Members archiemax Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 Looks like a well-used Lester, but your PRS looks mighty fine too........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members headless Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 I know absolutely nothing about the relative value of those instruments, but I would part with that Single-Cut only to pay the ransom money to my childrens' kidnappers.

Members ten56gibby Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 Tough call. But I'd probably do it. But I'm not really a PRS fan, so there's a bit of bias there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RaVenCAD Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 I wouldn't do it personally.. I have no logical reason other than I don't like that LP.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -Assy- Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 i say keep the PRS, its probably a better axe all around due to the fact that it doesnt have 30-40 years of god knows what happened to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Plus, the early 70s weren't exactly the golden years at Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darkmavis Posted February 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 me too, should i hold out for another vintage paul? or will i not get one? i rrelly want a classic paul...i can just feel its the guitar for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Trevisol Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 I don't like that finish. At all. If it were aged like an iced tea burst, I'd say yeah. But Clownburst disqualifies it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Darkmavis Posted February 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 to be honest i hate the stigma attached to it, you get off stage and people assume your some guy with too much money :poke: its a great guitar but i just know that a vintage lp is the way to go, it just dont 'feel' right y'know? it sounds great n all and is good to play but its never felt like my old paul (stolen :cry:) thats why ......

Members Mrrikki Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 If its what you want and you feel that strong then just do it! Personally looks wise I prefer the PRS out of the 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Superrust Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 I wouldn't do it. The deluxe would have had mini humbuckers in it. Was it routed to fit the full size. If you are looking for a classic LP look on the *Bay. They're always on there and usually not as worn in as this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darkmavis Posted February 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 If you like the guitar.....get it.

Members Inspector 71 Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'd keep the PRS. That's the only kind of PRS I would get.So that's how you spell swop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flummox Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think the PRS is a lot more guitar. Maybe you should compromise and look for a nice 90s Standard - less money, better instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WALL-E Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'd have to go with the "don't do it" camp. I'm not a huge PRS fan but I'd rather have that fine example than a beat to death modded 70's Deluxe. The time period was dodgey for Gibson and it's been modded...how well was the mod done? Significant routing? Unless the guitar absolutely screams to you that it is "the one" I wouldn't do it. And even if it did that...I'd sell the PRS and use the cash to buy the LP...you might have some left over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
