So....
I'm bringing a good friend out to Experience this year. I really want to get him into PRS. He's seen mine(played some of them) and likes them a lot, but mine all have wide fat necks and he prefers a thinner neck. I only have one wide thin neck, which he seemed to like.
He's mostly a rhythm player. Heavy rock like myself, has more metal riff tendencies than me.
He currently plays an LTD Iron Cross(Hetfield sig guitar). It's not a bad guitar, but....meh. He's been talking about ordering an ESP Eclipse Custom shop. I've convinced him to wait til after we go to PRS. He's bringing a good chunk of $ in case something grabs him.
My only concern is there won't be enough to choose from in terms of what he wants.
-Pattern thin neck(maybe regular, he hasn't tried one of those)
-Most likely a stoptail(not sure he'd rule a trem out, but don't think he has any desire for one)
PRS' current line, there's only the Tremonti stoptail that really ticks all the boxes. Who knows if they'll even have one. I know the sales floor has had a huge amount of guitars and generally some stuff that is out of the norm, but still.
I want him to play what he likes playing obviously, but I'd hate to see it be some other brand.
So, this is where my PRS brothers come in. Tell him why he NEEDS a PRS!
