New to PRS - Happy & Frustrated

If you can see green in it, it’s health food in Chicago!

Sweet! Thanks to that neon green relish, hot dogs are officially health food in these parts!

Would!

He keeps going back for more!

....... cause there's no dressing. Besides, with that much mayo already in his system he's so stark raving mad he'd take your finger off. It's a pandemic amongst the animal control field.

While I agree, I wish that PRS would have never gone the SE/S2 route. It cheapened the brand to me. The US line is awesome if you can find what you want. This PRS Archon is amazing though! That's why I'm here. He got my attention with this (even though he apparently doesn't like the amp??)

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I'd have to disagree, it made the brand more accessible to people who can't afford a 1k+ guitar and some of the SE's are better quality than Gibson's...

I honestly thought I’d never own a PRS, because of price, but because of the SE line,WOW , I’m a fan. In the last 4 months I first purchased a SE Santana model.
Just love this guitar. Then a local store got in a SE Bernie Marsden and I managed a trade and it has become my number one. Now I’m mainly a bass player ,when Gigging, so I found an SE Kingfisher on line,used, ordered it in.it arrived 4 days ago and I haven’t stopped playing her. Yeah I’ve been Gigging in cover bar bands, for 44 years,I own 24 guitars and Basses. I just wish these SE’s had been around way back when. I’m not going to sell off my others but what a new tonal pallet. Someday I’m might even figure a way to own a USA made PRS.

So to start with something related to the OP:

Companies get into trouble doing things they're not good at.

As already plussed up by others. I have seen up close and personal what happens when a company decides that there is some new sexy market to pursue, and worse still, abandon their old market because it isn't headline grabbing, despite being lucrative.

And yeah, PRSh is a passionate guy, and sometimes his personal preferences are stated with exuberance. Fine by me, as long as PRS keeps making equipment I want to buy - sometimes it is the stuff he is really excited about, sometimes it is the stuff that he is not so chuffed about.

Now, going a bit sideways:

bet that mayones plays like miracle whip.

i think the world would love it, not having to eat miracle whip.

Mayo is the root of all evil.

My wife and I agree that Miracle Whip is verboten in this household. It's not mayo, it is "salad dressing".

OTOH, Hellman's mayo (Best Foods mayo west of the Rockies, apparently) is the only mayo we use. All others fall short, and have far less flavor in our opinions.

Though my wife puts it on pretty well every sandwich, whereas I am much more selective: I do not mix mayo and cheese (nor mustard and cheese) on a sandwich, it is just one of the three: mayo, or mustard, or cheese. And mayo does not go with salami or roast beef or pastrami or ham, but does go with bacon for a BLT, and also chicken, turkey, tuna, salmon, or veggies. My wife puts mayo with every sandwich filler, as far as I can tell. I'm not sure which one of us is the weirdo: her for being universal in application, or me in having very specific pairings.

My sister much prefers Miracle Whip. She always was the problem child.

What were we talking about? I'm hungry now.

I have every level of PRS and am VERY glad they make at every price level. I’m looking for different sounds in a quality instrument. I could give a rat’s ass about cache or price. I want something that thrills me to play. All the way from my SE Singlecut up, I have instruments that make my pulse quicken a little and give me a thrill to hear. Paul has to make for the player as well as himself. He may not like the Archon, but he makes it and it sells. In musical terms, we all have to make the dough-re-mi to get fa in life.

Yeah, it'd be a good use for that stuff.

It makes good floor cleaner.........and I’m in Maryland below the Mason-Dixon Line. It’s Dukes mayonnaise or go home. Dukes also mixes well with Old Bay.
