I agree with everyone regarding the feel thing. It's hard to identify/quantify what makes the feeling of a PS special, but it's not just any one thing to me. It's the whole package of the best premium woods, the best construction, the best luthier team, the best finishes, the best attention to detail, it's just everything. No guitar from any brand makes me smile and feel the way a PS makes me feel.
I must admit, as some chatter earlier, having Paul still around personally checking these guitars hold personal value to me. It's the current Stradivari ensuring his guitars are the best they can be and he still believes in them above anyone else. I just love that, and it will be a devastating loss when Paul is no longer with us. I feel lucky and fortunate beyond belief to be able to own/play these guitars. I could go on forever, and I realize I'm waxing poetic a bit, but I do mean what I say as they have been absolute treasure in my life. Love these pieces of wood, glue and metal
