Another axe is tickling my fancy

[Shreddy Mercury]

This is another used PRS I am considering, because why not? It was refinished in the past by my boy here in town. Some of you guys probably don't like him, but he runs Sims Custom Shop. He does excellent work, assuming you're not in a hurry.

Beautiful. I like that burst pattern much more than the typical light colored bullseye that's dead center

 

[NeubyWanKaneuby]

I'd take 2 of those.

....but if I wanted to be gay and actually buy a US PRS, what is the go to model? I do like the carved top guitars, and while figured wood is great, I'm not opposed to a painted guitar. Since I've spent my entire adult life hating them because they're part Strat, part Les Paul, yet somehow cost more than both of them put together, I know very little about them. CE22, CE24, McCarty, bolt neck, set neck, confusion abounds. I do know the rotary selector is the dumbest invention of all, but I've never really spent any time with one.

So you looking to be even GAYER?

My ass wasn't sore enough

McCarty's are great guitars. That's a beautiful finish!

I'm with Gary, that refin looks way better than the usual bulleye pattern

It's funny how the PRS stuff seems to work out. Step 1, hate and mock them at every turn. Step 2, mild indifference once you realize you have a gay friend. Step 3, gay-bi-curious phase i.e "tried one at my local GC". Step 4, full fruit roll up burst flag flyer. Step 5, active champion for LGBTPRS causes.

Hey, I said another PRS was tickling my fancy, not my prostate.

Man, I would have to get one for free to play one of those clownburst or diarrhea-burst finishes

They make some great guitars but jesus christ

So hideous

It's like someone saw a 70s clownburst LP and was like "okay but lets put a figured maple cap underneath that dogshit paint job so it looks like the bloody diarrhea is greasy as fuck"

 

[Shreddy Mercury]

I gotta see these clown burst and diarrhea bursts you're referring to. Honestly, though, isn't diarrhea a burst on its own? When you really think about it...

I honestly don't get it either but some people paint their house hot pink. If you think about it, showing up to a blues jam with a really ugly 12k PRS and just ripping some slow blues above the competition would be as good as a beetle spin in a school of crappie. Everyone would take that hater bait and go home pissed off at themselves, PRS, and the guy who cooked their asses.

I trust you can figure out which is which?

Oh....that top is gorgeous, but I could do without the gradient of colors.

Honestly it kind of pisses me off

What a waste of a beautiful piece of wood

That first finish is rather pedestrian, looks like a cheap Gibson Les Paul type finish. But that 2nd finish is gorgeous. I'd play that in a second and wear it proudly.

"Yo Paul it's sprayer's choice day and I had a little bit of color left from five different cans of paint so I decided to ruin a nice ten top with them"
