I shudder to think. I might need an intervention at that point.

^This^ I remember stating in one of my first posts here that I bought an SE and I could see buying one more PRS. People scoffed and warned me and I thought they were crazy. 7 additional PRS purchases later, here I am contemplating what my next PRS will be.PRS Are the crack cocaine of the guitar world.

So then, you all understand why I'm still thinking about the used SE HB Standard I played the other day, despite getting my new HB Piezo?!
I would only slightly amend this sentiment, but forum rules forbid some topics.Money is only good for three items really: Pizza, Guitars, Strings. That's it.
Congrats on your purchase! What model did you buy?Interesting (weird) thread. I've wanted a PRS forever, but never had the budget, and since the Rona is still going around, I don't want to go to a store or to anyone's house to check one out. So I ordered one and I came here looking for information. But I find people talking about feeding giraffes and a beaver dragging trees thru what looks like an office and then I watch a video of beavers building a dam at a zoo that's 10 miles from me. Weird. Is this the Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock or what? OK, so I just gave away how old I am and where I live.
Since I'm not a super great player it doesn't make sense to me spend too far over my head and budget, so I ordered an SE Standard 24. So I have a question for the OP.
OP: Besides the broken headstock, were you expecting the SE to be heavier? I have an SG that on the heavy side, so I'm hoping the SE will be on the light side - which could be interpreted as feeling "cheap". And if the retailer does a thorough inspection and setup, hopefully the SE will arrive in good shape.
I ordered an SE Standard 24 Tobacco Sunburst. Delivery date is 2 months out. I'm hoping that without the maple cap and veneer it will be lighter and will resonate better.What model did you buy?
My first PRS was a Standard 22 (hard tail). I love it to this day. After getting it, I sought out this forum and found the fine people here (seriously, the best group I’ve ever encountered online).I ordered an SE Standard 24 Tobacco Sunburst.

Cheers!
Uh Oh.I remember stating in one of my first posts here that I bought an SE and I could see buying one more PRS. People scoffed and warned me and I thought they were crazy. 7 additional PRS purchases later, here I am contemplating what my next PRS will be.
I joined this forum after I bought a used and slightly beat-up CU24 - it was my dream guitar (other than the wear and tear), had all the characteristics/features I wanted (10 top, Emerald Green, birds). I figured I would lurk in the forum where other folks had the same brand of guitars and learn stuff, never dreamed I'd buy another PRS at the time - it had taken 30 years of playing guitar to finally get one, and I had a Strat and a LP and a Tele and a few other "typical" guitar types/brands, so surely the CU24 was gonna be enough?I remember stating in one of my first posts here that I bought an SE and I could see buying one more PRS.

It definitely looks like you have something to show for your addiction.I have far too many, yet nearly not enough, PRSi now.
Oh, and now my wife plays bass, so she is up to four PRS basses.
Oh, and I have a few PRS amps too. If PRS releases a Bass Amp, you know we'll get one...
Nice!Aaaack!!! I placed my order last week, expecting a short delay - you know, a couple weeks or maybe a month. My Sweetwater sales guy called and said it would be the end of November. I figure, well that's cool, because it would actually be near my birthday. He calls today and says it shipped. They received a bigger shipment than expected or something. It should be here in a few days. I'm starting to drool.
Can’t wait for your impressions!
