Johnny Hiland with Ernie Ball/Music Man

Fuck them all.

Marty and Dave should still be playing black USA Jacksons through Bradshaw/VHT rigs.

But it took $5500 to make a great guitar, I would own the hood with a monster John Deere with PTO and 4 wheel steer for less

Man that is a shitload of money.

It takes that much to make a Suhr exotic no? How about a regular old LP with a FLoyd and throw Neil Schon's name on and charge $6000.

I won't buy any of those, yeah Suhr stuff is killer but I can't justify paying those crazy prices

As much as I love Hamer I just can't unload that kind of money on a guitar.

Here it is. This thing plays better than it looks.

It looks pretty damn good

Ya, they look good, but I've been underwhelmed everytime I play one. And there is no reason to have that huge block extending several frets out of the actual neck-joint. If they played half as good as they look they would be worth half what they cost.

That one played better than most guitars I've played in some time. The block on the neck heel is easier to get around than the neck heel of a Charvel for me. And do you want to compare the playability of the average PRS to the average Gibson? No contest..PRS wins everytime. FWIW, i don't currently own a PRS.

For the most part, I agree. But I have played some that were really cool, too. But I'm used to adjusting to diff guitars, all of my guitars feel different. I could see getting a nice PRS at some point down the line though I have no real need for one

I love my PRS. Changed the pickups to Andersons though.

I want to like the SC stuff and you can score them at a good price used, I like their design far better than gibson's boat heel and rip spreader backs.

I will have to demo some.

That`s a very Bilbo Baggins way to say it!!

PLus, you gotta like the fact that the SC is like a huge middle finger that got shoved right up Gibson's ass. The entire industry was backing PRS in that fight.

Easiest playing guitar I own is my '95 Cu22 Quilt 10 top. It's semi hollow/chambered (no nerdy f-holes) so it's super light - around 6 pounds, and the fretwork/neck is perfect.

Only 'bad' thing is that because of the chambering it has more compression than my other guitars, so it feels 'soft' for hard rock/metal. But it kills for classic rock/blues. I've owned 5 PRS, it was my favorite. Also had a '91, and I think all the 'pre factory' hype is BS. All 5 were nice guitars, the '95 just spoke to me. I may be getting another one soon.
