Looks pretty cool to me. Thoughts?

This is YUGE!

They look better than I originally thought they would.

Not as close up though, right?

 

[bodia]

So would! I really hope these see the light of day!

No sir, great pic!

The horn sculpting looks great. That's one of my problems with the strat when getting up to those upper frets.

 

[Jimi D]

WOULD!!

I've been kind of looking for a bolt-on "S-type" guitar lately too... well, I mean I was sorta looking for a bolt-on "S-type" guitar... past tense... now I'm waiting... on word from PRS... about these Mayer sigs... I'm going back to the 305 for a bit I guess...

Is it me, or are those vintage-style synchronized bridges rather than the Gen III?

You guessed right.

 

[ViperDoc]

VERY INTERESTING...

Where do you adjust the truss rod from? Could this be a rubber plug on the headstock and not use a headstock cover?
If this comes to production I would like a headstock adjusted truss rod and a PRS tremolo.
Looks like a revival of the older EG series.

I don't think the reverse headstock looks great. Reminds me of an Ibanez ATK bass.
Otherwise nothing wrong with the EG comparisons

 

[sergiodeblanc]

cool cool.

 

[markd21]

Neat, odd, and different!

I believe the consensus in an earlier thread on this was a graphite truss rod.

the trc has a screw on it, so I'm sure that it is adjustable.
so far I'm intrigued. Ive been on a Strat kick lately and have actually kinda been looking at a few of them. I found one at a local shop that plays well and sounds good but I remember thinking to myself, "there is NO WAY I would pay $1600 for this." the fit and finish was honestly just like a Squier. the MX std one next to it was virtually identical. the electronics were different. At any rate, if PRS releases these "S-types" and puts them at a competitive price point to an American Standard or Professional Strat, they are gonna have a killer on their hands.

I think I need to see it in two-tone sunburst to pass judgement.
