Hello Peeps,
I'm andy and a new owner of a PRS guitar (synkrotron is the artist pseudonym). Just got it today. I've wanted one for ages and I thought, sod it, I'm getting one. I only meant to go and have a look at some. A colleague from work suggested I pay a visit to a shop called Sound Affects, near Liverpool in the UK. I was interested to discover what the difference was between the £600 and £2000 guitars. My SG was £600, some time ago, so even the so called "Student Edition" guitars are still expensive.
That cost me though, because as I was sat there, playing a couple of the more expensive PRS guitars, I decided that's what I want. I mean, the SE guitars are still an excellent guitar, but I fell in love with this Charcoal Burst Studio thing. I believe it is a 2012 model, but that does not matter. This guitar is a thing of beauty. I think I'm going to take it to bed with me tonight ;-)
A bit about me - Well, for one thing, I am not worthy of owning a PRS. I have been "dabbling" with guitars since 1979 and I still can't play. I started with a Eko Ranger 6, and I still have that. Other guitars included a CBS strat copy (yeah, true budget that one LOL), an Aria Cardinal Pro II, a Gibson Les Paul Studio (briefly, due to money issues) and more recently I bought a Gibson SG Special, because I've always been a big fan of that guitar.
So, now I have my PRS Studio in Charcoal Burst, with a 10 top (whatever that is - I've so much to learn).
The next thing I need are some guitar lessons.
cheers
andy
