PRS Journey - So… it’s a bug….

[TheCraftsman]

So in March 24 I stepped into PRS with a 2008 Tremonti SE, blew me away.

Few days later jumped on a SE CU24-08 which I’ve added a Mann bridge, locking tuners to

Few months after that…. An SE Soapbar (1)

All wonderful instruments, I’ve done my own setup and fret finish on all …. But still …. I always was aching for a true Core piece..

I’ve just pulled the trigger on a piece that has cost more than the combined total of my guitars, I’m waiting (not patiently) for this to arrive.

These tools bring me inspiration and the desire to pick up and play fuels that creative side of me, I love to write, riff and jam and look forward to posting a New (to me) Guitar Day thread in the next 7-10 days.

Have a great weekend all!

Four PRSi in ten months?

Apologies for slacking, I don’t expect a seat at the big boy table anytime soon haha

As you e found out, the slope is slippery!

 

[Maertl513]

Once being convinced, you have turned to a real PRG OG.

There is a song in there somehow. Curious what the postman will deliver to your doorstep!

If I wasn’t so nervous about it I’d already have shared haha

“Just buy yourself one more PRS, and then you won’t feel so bad”

“Just buy yourself one more PRS, and the. You won’t feel so bad”

Oh yeah, that was the song

PRS played the long game on us. Planting the seed decades before he started his business. The rascall!

It's a lovely addiction ... I'm up to 15 Started with an 01 Mc Soapy .. the more you play the more you want another example of sonic perfection

 

[Headset]

Congrats on expanding your collection! I have a couple SE’s and I’ve played some S2’s. The core line plays the best without a doubt. You’re in for a treat. I’m looking forward to seeing what you snagged for your NGD.

Works for me……

When I started my PRS journey, I started with a (used) core, because that was my dream guitar: an Emerald Green CU24 with birds, 10-top preferably.

Within a year I had acquired 1 more core (Spruce HB Piezo) and two SEs.

That was 11 years ago.

Um, I might have maintained that average procurement per year overall now... I honestly don't know how many PRSi I have.

But my most three or four recent guitar procurements have been non-PRS, due to the uniqueness of those instruments not offered in the PRS lineup. And the last procurement was almost 8 months ago now. I still have GAS for a bunch of PRSi, but they are on hold while I spend my disposable income on other hobbies and saving up for other "adult responsibilities" (e.g. we'll need a new car soon enough...)

There is no big table... just a big tent. Welcome.

Congrats!

Cores are different beasts. At one point I had 4 SE's (returned one and sent another to a brother) and realized that for the price of all 4 I could have a Core. A pair of Cores and the SE's make a great combo.

Ohw, that is one great looking and spec'd guitar.

Pattern regular neck is a thing of beauty (to me). Great colour and top. You probably are going to love that guitar!
