and the gorgeous feel, fantastic construction, aswell as great sounds mean nothing to you? :P the birds seem pretty OTT and pretentious in my opinion.

Exactly!

I can do without the AAAAAAA(etc) maple tops as well. Too much frickin' frippery.

In the unlikely event I ever buy a PRS, it'll be a nice plain mahogany Standard 22.

A short while back I had a PRS Custom 22 10 top with birds, and as nice as it was I sold it and bought a Gibson CS 346; I'll never sell the 346, I just have to figure out what BK's to put in it.

Without that I could never justify it to my beloved wife as at least she can think of it as a piece of furniture.

That's what they are, furniture guitars.

I had one of those Smartwood Exotic Les Pauls, but I always thought it looked more like a coffee table than a guitar. Every time I saw it I'd get an irrestible urge to whip out a duster and a can of Mr Sheen.

Hey my fetish is for Rickenbackers (& LP double cut Jr's) not furniture ;)

IMO
if going for a PRS, the older ones are better.
But, if buying new (not thread I know) I would probably be more inclined to buy a Nick Huber :P

Well, Im glad we had this little chat but I'll wait until my new years bonus and go for a custom superstrat from either Legra or Feline.
