Members johnrambo Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 i'm not a fan of the flamed top look which seems to dominate their guitar lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OnWingsOfLead Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 The only PRS I enjoy playing is the Mira, which most diehard PRS fanboys don't like. I just don't like the necks on most of the PRS lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members d4rk0 Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 I'd like one of the hollowbody ones I said fugly, but this one makes me think I might be able to live with a POS...er PRS after all (sorry, old habits and all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stoney Stomp Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 They just feel soul-less to me. Im not saying they're not well crafted or constructed. They definitely are. But they just lack a soul...maybe it's the imperfections of a tele, les paul, etc. that makes me feel that they have something unique and special. I don't know. What I do know is that playing a PRS is fine...they play well and sound fine but I have no emotional feeling at all when playing them. So..soul-less is my best way to describe them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jlantsberger Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 Voted fugly for their flame finished, but moreso cost. I can't justify buying that, and like someone above said, I'd be worried about playing it out in some sketchy neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stoney Stomp Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 ha..does that make no sense? I'm trying equate it to something else so the comparison makes sense. It's sort of like watching American Idol singers...sure many of them can hit the same notes as the original artists but they lack the feel and emotional connection of the originals. With PRS guitars, it just feels like i'm playing a cold instrument. Very well constructed..but no emotional attachment. Like a keyboard vs. a grand piano..no? still doesn't work?

Members Harvester1199 Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 i like the look and feel of a les paul, the singlecut's are 25 scale, they dont feel right and they are too expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members terrafirma Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 They don't sound right, they don't feel right. Just not for me at all. I love my tele and my mini humbucker reverend. They just have character. PRS just seem bleh. They look nice but I agree with a post above that they lack soul. That's a good way to describe it.

Members keppy Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 Overpriced...probably the only reason. I've played a few PRS guitars that were amazing, but I've also played guitars half their price that were equally amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Primakurtz Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 One reason: too darn small. I am large, and a PRS looks goofy on me & feels like a toy. I like big slabs of wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stoney Stomp Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 You're kinda blaming the artist rather than the equipment. Not at all...i was making an analogy. When I play a PRS...it feels cold and mechanical vs. when I play a Tele or LP, for example. This has nothing to do with the artists that play them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 ive got an SE Custom singlecut. i replaced the bridge pickup with a seymour duncan custom and i love it. i play it more than my Gibson SG std or my other guitars.i love the way it feels and plays. plus the picture of wood on it looks sweet!

Members Secret Seasons Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 I have a guitar I got in a trade from a small luthier that is one of the absolute best playing guitars I've ever touched... I love it to death. but... it looks like a PRS with a quilted maple top instead of the PRS flame. its kinda funny the reactions it gets... some people love it, some people immediately hate it 'cause they think its a PRS... but holy god it plays like nothing else I've ever used. I love it though, PRS look or not. Oh, and I voted Nickelback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jhamnett Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 I have one and like it, so... Nickelback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ancient Mariner Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 I want to try the Hiland and 245 models. I've played a couple (CE22 I *think*) some years back and it just felt wrong - very lifeless, together with uncomfortable neck shape. A lot of the clips made to demo them sound just dreadful, but Doc Jeffrey on HCEGF did a fantastic clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vinnies Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 I'd like one of the hollowbody ones i'm with robo - i bought a schecter semihollow because it'll be a few years until i can afford one of these bad boys...the schecter's pretty sweet, BTW - piezo pickup too, check it out if you get the chance...schecter c/sh-1...

Members Terminus Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 I play a PRS Mira and I love it. plays great, looks great and sounds great. However it is a bit different from most of their other models, no maple top and no gold hardware etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members starsailor803 Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 My PRS was my main axe for years. I've had it since '98, before there was a Nickelback. Of course, bands like Collective Soul and Incubus were using them back then but that's not why I wanted one. Ten years ago they were still considered nice guitars because they hadn't saturated the market. I'll never get rid of it as it was a gift from my dad.
