25.5" scale

Just what the world needed, another superstrat!

I kid, I'm sure it's great

I recorded with a PRS a lot, but it felt like a baby sized guitar. I want more longer scale guitars, more more more!

Upwards of 3k for a bolt on neck PRS? You can forget it.

I love most of the features but man I wish they inlays were symmetrical. Not a huge fan of those.

Ever played a Suhr or Tom Anderson? TA makes some of the best guitars I've ever put my hands on and they're all bolt on.

I really dig the look of these, and it’s especially cool they have 7 string models. Would really love to see the Violet & Fuschia tops in person.

It's a production cost cutting measure that is no longer passed along to the consumer as far as I can tell. I'm sure JAMES TYLER, Suhr, and Tom Andersons are all sweet axes but truthfully I do not play the sort of music that a super strat would fit well.

I'm way too busy trying to figure out the best guitar song of all time to watch ed roman

It's also done for tonal reasons, as well as for maintenance and practicality. If you break it you can replace it, etc.

Also TA does a V-shaped neck pocked with a flattened groove their necks sit back into. Tom once rigged up one of his guitars to be suspended sideways by the body and did pullups on the neck. Done the right way, they're incredibly strong and can sound great.

I'm using the "listening to the star wars cantina song over and over and trying to figure it out by ear" app

I got that part ya fuckin jerk I'm talking about how you are posting the clips

Oh google drive, I use it for posting all clips (audio and video) now because it works better with RT than literally anything else

 

[japetus]

So you can just post video clips from google drive, thanks, I did not know. That is a cool option for many people!

 

[Findthetone1]

I love the look. I just wish they weren't 25.5". I'm done with those.

Yep just remember to set the privacy to public/anyone with the link, and you can embed anything!

It's way faster, easier, and more reliable than anything else i've found

As much as I love PRS, no bird inlays is a fail for me.

Those ultra-tight grained flamed tops are kinda ugly to me tbh


I like the solid green one
