Not to taint anyone's breakfast here, but I'm hoping not. That having been said, they probably will, and more people will support them for it. Because it seems like a lot of what PRS have been doing over the past several years is make concessions to the traditional 1950s school of electric guitar design - focusing more on 22 fret designs, phasing out the 25" scale Singlecuts, the Silver Sky - and players have been eating them up.
I'm glad PRS continue to offer the design that made them what they are today - the Custom 24, which AFAIK still remains their best seller - but they seem to get more attention and praise for the designs that are basically PRS versions of older, even more established designs: Strat/Silver Sky; Les Paul/McCarty SC 594...heck one could even say Vela/Jazzmaster, though that might be a bit of a stretch. But what I like about the original PRS guitar design in both Standard and Custom variants is that while it retains the best features of a Strat or Les Paul (double cutaway for easy upper fret access and vibrato tailpiece for pitch control from a Strat, dual humbuckers and a carved arch top from a Les Paul) while being its own animal and offering things that weren't standard on either one (coil splits and a two octave fretboard).
I may be in a minority of sorts, but I want my PRS to be a PRS the way they were originally conceived to be: a double cut, 25" scale 24-fret guitar with a carved top. If I wanted a Strat, LP or Tele, I'd sooner buy the original than PRS version of one.
