I found a website where someone wrote an article basically saying that he didn't like PRS guitars because all the guitars on sale at GC and Sam Ash are the blingy, flame maple tops and what he really wanted was a real simple, players guitar with a classy vintage finish like a metallic frost. Here is the link: http://menga.net/why-i-dont-like-prs-guitars
I wrote him back and here is the response:
Is the return of the CE going to fix all this?
Howabout the S2?
Do we need the Standard-24 back?
I wrote him back and here is the response:
A few models have the two finish options of Champagne Gold Metallic and Frost Green Metallic. And example of this is seen here if you scroll way down http://www.prsguitars.com/custom24/
These are never seen in guitar stores. I have not one but three Guitar Centers near me (Tampa, Clearwater and Lakeland Florida) and a Sam Ash hub store (Tampa, FL) where the main guitar warehouse for a big chunk of what Sam Ash serves in the southeastern US, and no PRS's are ever seen in the two finishes mentioned above. You'd never know they exist unless you went to the PRS web site.
I would literally have to go to eBay just to get one:

...and that's just plain stupid. Whose fault is this? PRS's. They prefer to push the fugly finishes over the elegant ones, and wow do they take their sweet time getting stock into guitar stores.
Again, the build quality isn't in dispute. PRS already has classy finishes available. But they're just not delivering them to any guitar stores, large or small.
