My middle daughter’s a nurse, though for now she’s being a mom and enjoying her baby. Fantastic profession!

Has her choice of plum jobs anywhere in the world she wants to go.

.....Your wide/fat neck profile is making it difficult for me to play my other guitars.

For YEARS, I have had guitars, usually many guitars, that weren't from PRS. I would typically have only one PRS guitar at a time. And it would get played sparingly as to not ruin the flawless finishes that I seeked out on them. I would break them out as kind of a treat to myself if you will, or when company came over that knew what they were looking at, I'd break them out. But I would play all of the other guitars I've had more. I wasn't playing out for a good decade and a half anyway so NONE of them got as much playing time as they probably deserved.

Now, however, with me joining a band and using one of my CU22s to play gigs with.....and as a result, rehearse with (so I am used to the feel enough to not have to think very much when I am playing), am finding that the wide/fat is sucking me in. And all of my other guitars don't feel quite as good. I have liked that neck since my first PRS in the early 2000s, but now, it seems to make my other guitars feel less like "home". And that kind of sucks because I do have some nice guitars with some great tones that I enjoyed having fun with in the past.

It is a disease I tell ya.......a progressive disease like drug addiction or alcoholism. D*mn you PRS!!!

Wide fat is an addicting neck carve for sure - but pattern vintage has ruined me! Argh! As you say, first world problems!

I'm with you. I need to put a PV back in my life!

PV rests very comfortably in my hand, too, though I also love the Pattern and WF. Oh, and the Pattern Regular. And, uh, the regular.

The WT and PT, aren’t slouches, either!

You know what....now that I think about it, you are right.

There are people out there, with much better playing skills than me, who will NEVER be able to afford to own a core PRS guitar. And here I am differentiating between the one that I "play out" and the one that "I keep in mint condition because it is a limited run". Amazing how we can get complacent sometimes and it almost translates into being ungreatful.

I guess only wanting to play my PRS most of the time is a good problem to have in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah you do!
