Couldn't agree more. How many times have you seen someone bring home a brand new, $2000+ guitar and immediately gut it and replace the pickups and electronics. Makes the S2's even more attractive for someone who is a chronic "upgrader" I would think.

I got one of the very early Miras, so early in the production that it came with a Strat switch tip instead of the PRS one. The volume pot died pretty early, and the pickups were merely okay, but the guitar itself is one of the best playing/feeling that I have ever owned at any price. After...

It's at a very reputable dealer here in the LA area and they are open to my offer. Just need to schedule a time to go up and test drive it to make sure it is right. Looks absolutely amazing in the photos. So my question: is there anything that I need to be aware of or specifically check out...

Can only speak for myself, but I still feel there is something that my G's give me that the PRS' don't, tonally. Cannot put my finger on it and no point really trying to rationalize, but these days my SG gets as much play time as my Mira (despite the fact that the Mira subjectively plays and...

I am using an EHX Nano 360. Very cool little pedal, with 11 savable tracks and what seems to be an unlimited number of overdubs per track. Sound quality is excellent but its only the 2nd looper I have ever used so I don't have much to compare to.

I agree with Les. This guy is a jerkoff, and I have a hard time believing he is having so much trouble with these pedals.. I have been buying pedals of one type or another, mass-produced and boutique, for over 35 years and have never had one fail out of the box from any manufacturer. And...

Good choice, and darn if that isn't a beautiful one. I've had my S2 Mira since 2013 when they first came out and I love it, have not really ever heard anything but praise for the S2's. I will dissent slightly by saying that I actually bought it because it is similar to an SG (the Mira and my...

I tend to agree on both points. I don't see the Vela as a trem-equipped guitar, just feels too far from its ethos. And I would love to see the satin finish on those!

Not a pro but in a band. I have a regular full-time gig like most of you, and I am lucky in the sense that I can theoretically afford to buy just about any guitar that I want. What do I actually buy? Budget models mostly - PRS S2's, Faded Gibsons, pawn shop queens. I've owned a bunch of very...

Oh, hallelujah! This is the guitar I have been waiting for! Thanks for the udpate

I've been wanting to try Suhr pickups. My Mira currently has a set of Jonesy Blues PAFs in it and they are proving to be one of my favorites ever.

Just looks like the finish sinking a bit into the maple. Seems pretty normal to me.
