Members ncook Posted June 28, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 I was going to buy a Harley Davidson, but I could get the same paint job on a new Kawasaki so, hmm, I'm torn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sordid1 Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 Originally posted by cloudnine It's a nice guitar, but I honestly think you could find that kind of top on a $500-1000 guitar if you looked hard enough. $1000 possibly, $500 I doubt it unless it's a photo finish. Someone that buys a PRS custom is buying it because they appreciate the subtle things that make PRS guitars great and things you wouldn't notice at first. I think the top on his is great by the way.

I guess this was the point I was trying to make. Sordid is a bit more diplomatic in his explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bbfirebird Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 I have a CE22 I bought new in 1997. It was a good guitar, then I threw in a Duncan JB in the bridge and a 59 in the neck, as well as sanded the neck. Now it's a GREAT guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Originally posted by ncook I've had 3 good Les Pauls (black beauty, standard, and premium top LP classic), and I didn't keep any of them. I liked them and their sound, they just didn't have enough playing room above th 12th for me so I sold them. I recently had a USA Strat which had more room to play lead above the 12th but it didn't have the tone and punch I liked so its gone. If my calculations are correct, the PRS should be a good alternative. Next I'll pick up a good used RG550 to cover the tremolo needs. Along the same lines, I reckon PRS provides the perfect middle ground between a strat and a les paul. I don't know about you but sometimes I think...woah...I wish I could hit somewhere in the middle, and a PRS seems to do that just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StrykeBack Posted June 29, 2005 Members Share Posted June 29, 2005 Whats teh tonal differences between the hard tails and the trems? do they really make that big of a difference?I'm using an Ibanez SZ 520 that has been heavily modded until I can get better and justify those beautiful prs guitarsIronic, I had been playing piano for over 14 years and finally decided that I loved the "look" of those PRS and Dean single cuts so much that I decided i must learn to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I dont think so.PRS uses a 3/4 inch maple top. Try and buy a 1inch thick piece of Flamed or quilted AAAA maple with the demensions to make a top. Its gonna cost you several hundred dollars just for the slab of wood to carve the top. Under $1000 all you get is paper thin veneer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sordid1 Posted June 30, 2005 Members Share Posted June 30, 2005 Originally posted by ECFan My CU 22 Goldtop! I love the look of the Gold top PRS guitars. I'm a metal guy though so I don't know if it would look quite right on stage or not though but i'm starting to get to a point in my life where I don't care about that kind of stuff quite as much as I used to. It used to be that if the guitar wasn't black than I wouldn't even consider using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
