It's light, but I don't like hollowbodies (the only exception is the Gibson Lucille) or more accurately, I don't like the attack. I don't know how to describe it, each picked note feels like a gut-punch cough, like it's all air and no density to it. I like that when I play acoustic, it's a whole...

:D yeah, I'm at a $200 per gig minimum, but I get more sax gigs than guitar or piano at the moment. It gets tough if you don't have a steady gig.

Boy, that's pretty grim if you take it seriously. Makes my addiction look like child's play. Actually my wife(-to-be) helped me buy 3 of the guitars on the picture (the 305, the Johnny Hiland and the Swamp Ash Special), she's a keeper. Can't really justify buying a Private Stock though, I...

You mean the light blue one (third from the left)? That's a powder blue 305. Next to it is a vintage white Swamp Ash Special; when my guitar tech was taking it apart for a complete setup, he discovered it was actually a model that originally came with 3 Narrowfields, but the first owner modded...

Yeah! Been hit with some Thanos & the PRS Gauntlet references too... my Infinity Cores :D

Yeah, each one I've tried thus far has been way too heavy for me, looking for a lighter option (hence the McCarty and Mira suggestions). My back has an ironclad veto on this. :D

Glad you caught that! I love reggae, ska, rnb and funky stuff, first solo I ever learned was the studio solo to No Woman No Cry :)

All my PRS guitars have a bit of mods to em - ebony or maple switch and trem tips & tuners,lampshade knobs on older models (replacing the speed knobs). But pickups remain the same on all my Cores; my S2 workhorse however has a set of Lindy Fralins - Twangmaster bridge & noiseless Alnico Rod P90...

Here's my workhorse, an S2 22 with a Lindy Fralin Twangmaster in the bridge and a Fralin noiseless Alnico Rod P90 in the neck. Super tele-like vibe to the tone and that PRS playability to boot. Push-pull in the middle position for out-of-phase tones (for some cocked-wah style riffing and soloing).

Haven't been visiting this forum in a while - got me 3 PRS guitars (one is not pictured, an S2 22 that I've put a Lindy Fralin set into, my workhorse) in the past 6 months and I feel my addiction is finally sated. So, if I get a band/project/session that brings some more coin to the table...

Indeed it was & a Gibson Goldtop as my 2nd. Before I had my first PRS, my 10+ electrics were mostly Gibsons (LPs, 339) & Fenders (Teles, Strats, JMs & Jags). Now it's these 5 PRS & selling the remaining Gibson and 3 Fenders.

I'm just looking at a white one and that's it. :cool:

Gotta say, mind blown. Quite relieved, I can sell my Fender James Burton signature Telecaster (which has been my main guitar for the past 15 years) with a much lighter heart. This thing has got twang, snap and sizzle of a Tele with the playability and looks of a PRS. Couldn't be happier. The...

Lots of my faves already mentioned (Santana, Mayer, Mason, Hiland), but does Derek Trucks count too? He's a PRS amp player, right?

Close, but it's going to be a 10top... ;)
