My needs started out simple: one of everything. For a while a custom, a HB, an archtop, an early SAS and a plain old Braz neck seemed to cover it.
But Paul insisted on making new stuff and now I can’t keep track of what I takes to constitute everything anymore.
Maybe I’ll just take a nap and let somebody else enumerate:
What is the smallest collection that includes everything PRS has to offer?
Oh, IDK. Roughly 500 million dollars.
You gotta have one of every hard tail in every color and one of every trem in every color.
And one of each of those with and without maple top
Every maple top means not figured and figured
Figured means flame and quilt
You need base models and 10 tops
You need artist packages
You need PS models
You need SEs
You may need CEs and S2s
And then you need SEs and perhaps S2s with upgraded parts and factory stock examples
Let's not forget various pickup combinations
Basically, you're going to need about 36 of everything PRS has ever made, plus a lot more
And you need two of every guitar mentioned
I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
The correct number of guitars will always be n+1 where n=number of guitars currently owned
However, in this instance, I think we can improve upon this mathematical equation:
The correct number of PRS guitars is always nPRSi+1 where nPRSi=number of Paul Reed Smith instruments currently owned.
And then you have the formula b*2 where b=number of guitar brands currently owned
Clear example:
I currently own a PRS SE
b*2=PRS SE+PRS Core
Once I own both
b*2=PRS SE+PRS Core+PRS PS+Gibson Custom
The arithmetic never lies. Arithmetic is the law of nature. You cannot argue with it. It is the end all be all. Breaking the laws of nature comes with the most severe consequences.
Therefore, we all must buy more guitars and also he who dies with the most guitars wins.
I challenge anybody to find flaws in my iron clad, Rock solid arguments
