Members mnewb1 Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 I was at Elderly instruments in Lansing today and put a 2006 single cut trem in satin blue matteo on lay away. I know I'm going to get flack for this but I am taking the Am Std Strat and Tele in to trade for this guitar. I will still have a little paying to do after that, so it's going to be awhile before I post NGD. In my defense, not only is this thing absolutely beautiful but it plays like an absolute dream. About a year ago when I tried out a bunch of PRS guitars I wasn't too crazy about the necks. But this guitar was simply amazing. I played a bunch of them while I was there, and while many of them were actually good, this thing just sang for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nanobug Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 Whatever guitar plays best for you and gives you the best tone is the one you should play. Brand names, monetary value, and all other considerations are secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aliensporebomb Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 My point has always been: buy the guitar that you want to reach for and playall of the time. If it means old ones fall by the wayside so be it. Congrats on your new axe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MickSlick Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 Can you please fully define a Snorkledick, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreatDane Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 Can you please fully define a Snorkledick,Thanks as i understand it, "snorkledicks" are people who purchase boutique, high-end gear, presumably for the main (or sole) purpose of acquiring and collecting it like someone might collect fine art or sculpture. i encourage anyone to keep me honest if i've mis-defined the term.

Members mnewb1 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 If memory serves me ( and often does not) the term snorkeldick originated from an interview with a guitar player ( don't remember name) who referred to individuals who purchase PRS guitars as snorkeldicks. Make your own meaning beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chippy Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 If memory serves me ( and often does not) the term snorkeldick originated from an interview with a guitar player ( don't remember name) who referred to individuals who purchase PRS guitars as snorkeldicks. Make your own meaning beyond that. Yeah, I remember reading that. It went something like: "Every time I see a guy onstage playing a PRS all I can think is how much he looks like a snorkledick". It's gonna drive me nuts trying to remember what the exact quote is & who said it. OP, PRSs are VERY nice guitars regardless of what the haters say.

Members Lopp Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 mnewb1: "Hi, I'm mnewb1, and I'm a snorkeldick."All: "Hi mnewb1!" Personally, I'm a snorkeldick wannabe. My CE24 and Standard 24 were both purchased used with scratches so I could gig with them without worry. Next time you are at Elderly, get, and then post, PICS!

Members mnewb1 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 Snorkeldickery I can handle. No picture I say sonabitch. actually I was hoping to pull the pictures from Elderly's website and post them, but by the time I got home they had taken the listing down. That was quick. So I am going to email and ask them to send the pictures in a file. I'll post as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
