This thread may as well be titled: "Is AC/DC overpriced compared to a AC/DC cover band?" for the kinda debating we got goin' on around here.
If you go back to the OP's question, we can see why. Human endeavor to get the best outcome for thyself (ie making a good purchase on hard earned money). The oft chance that some view here may make sense. You have to have an opinion, you have to try. What else do you do?
I'm not sure if I get you, are you saying you're posting here with the goal that a head honcho at PRS will read it and think "you know what, that guy is right and the gig is up. He knows we've been ripping these fools off for years, time to drop all our RRPs by 20%!" ?
Everybody needs to oppress somebody.
That's why I miss having employees.

Thought some of you might find this discussion eye opening....several very good posts.
Haha of course you're making progress.
Good to know you're beginning to understand. Now if you can realize there's no guitar maker in the grassy knoll keeping prices high across the board.
Then you haven't been playing the right Gibsons and Fenders...both companies are putting out fine guitars...while I love my PRS...I have also played and acquired some great guitars by other manufacturers...I do believe that PRS is constantly innovating....more so than others....but to knock the others and say all the Gibsons and Fenders you've played recently are terrible makes me question whether or not you played any R9's or C/S when doing your comparisons.
This.
And no. I don't think PRS is overpriced comparatively.
Enough Ranting! Go play guitar Fellas!!!
Markie it has been too long since I been involved in a good azz kickin....mind if I get a few licks in too?
Have some more kids? :-D
Hah! I put three through college. That was enough! They oppressed me!
I just read the post mentioning relic guitars as a selling point for other well known brands. This is beyond my comprehension - these people trash a guitar and then expect to sell it at a higher price? And fools are daft enough to buy these professionally trashed guitars? That is just plain crazy.
Please PRS, NEVER release a signature relic guitar, please please NEVER!!
Case in point. Why does an R9 cost approx 30% more than an R8 made of the same materials, just slightly different neck carve? Better luthiers? That's a maybe, and even so does it warrant a 30% markup? No. It's simply because people are willing to pay for that perceived R9 value.
