Haha, in fairness, it was a Prestige RG2550Z, so roughly the same value, but this S2 will actually get played! The RG was a lovely guitar, but I came to the realisation that when it comes to being Eddie, I'm more Cochran than Van Halen!

Picked this up yesterday in a straight trade for a Ibanez RG that wasn’t getting any use since it came to me in a trade a few years ago. I wasn’t really looking for another white guitar after snagging a white and gold Mira core about a month ago, and had never really looked at the single cuts...

Ah, they look even better :) Thanks for the link!

Thank you, I love it! I've been playing for 30 years and had never played a PRS before I got this one in April this year. I think I was afraid I would like them so much that I would have to find a way to get one!

Yes they are. Gold with ebony (I think) buttons. I'm still finding my way around all the PRS specs!

Very nice! I like the look of yours with the black pickup rings too. I may have to try some of those...

Here's my '98 Custom 24, a gift from my wife for my birthday this year, and my first PRS! It looks a lot more vibrant in person; I suppose I'll have to take some better photos!

Thanks! It's a Rodriguez Model E, I think. I had not played it for a while and it was stored in the Humi-case that it came with. I guess it was a little too 'Humi' because when I got it out recently, I noticed the entire back was discoloured! If I turned it around, it's almost the same colour as...

For the last few weeks I've been looking to get an SG, and I tried quite a few that were available locally, both new and used. I had about decided on a 2016 Standard when I saw a listing for this 2008 Mira pop up for sale. After some quick research, I went to play it and it immediately felt more...

I had the same thing yesterday when posting a reply with a quote containing an emoji. I removed the emoji from the quoted text and it posted fine, so it looks like that may be the issue, or one of the issues.

It's hard to not love the hair-curling roar of a of a driven valve amp (or the sweetness of a clean one), but all I know is that since getting a Kemper about a month ago, I've been playing more than I have in the last twenty years! Admittedly, I'm just a home player these days, but it's amazing...

Thanks for the welcome! Knoxville is hot enough for me without going further south :) I do occasionally run down to Norcross; there's a little shop there that sells all the British food I miss!

The small collection of low-wattage valve combos I've accumulated over the last few years. Nothing high end, and perfectly serviceable amps, but I've been chasing the sound of a driven amp while living in an area where getting anywhere close to the volume required for that will mean a visit from...

HI all, Another new member here, of both the forum and PRS. Originally from the south of England, and for twenty years now living in the smouldering south that is Tennessee! My amazing wife bought me a '98 Custom 24 for my birthday earlier this year and it's rapidly become my joint favourite...
