Instantly want more PRS guitars...

[Gtrbldr]

With exception of a "for fun" cheap Jackson 7 string this year - which already left my home - I bought 6 PRSi last 4 years. Sold one PRS and a couple of other guitars as well, but it paints a picture.

So since I got my 2024 SE Custom 24 Quilt I've been really wanting more models. I currently have a Gibson Les Paul 60s that I have for sale, and I also have a Fender Am Pro Strat that has needs some fret work. At this point, I'm REALLY tempted to get a 594 once the LP sells, and I'm contemplating selling the Strat instead of paying for the fretwork and getting a Silver Sky to replace it.

I know I'm likely still in the honeymoon stage with my CU24, and I shouldn't make any rushed decisions (I wont), but man that feeling is strong to go all in on PRS. I think the SE line punches far above its weight, it's quite shocking frankly.

Anyway, not much point to this thread other than I wanted to express these thoughts/feelings, and this seems like the right place to do it (my girlfriend certainly doesn't want to hear it! haha).

Anyone else lean pretty hard into PRS after discovering the brand?

While I admire and can relate to a degree the "honeymoon" phase you speak of since getting your new PRS (congrats by the way ), as a person who also just got a new PRS core model (Special SH wood library), if my advice is worth anything as a fellow enthusiast and player, allow some time to let the new purchase fully sink in as you eluded to. Not that it would change your feelings regarding wanting to get another PRS, but I've found at least myself, that WHAT I might want to purchase next fluctuates after spending a solid amount of time with a fresh axe. After really letting all the new features (if they are new to you) sink in, and really getting a better overall feel for it, I found that what I initially thought I would feel after receiving and playing my new guitar fluctuated more than I expected as I discovered certain things, certain sounds, etc. made me appreciate new fields that I didn't expect, thus changing my overall decision on what my next possible PRS guitar might be. No need to cut the honeymoon short either, the more time you take to feel things out, the better your final perception will be as to the new path you might want to take down Paul Reed Smith Ave.
