Members cromulent Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 PRS probably woke up with a hello kitty guitar the next day, but doesn't remember a thing. Probably got rust or rot from her, cuz those hello kitty's are such sluts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DenverDave Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 That's why I won't play an expensive guitar in most bar type situations. My electrics are all OK for bar stuff, but my one acoustic was way too nice - so I bought a Tak to play at bar gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tbx Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 i own nothing but cheap guitars. frankly, i'm still kinda wondering how i ended up with more than one... wtf was i thinking? but part of the reason they're cheap is that i have no intention of having a "stay-at-home" guitar. i want all of them to go to loud raucous gigs probably at tiny venues where something awful could happen at any minute. i was just stroking off to some really high end guitar early today and wondering why i didn't just liquidate my guitars and buy just one that was really gosh darn brilliant. well, a whole bunch of reasons i don't want to do that, but one of the biggest is what i just said. i don't want any guitar that is SO expensive that i'm afraid to play it wherever. not enough fun for me have something so beautiful and not be able to use it wherever i want. but even better would be suddenly finding myself so {censored}ing wealthy that i don't need to worry about some great gear getting trashed. OH HA HA HA. yeah. ooh. that's about to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Johansolo Posted April 26, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2006 well...played the guitar at jam last night. the neck seems fine (i think may be imagining the neck feeling stiffer/harder) but the strings sounded dead and lifeless when strummed unplugged after this incident ive decided to retire the prs from playing live with my band and biting the bullet and buying a generic ESP/LTD with EMGs that i can swing and inflict damage on my bass player without giving a {censored}.

Don't be a {censored}. Play the PRS. How the hell can you have been playing long enough to have a CD launch party and be so damn paranoid about your gear. The finish on the PRS will withstand most liquids. You wash the beer off with a lightly damp rag, dry, and polish the guiitar like always. The fretboard is oiled rosewood, the oil repelles moisture (beer is mostly water) and won't let it soak in. Reoil if necessary (but don't over oil). Even of it the electronics ever gets wet, they'll be fine after drying them out, though it would be harder to get them from getting sticky. The strings probably were ruined, but you should be replacing those before every gig anyway, or you better have a backup guitar handy. The only permenant damage could have been that your case may smell like beer for the rest of its life becaue you kept the guitar ion there for three days without cleaning it. So be it, mine smells like cat piss from a previous owner (hopefully from their cat). You wasted your money on the PRS if you don't have the balls to play the damn thing out. It's a f*ckin' tool, not a Rembrandt. besides, it seems to me you have plenty of guitars to need a LTD or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the weather and where the van was parked. I keep guitars in my van all the time when the weather's not too extreme, you just have to be careful about it. Never had a neck problem.

Was not on purpose. Wow. Just wow. Such a large sum of money, could buy four or five really nice guitars for the price of that one, and POOF! Gone. I guess those PRS' aren't that sturdy.
