Turns out this one was originally purchased at Brian's Guitars. Dude is from Connecticut.

They said RIver Blue, but it's either the bright sunlight and their camera, or it's got some fade to it that looks really cool!
I was more about the guitar model itself for the price, but the color was just a bonus!

Ah, yes... thanks. Some remedial learning shows me that these Exp. PRS 2020 ME V's were released in 2 colors: Charcoal and River Blue.

I've seen/played a Charcoal PRS (not a ME V) in person--that finish is stunning. And from what I can tell from pictures of River Blue, well... I'd have a seriously hard time deciding between those two.

Absolutely stellar. Such great guitars!

Beautiful guitar! And I must compliment you on your color sense, sir.

To those that have one of these, are they as bas@$$ as they appear to be on the videos?

Yes. Yes it is. This guitar is the only guitar I will ever need as long as I live. Between sessions and the cover band I recently joined, the MEV has provided me with the tones I want and need.

Lol, my mind goes crazy with all the little PS tweaks I could give one to make it "better".

hoo Nice!! so sweet sexy chocolate, have fun bad boy!!!

I went & watched two of the PRS/Bryan Ewald videos--1 for the 2019 PS and 1 for the Exp 2020 guitars. Still blows my mind to think of 34 different sounds and yet that control layout does not look particularly daunting at all. This guitar must be a dream for anybody doing session work, and being asked to conjure up different sounds on a whim.

Gonna be Hell in the hobby cover band... Hehehe. Should fit right in with all the other Swiss Army Knife guitars... LoL!!!

At least you have enough PRSi now that the band can be a full PRS line up

That's tight. Nice score.
