It's a Sugar Moon Fiore.What color is it?
You did the right thing.This popped up in my "memories" over on social media. I looked at it and realized that, although it was a really great guitar, it was the only PRS that I just somehow didn't bond with. It played and sounded nice. I mean, it had Dragon 1s in it. It hit all the checkmarks that I look for in a PRS guitar. But, somehow, it just didn't quite get me there.
Maybe it was the top, that even though it was quilted and a 10 top, I couldn't quite see in lighting that was any dimmer than what is in this pic. Maybe it was the Zebra pickups (which have never been my thing). It was hot, but easily tamed down a bit with a roll off on the volume, but somehow, I had difficulty finding that sweet spot. When I played it, it just didn't give me that butterflies in the stomach feel that I have had with all of my other ones.
I ended up selling it to someone who absolutely loves it and still uses it to record. But, sometimes, a guitar can be as individual as a person as far as how you get along.
Anyone else ever experience this.
(pic below was when I took it in for a setup and a once over)
Not trying to start a flame war here. And I am DEFINITELY not trolling. Just putting it out there.
Hmmmm....I tend to find just the opposite. We PRS people tend to be pickier about things like fit and finish than those from other companies who actually LIKE the relic thing. A sworl here or a scratch there may actually end up in a return of an otherwise ridiculous instrument. MOST of the PRS guitars I have had have been used. And just about all of them were a grade higher than what they were listed for.Am I the only one who has encountered a different standard for 'condition on used PRS' compared to Fender or Gibson Custom Shops? PRS' sold as "Very Good" or "Excellent" tend to have been gigged while "Very Good" or "Excellent" high-end Fender and Gibsons tend to be case queens.

that hussyI had a SC for a while and just couldn't get used to it. I have 2 LP's so I traded it for a pristine 1983 Tele.
I had a Swamp Ash Special Studio that I really wanted to like, but it wasn't happening. Traded it for a 335. I saw the SAS at a Musicgoround a few months later. I ran into the guy who traded it to MGR and said the same thing, it just wasn't "it". I just saw the same guitar on FB Marketplace a month ago. She gets around.
I still have 5 core PRS's and intend on keeping them all.
I sold one (That I CERTAINLY) should have kept, and then saw it pop up again on Reverb. FOR ALMOST DOUBLE what I got for it. I couldn't bring myself to pay that much to get her back, even if she could have been "the one".I just saw the same guitar on FB Marketplace a month ago. She gets around.
I've regretted most guitars I've sold off, and yeah, they would cost me about double or more to buy back. Just gotta let em goI sold one (That I CERTAINLY) should have kept, and then saw it pop up again on Reverb. FOR ALMOST DOUBLE what I got for it. I couldn't bring myself to pay that much to get her back, even if she could have been "the one".
