, it didn't (to me anyway) have that final 2% which gives it its mojo. Nothing to criticise at all about its construction, though (although the pickups were poor)- and nothing you could put your finger on. Just a feeling I got.
at a similar price, I thought the Yamaha Pacifica 812 was a nicer guitar, with more mojo- though with two single coils and you wanting to play LOG, a neck 'bucker may be more useful (though I'm guessing the bridge humbucker would be used most of the time). The Yamaha AES guitars are nice too, and quite a bit cheaper (you can get the aes620 for £300)- that's getting closer to "beginner money", so you could maybe justify it a bit better? (or if you're planning on switching the pickups immediately anyway, the 420 would shave even more off the price).
As always, though, you'd need to try them. And the problem with any of those guitars is that BKP's will add around £200 to the cost, bringing them well above "beginner money".
