Since you live in a "small European country", is it possible to hop across a border or two to get to one of the other European countries that do have PRSi available to sample, maybe make a weekend holiday out of it? Here in the US, if we don't have guitars nearby to try that we really want to sample in person, we'll drive to a neighboring state - maybe a 4 or 5 hour drive, and make a weekend trip out of it. Or do like my buddy, who stayed in Florida for his weekend trip, but drove a few hours to try out a couple of axes, one a PRSi (he ended up buying both guitars he was interested in!).
Well, I guess I'll have to arrange something like that, for sure. Regarding the PRS guitars, I mean. Parkers are notouriously hard to find, even in bigger european countries.
It's just that I live in Portugal, so we're right on the edge of Europe, mainly facing the Mediterrean and the Atlantic Ocean, with 50% bordering with Spain (which also don't have many shops with Parkers on display).
But I will definitely try a few PRS somewhere else.
The only ones I seem to find in this country are the SE line, and I have to say I'm not that impressed by those. Seemed to have a bit of a bulky neck and were kind of slow (although the dirty strings might have contributed somewhat to that experience).
