New member here. I don't have enough posts to post any links for pictures yet so I'll let you imagine what I have in your imagination until then.
In order of acquisition,
2007 SE Custom (before there was a 22/24 fret option) in Grey Black with a trem. This was my first electric guitar and what really got me into PRS as a brand. My hands are alien acidic and the original pickup pole-pieces started rusting so I had them replaced with two EMG 89's (scandalous, I know, but it's an SE) and had another hole drilled in between the factory pots-think Bernie knob layout. So now it has a 3-way toggle, two volumes, one tone with independent coil splits on the volume pots.
2010 Custom 24 in Angry Larry with rosewood neck with the "standard" carve. I bought this one after maybe two months of searching for this exact combination that wasn't an anniversary model because I hated the birds on those models. This one I got in January of 2014 and it shipped from Virginia to Kentucky where there was snow on the ground and it was still in tune when I pulled it out of the case. I find a few things odd about this guitar like it having a 5-way blade instead of a rotary (if I'm not mistaken 2011 was when the switch switch occurred), the top was a 10 top before it was sanded (I guess) because it was special ordered and under the pickup it's labeled "10," and it's one of the only quilt top Angry Larry I've ever seen.
2009 Singlecut Hollowbody Piezo. I don't know what color the thing was originally. I checked the MODCAT and nothing showed up. It reminded me of a dragon's breath from blue matteo at the neck to emerald down by the bottom strap button. This guitar was severely mistreated and had huge gouges in the neck and bits of clearcoat missing all over. I traded that guitar for the next one I got after it and currently know where it is and may see if I can't get it back and restore it. This one was also a 10 top.
1997 McCarty originally Purple. I guess it's still technically purple but it faded to a nice almost pomegranate color. Under the knobs and bridge are still royal purple. This guitar was another special order as a semi-hollow without f-holes. This is also one of the nicest tops I've seen on a McCarty (in person at least) that wasn't a 10 top or ever meant to be. I like that it's old enough to still have the "McCarty Model" written in gold under the clearcoat but post '95 and have the coil split.
I have a multitude of other guitars (mostly teles) to keep these off the road and in decent shape that I won't go into detail here as it's the PRS forum unless specifically asked. Same goes for amps/effects/etc.
Hope this got the imagination all worked up!
