What to buy if only buying one

[micgeo]

Do you have any other guitars that you are looking to complement with the PRS?? Or would the PRS be your sole instrument??

I have Martin D515 for acoustic and two electrics PRS SE Santana 2001 and Ibanez Roadster II from the 80s.
I took at look at Gibson SG due to the comparison with Mira. I found the knobs and place where guitar cable connects quite awkward

A 513 is for sure a super versatile guitar but the Custom 24 covers a lot of ground as well. The DGT can get a lot of variation too having two volume knobs as well. Then there is the 408 switching.... No way you can easily decide... If there was an easy answer, the guitar making industry wouldn't exist

I think you should narrow down the options by answering some pretty basic questions first:
Style of music you mostly play?
DO you need a piezo bridge?
Do you prefer 22 or 24 frets?
Do you like a thiner or thicker body?
Tremolo or stoptail?
How much are single coil sounds important to what you play?
How much are humbuckers important to what you play?
Thinner or thicker neck?
Smaller or bigger frets?

I have the easy answer! My old Artist 3 semi hollow trem if Markie still has it up for sale. IMO, that as good a sounding guitar as PRS has EVER made. :rock:

I think you're simply going to have to go and play a few...preferably through YOUR rig.
