Paisley .... a polarizing subject?

[Tucson Thump]

I've been looking for a PRS 2x12 paisley cabinet to go with my 2-channel 50 H amp head. Haven't found one so I've been looking at paisley upholstery fabric to match the head, hoping to find it and cover another PRS cabinet. No luck so far but I've learned that fabric can be expensive.

However, when perusing so many photos other things tend to come to mind.

If you will, imagine that fifty years ago PRS was making the paisley amps. What would have fit the times better than this?

I think it is an outrageous statement myself, to the extent that I may find an older black PRS head and cabinet and do it myself. Complete with a tag on the back that would say "inspired by Sergio" I think.

On the other hand, something less bold but cool nonetheless would be to use this fabric.

Understated but classy.

Worn Bluejean to match your guitar?

I got super lucky, and got a paisley 2x12, pine with open back, locally for $300. Matches my Custom 50 with the exception of not having a flame maple faceplate. Would’ve preferred a closed back ply, but still pretty awesome.

Something to match the paisley case, no questions asked.

Yes, I missed a paisley 4x10 by not acting quick enough. On the lookout!

Oh, something period, like wide wale?

No. Houndstooth.

In my father’s era, a houndstooth sports jacket was a must in a wardrobe.

If you remember the 60's and 70's maaaaaan, you weren't there.
Why not add peace symbols and flowers too?
Then drop some matchstick acid.
Woah man, groovy!

Your Dad and mine thought alike...my first sports coat suit was a black and tan houndstooth from a place in our capitol city, Stackpole, Moore & Tryon, but I outgrew that in the mid-80's.

I made this to turn a head into a combo and covered it myself for maybe $20.

Pretend the guitar doesn't exist. These are the only pictures of the amp I have.

A motto I can live by ..

I think what your doing with the paisley is excellent! Good thinking.

All the flame top PRS players here must all wear pinstripes then?!
