Steve, yours are incredible looking. Unbelievably beautiful, actually. Mine...well, it’s plainer, but I wanted it that way so session players I do a track with wouldn’t give me that “You don’t deserve an acoustic that nice” look! At a distance, it just looks like a small jumbo whatever. Woods are maple and Adirondack spruce with ebony fretboard and other stuff. Obligatory couch shot: Back and neck; the figure in the maple is actually very even, the lighting reflections make it look uneven in this shot, and while that wouldn’t bother me, I don’t want you guys to think PRS made me a dog. The color is Smokey Blonde Smokeburst. I initially ordered plain maple, but the PS folks felt this would look nicer, and they were right.
Wow. I'm stunned by both of your acoustic guitars. Beautiful! I am going to assume they sound as good as they look?
I think mine sounds better than it looks, but as we know, beauty is in the eye and ear of the beholder. I’ve had quite a few high end acoustic guitars, and after nearly 6 years, this guitar still tops anything I’ve owned or played. I love it. My son has called dibs for when I get either too old, or too dead to play it. I hope that won’t be any time too soon.
In Victoria BC for the weekend My McManus PS - love the Cocobolo but I think this sounds better than it looks - like a Steinway Grand Piano. Better pic of the Bearclaw That back!
Yet another incredible guitar! Beauty. Funny you mentioned it’s like a Steinway; when I got mine and my son heard me playing it he said it filled the room like a Concert Grand Steinway.
A Tonare. Not your average back and sides. a scratched up top and a bit of bling and an Angelus - more details on April 30, 2015 PSF
