Not a PRS but I do have a new one and amp incoming this week so it is not all bad. I got in today a new EVH red/white/black stripes guitar that is absolutely badass! I have been a VH nut since forever and this fills a GAS bubble that has been brewing since 1980 or so. Didn't hurt that I got a 150 off deal through GC.

pics to follow as I just got home but had to shout out about it. Initial reaction is fit and finish is surprisingly good, can't wait to plug er in! :rock:

Cool! I've been eyeing those! It would be nice to have something with a Floyd in the house to play "once'n a while".

HNGD!

Rock'in the Floyd Paul................... I like it!

 

[phillybri]

Damn! I'm dying to get a black and yellow EVH striped. I hope it plays as well as it looks!

Since it did not come with a case or gig bag somehow I dont mind it being my leave it on the hook beater. I seem to play more when I dont have to pull one out of the case and I cant get myself to hang a 'good' one on the wall. So much fun to make stupid noises with the Floyd too. Keeper, although I may have to swap out the pup for a hotter one.

Nice addition. I've come close to buying one. Simple rock and roll machine.

Very cool - I'm jonesing for the black and yellow one. That will have to wait until after Experience.

How does it sound in the mirror?

You KNOW I rocked out in the bathroom!

Funny thing is i always tune up to standard 440 but for this I tuned to E flat for the first time and man if it didn't sound like VH, KISS, and all riffs sound right for the first time ever. Not sure why I waited so long to try that?

I still wanna send an SAS to the PTC for a EVH Frankenstein mod (with Floyd).

Wedge!!! I am sooo close to pulling the trigger on one of these. Can you give me any reasons not to?????

 

[WEDGE]

Not really.....I love my PRS's but this thing is fun! Plus for some of the old school stuff it feels right to play it on a full 25.5 scale length guitar. Besides if you grab one and don't like it it would move in a minute.

There's one of these hanging in my local guitar store. I keep looking at it... Big money though. Around $2,500 (NZ). I think that's about $40 US...

I nearly bid on a Peavey EVH last week. Got to keep off those auction websites. Got a Goldtop Les Paul Deluxe landing next week. It only takes a beer and a mouse.

I always wonderd about guys overseas or living one exotic places....can't you just order from the US and pay shipping, has to be cheaper than buying local?

I can't believe how cheap stuff is in the US comapred to here. Be it Harley parts or guitar stuff. That said, we pay shipping and duty and a fixed tax on both (a tax on a tax in effect) so you don't always win. I order Harley parts direct from the US as I resent the huge mark-up of the local dealer. Books I get from bookdepository.co.uk as even after being shipped half way around the world they still reach me at half the local prices (and I include local online prices in that - the physical stores are even more expensive). Govt. here is going flat-out to try to tax all online sales as they now want their cut.

Want to shift to Australia within two years. Food prices and tax here (feel like a one-man welfare system) are *****ing me off.
