First PRS . Went to buy a Paul's guitar and came out with a silver sky

[crumbler]

Hi,
I'm New to the forum.
I've wanted a PRS forever and set my heart on Paul's guitar.
When I got home I'd bought a silver sky. I'm very happy with my choice and have no regrets at all. I'd read loads of articles on Paul's guitar and played a few as well. But in the store I spotted a silver sky maple and thought I'd just have a try, that was it I was sold. Strange how things turn out sometimes.
Now an official PRS owner and wondering why I never bought one earlier.

Welcome to your new addiction.

And just a heads up. It didn't happen without PIX!!!!

 

[Turkeyhead]

Funny how things work out like that. They are two very different guitars. Both great. But, I agree, pics or it didn’t happen.

So, I guess you already have a wishlist

1. Pauls guitar
2. Whatever comes next

Welcome!

Congrats And Welcome To The Family.

Congrats on getting a guitar that fit you.

Sometimes the right guitar can fit like a glove.

Thanks for the replies. I'll post pics later on in the week when I'm home. I've told my wife this is the last guitar I need, she's heard that before was her reply.

Well just try to distribute your attention and touch in ways that won't make her jealous of your guitars.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your first. Word of caution; the slope is slippery. Very slippery.

At nearly 60 years of age I'm hoping experience will keep me on the straight and narrow, and not expand my collection. Who am I trying to fool

Welcome crumbler!
PRS guitars have strange powers. Back in 1994, I went to buy a used Koa BC Rich Mockingbird and walked out with a new CE24.

The first PRS feels great, the next ones feel even better. Don't ask me how I know...

Congrats on the SS, I have a maple SS myself and this is a great guitar

I’ve had that happen to me before, and after I looked for a year for the guitar I wanted. Found the right one, tried it, really liked it but… FELL for the other one!

I wanted a book matched guitar with humbuckers and bought a moc sand finish with single coils.
Couldn't be happier.

I'm 67.
It doesn't work...

I'll take comfort in the knowledge my retirement fund isn't being wasted then

Congrats on the new guitar!

Yeah, we all know that's just one of things we tell our wives, straight-faced and sincere while knowing we don't really mean it, we're just treading water until we get to the next subject.

Just like:

- I'm planning to do that tom'w.
- I love your family.
- Why would you think that makes your butt look big?
- I'd rather just stay home w/you.
- No, that dress looks fine on you.
- What, with her? Never crossed my mind.

Welcome crumbler! Wave goodbye to your sense and sensibility as the PRS train is leaving the station!! You are now on board the PRS Express, deposit your wallet with the conductor ;~))

- Of course I didn't fart!

Welcome !! and Congrats
I 100% understand you grabbing a Silver Sky ( even over a Pauls ) just played a couple of Pauls guitars and they didn't speak to me. ( Like my 408 better )
Check out a NF53 next
