First Post!
I’ve been reading the electric and acoustic forums for a while now and I’m really impressed everybody’s knowledge and passion. I have two electric PRSi, one which I really like, and one which I love. I still need to get around to posting my NGDs on the electric forum.
But I’ve taken a real liking to playing acoustic. I’ve been borrowing my son’s cheap Peavey, now I want to take the plunge for a PRS SE acoustic. So I’m hoping you might help with opinions, thoughts, and facts.
I’m leaning towards the soon to be released Lifeson. I like the idea of the thin body, but I don’t like the idea of the tone controls (and other controls too, right?) being internal. (Wow, I feel stupid for asking this, but the controls have no effect when the guitar is not plugged in, right? Or do you just take out the battery to disable the controls?) So I’ve also been considering the Angelus Custom and Standard, since their controls are on the outside. But, really, I doubt I’ll ever plug in my acoustic, so should I even care about the controls being internal? How easy is it to manipulate the internal controls?
Any thoughts on the Dao wood in the Lifeson?
I’ve read threads on the Custom vs Standard Angelus, but any other thoughts would be appreciated. And, if it matters, my skill level is about a one on a scale of ten. But I am working hard to get better!!!
Anyway, thanks for listening, and all opinions and advice will be appreciated.
