The paisley cabs are special, for sure - not only because of the covering, but the cabinet work PRS was doing at that time was top notch quality, they're not the same these days.
The HDRX 2x12 I got recently is a good cab, but unfortunately not as nice as the stuff that was coming out during the CAD era. No corner covers, no upper strip across the top, no piping. There's a small funky spot in the basket weave on the HDRX as well, that probably should've been avoided on a cab of that cost. I think the older cabs were very similar in price, even considering inflation, but were really something special.
On the bright side, the import line cabs PRS are using are very good for their price. But I don't feel that I got any more in terms of quality with the premium priced HDRX 2x12, other than a nice set of H75 speakers. Don't get me wrong, it's 100% functional and great sounding, but so are the ones costing 2/3 as much.
Anyways, rant over... how 'bout that paisley? Can you believe a guy sold me an open back paisley 2x12 for $300???
Unfortunately, when my Custom 50 popped up used at GC, someone had already bought the matching 2x12, which I believe was a closed big mouth/deep version. I also came close to snagging one like that when a guy on the other side of the state was selling one with a paisley Blistertone, but for the price he wanted, I just wasn't sure I needed it.
One thing is certain, if an older PRS cab ever pops up near me, even if it's not Paisley, I'll jump on it. Those things are awesome.
