My son is about to graduate from middle school and I foolishly cut a deal with him that I'd get him a new guitar for graduation if he made high honors all year. Well, we're two months out from my bluff being painfully called. As it turns out, the place is more or less on the way between his school and NYC, so I figured let's make a stop and he can try out a few fiddles (I hope he gives up on the Music Man Majesty because a $4k guitar is NOT happening, to say nothing of the fact they are just plain butt-fugly).
This is literally just one wall that is toes-to-nose PRS.
That's all the McCarty's / PG's / Customs. There's a whole separate room of Korean models, plus a good dozen or so Wood Library and Private Stocks just out of reach. I played this Replicant Purple Private Stock through the Tremonti 15w head and a 112 cab and it felt downright god-like. Like, if the price tag said "your left kidney" I'd have cut it out with my bare hands.
I actually found Brian's looking for a Mayones dealer and once I saw their PRS collection I knew we'd have to make the trip. (btw, not super impressed with the Mayones. First of all, I don't want a guitar named after a condiment and it just felt like a nice Ibanez. But not $6000 worth. And I don't really like Ibbies.)
This is my little demon seed ripping it up on a BEAUTIFUL Custom 24 10-Top.
If you're within striking distance, I can't talk up this shop enough. @Brian G has an incredible place for musicians, by musicians. No $229 Ibanez Jam Packs that are bound for a lifetime of warping in a closet. Really great, knowledgable staff who actually let you play the guitars instead of staring down the end of their nose, letting you know they don't think you can afford it. It's like the cosmic opposite of a Guitar Center. The selection is beyond words. It's simply absurd. Never seen so many amazing guitars, amps and pedals under one roof (Make'N Music in Chicago might be close).
Oh, I think my son found his guitar (let's see that final report card first) and though I could probably get it $100 cheaper, I'm going to absolutely give them the business. And that red Custom 24 is whispering sweet nothings at me.
