I've wanted a SAS since the day they came out. I ended up with a NF3. That guitar is BY FAR the least "boutiquie" looking of my PRS guitars. It's also one of the greatest guitars I've ever played. The pickups are spectacular. The satin maple Pattern Regular neck is THE BEST NECK EVER! This guitar can do clean to blues to hard rock to all out metal. NO PROBLEM!
That said, I'd still love to own a SAS some day, and that red one with maple above makes my little heart flutter... and, as much as I LOVE my 57/08s... I might be temped to swap the bridge for a 59/09. Or maybe get all old guy metal and put an \M/ in there... guess it depends on what you wanted to do with it. That guitar and a nice three channel amp could cover any gig. NF3 certainly could.
