If you own more than one PRS....

[P90s]

Do you play them all equally? Do you gravitate to one for a while (days or weeks or months) and then latch onto another for days/weeks/months.....then another (eg., you're a serial monogamist) or do you randomly pick up different PRS guitars on a daily basis?

 

[sergiodeblanc]

It’s purely an emotional decision.

 

[xjbebop]

Flavor of the day / week... it changes...
Play what makes you happy!

 

[alantig]

It varies. Sometimes it just to play a certain guitar I haven't played in a while. Sometimes it's based on the controls. Sometimes it's nothing more than convenience. Sometimes it's just because this is the tone I want to hear today. And sometimes it's to force myself to think differently.

Recording is a different story - that's driven by what guitar I think is going to fit the song the best.

 

[Bowtiefanatc]

It's emotional, rational, completely irrational, spontaneous, as well as completely planned out.

Hope that helps. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

I have a number one, but try to give each one some love equally. I feel that if there is one not getting played - it should go.

I maybe had 12 or so and am down to 4 core PRS. I could get down to one if needed as I never break a string.

As Sergio said it is an emotional thing as to which one gets the nod.

 

[bodia]

I tend to gravitate to one and play that one for any given time. I recently started to think I should grab the first one on the wall today, and the next one tomorrow, etc. We'll see if that ever happens.

 

[jak3af3r]

It depends. One venue I play regularly starts off with an acoustic set followed by full-band electric so my hollowbody piezo gets a lot of love there. If I'm just doing electric I tend to bounce back and forth between the McCarty and custom 24 based on my mood. At home I gravitate to the McCarty unless I'm recording then I'll go for the 24.

 

[drjenkins]

Luck of the draw for me. Just whatever looks like it needs playing. It will trend towards the newest in, but eventually they'll work into the rotation. Plus, I use four different tunings so that will go into the decision too.

 

[TroyBaer]

I don't play mine equally. One of them is my #1, another is a fine backup for that, and the other two are specialty tools because they're in alternate tunings.

 

[dmatthews]

I tend to play the heck outta the latest acquisition.
Then I'm slutting around with all the others equally... mostly...
Then it's back to the newest GF.

95% of my PRS playing time is divided between the NF3 and Custom 24. The Semi-hollow LTD C22 is my "special occasions" guitar and my older C22 needs a volume pot, so it gets an occasional tickle until I get it fixed.

 

[Andy80]

I disproportionately play my silver sky more than my SC245. I don't love the 245, but it's a great guitar. I just love the sound and feel of the SS.

 

[Tim S]

Since buying a number of SE & S2 guitars, I find myself pretty much ignoring my F & G guitars. (they still get occasional attention)

So my choice of guitar at any particular time boils down to which neck carve I prefer at the moment or whether I want to use humbuckers or soapbars.

If I find myself not touching a particular guitar for a few months, then I’ll pull it out of its case and remind myself why I bought it in the first place. (it’s like Christmas all over again)

 

[Ryan Murphy]

Ill have to let you know when my 2nd PRS gets here.

 

[11top]

And I have a couple that I don’t play at all. I know: Disgraceful, blasphemy, beyond comprehension, “doctorly, dentistry-ee, lawyerly”, nerdy, unownerly, and criminal.









Yep.

 

[markd21]

For gigs it's, first, about what's new. Second, it's about looks. Third, it's about what I'm wearing, lol. Doing a session it's about what'll sit the material best. Usually it's a 22 fret bolt on or set-neck. Sitting around the house it's a free for all - just whatever I feel like playing.

I feel very blessed to have more than one Core, let alone as many as I do. I try to use them all as much possible.

 

[Malloc]

Only have two and they’ve been getting around 50/50 playtime intentionally for wear leveling. It helps that they have similar voice and identical control layouts.

 

[Mark Ray]

At this point my P22 gets played at every gig, because of the "P." That leaves the others to fight for time being the second guitar I take (I always take 2).

 

[Black Plaid]

If I've bought a new one, I tend to play that to the exclusion of all others, but then settle back to my favorite after a while. There are some I don't play, the ones with the wide-thin neck or plastic binding, as they have fallen out of favor with my hands. Tempted to sell the one with binding.
