New (to me) CE 22 and Loving it

[ac15sam]

I just lost my PRS virginity and thought I'd share it with the forum!!!

I played them for years in the local music shop while I waited for guitar lessons. Now 15 years later I purchased my first one.

Loving the Dragon IIs and Wide Fat Neck. Switching is cool too.

I'm traditionally a strat guy so the bolt on maple neck is a friendly feeling.

Thank you! It wasn't until I let my brother play it that I realized just how gorgeous the carve pattern is on the top of these guitars.

Nice! CEs are definitely the way to get your feet wet. Welcome and enjoy the crap out of it.

That is one nice looking CE.

I wish there were more CEs to go play. I want to A/B one with my Mira.

That would be pretty sweet. Iowa is one of around 15 states I haven't been to yet. My grandparents on my Dad's side went to all 50 states and all 7 continents. I'm hoping to match that.

What can I say? I was young and foolish.

I'm realizing the frets need to be polished. I'll have that done professionally. But other than that its pretty much flawless. Installed my straplocks today. Stock screws appear to be same gauge as Dunlop Straplock screws which is nice.
