How many brands before you found PRS and preferences??

My first guitar was a Cort Les Paul copy, it had a bolt on neck and a bent plywood top. Also humbuckers that were really single coil pickups inside. That really soured me on Cort.

Had a BC Rick NJ Mockingbird after that. Also not a great guitar.

Played Ibanez RG550s until I got my first PRS in 91.

I had a decent Peavey (T-60) in 89 but wanted to buy a one really nice guitar. Thought a Strat would be nice but just wasn't to my liking. Checked out some Jacksons, higher end Ibanez, Charvel. Then I started seeing ads for the new PRS ce and went to try it out. I found what I was looking. Loved the way it played and it felt so natural. I had found my one guitar (ha ha). 9 more PRS'S later though its still my number one.

I still have a Peavey T-60 (first electric guitar ever).

I was ruint early by my buddy Joe
My first guitar is a 2001 Fender Strat MIM Standard
and my 2nd is a Schecter C-1 classic

Everything else is a PRS
When I started playing again after 20 years
Joe was collecting PRS guitars and kept helping me acquire more
The more lessons I took and the better I played, the more I appreciated the quality of the PRS guitars

I do have an itch for a Les Paul R9 though
if I could only tolerate the neck more

I had this until about 3 months ago. My granddaughter started learning to play so I sent it her. She sends us pics of her practicing!

Eventually she'll get learned up on those pesky tone knobs... LoL! I went almost a year before I finally read the instruction manual in the Peavey case and found out tone around 7 and less they are humbuckers, but above 7 they are coil tapped! Haha!

Guitar was way ahead of its time!

Most blue bloods thought they were junk because they were made on machines... Now look at us!

She must be really strong shouldered, though...

My journey started in '83 with a POS Hondo II Strat copy. Traded that for a blue Arbor Explorer copy which I put white tape on to mimic M. Jabs from the Scorpions. From there it was a Kramer Pacer. This all was by the summer of '85. Next up was a blue BC Rich Eagle which I held on to until '87. That got traded in for a Charvel Model 4. Sometime in '88 I decided I was done with guitar. Took that Charvel to GC to sell it and whatever small amp I had at the time. They offered $75 cash, or $125 store credit. Guess I decided to keep playing because I went home with a Eric Clapton Strat in 7-Up green. That got traded in '91 for a Les Paul Studio, which in turn got traded for a first year ('94?) EBMM EVH in hot pink. Loved that guitar, but in '97 I traded that at GC for a '96 McCarty. It was some type of red-ish purple-ish finish. May have been Angry Larry. Sadly, in 2000 I had to sell that to help pay an unexpected tax bill. From there, it's been a whirl wind. I didn't get another PRS until 2006 or 2007. Many other brands have been in and out in that time. When Music Go Round was a big thing I was constantly flipping one guitar for the next.

I started with Yamaha, then moved to Fender, added Gibson and Taylor into my collection, added a Jackson which I didn't get on with before selling a bunch. I then purchased an Ibanez, more Fenders, another Gibson before a PRS came my way.

Very happy I finally bought a PRS, if I'd done it years ago, I'd not have bought as many different guitars trying to find "the one".
