Had to share in the place where I think my excitement would be truly understood. Got my first PRS last night-- a charcoal black Vela that I first saw at a local shop a year ago and have been fantasizing about ever since.
First impression: she's light, like, super light. I thought mahogany guitars were supposed to be heavy.
Playability: flawless, although I might end up putting 10s back on. I usually play 11s but they feel really heavy on this neck. Speaking of necks, I love the shape of this one, reminds me of my favorite Godin.
Sound: Being a weeknight, I didn't really get the chance to open up, but I can say that this is a wholly different guitar, unlike my strats, teles, LPs, etc. Going to take some getting used to, but in a good way.
The best part: when my wife saw it she said, "Your first PRS!" clearly implying that it won't be the last.
