Beautiful guitars or not

I don't like too much the visual aspect of this kind of wood (I mean, they are "tiger-like"), I prefer the finished of the #642.

However, the #13 is beautiful. Currently I'm considering a hollow or semi-hollow guitar (in fact, I go to a store in a couple of hours) but I also think it will be too expensive for me.

889 !!

No question PRS isn't going to be your cheapest guitar to purchase.

However, the finish, overall craftsmanship, the ease of playing, the fullness of sound (regardless if amplified or not) the tone quality and feel will draw you in, without question.

I found my perfect PRS back in December. Mine was over $2400, but I'm glad to spend the money for a guitar that even a novice like me can appreciate.

I don't know anyone who doesn't like their PRS. Whether it be a $500 version or higher, they are very fine guitars.

Having HD TV I have a channel that features top named acts in live venues. Every week there is someone new and all recognized names, as well.

I've seen Styx, 311 (this past weekend), Sammy Hagar, and several other acts over the last few months and at least one of the lead guitarists was playing a PRS. Once you get familiar with the body shape and headstock, they are very easy to pick out.

To me, they are worth whatever you spend on one. :wink:

#902 or #950.

Check out 950 - looks like one full piece of maple instead of bookmatched. I love the greens, blues, and oranges.

I think the PRS singlecut has become the grail in my "Les Paul" quest. I'm nowhere near buying one, but given my recent experience with the newer Gibson LP's quality control, I can see myself settling in nicely with a PRS Singlecut.

damnit rodders, one of them was so hot it burnt a hole in my computer screen.

I could sit and drool over that gallery all day - if I had the money #515 would be on it's way here now!

Of course, I'd have to learn "5.15" by the Who then - kind of a signature tune......

:D :D :D

They sure are purdy ... and they play real nice ... but I look even older and more worn out standing behind one ... :P

OTOH, if I ever buy a LP-type, it'll be PRS or Hamer.

I know this might sound funny, but to me, they almost look too good. I agree with Nuno...they're tiger-like. With one over my shoulder, I'd sort of feel like I were wearing a fox-fur coat. That's just the feeling it gives me. A Kind of a glam vibe. But I guess that's just me. #511 is awesome, though.

I've heard some played, and their tone is a completely different matter. Especially those soapbox models. Great tone!

In my opinion, so long as it has the three things I look for in a guitar: It feels good to play it, It looks good and it sounds good, then I think spending that kind of money is OK. Obviously not everyone can afford one (including myself) but if it's got what I'm looking for and it's made by professionals with high grade matieral then I think it's worth the cost.

However, if I pay for a high priced guitar, I would complain if ANYTHING was wrong with it.

I personally don't like them. Way too showy. 950 is nice, but other then that I don't care for them.

Exactly.

I like the following- #8, 13, 514, 515, 774, 886, 889, 895, 950.

Other than those, I really don't care for them.

Actually, they look very nice here.

The pics on the PRSguitars.com site really don't do them justice, it seems.

prs makes an incredible guitar, i've played a couple and loved them 8)

543 mmmmmm
