Was this a matter of the person wanted a guitar, you had one that happened to be a 408, but they didn't like the pickups so they passed? Did they go buy another model in a similar color/top with different pickups?( I know you have a massive PS collection...that's a completely different argument) All I'm saying is...why is anyone considering buying a guitar if they don't like the way it sounds, when PRS makes many other models available in the same colors, tops, and various pickup options?
Most of the guitars I've sold have been through Reverb, Ebay (shudder), GearPage, etc., so most buyers don't have a chance to play first. I've had people pass on a sale because they couldn't change the pups.
And, the points I'm making about tone are 1) there are lots of buyers who buy without hearing the guitar first. I assure you there were lots of Silver Sky sales where buyers never had one in their hands first. Is that wise? I dunno. Ask the buyer. Maybe they thought they'd sound just like John Mayer.
2) How a guitar sounds can depend upon outside variables (like room, like amp, like band mix). And again, our tastes can change.
but HEY.................................I LIKE 408s!
I have some.
