So when do we get our 3/4 size PRS?

[Jaco]

We have SEs', S2s', Cores and Private Stocks - from student edition to custom shop - a range for evey stage from beginner ro professional. There is a jaw dropping PRS for every genre we could possibly want to play. Heck, we even have PRS electric and acoustic christmas tree decorations!

But we have no 3/4 size guitar to take on the road. No PRS to start our 9 year olds off with. Epihone, Squier, Jackson. These brands offer a 3/4 size electric of their most popular and iconic full size models. That's where we need to go to get a semi-decent electric peewee. Taylor GS Mini - take your pick of a number of options of tops and back and sides, with or without a pickup. But no 3/4 size Tonare ( and no - the P20 doesn't count. )

How long till Paul and co release that dinky Cu22? Or Tonare? Or both? Our favourite brand for a travel guitar or your youngster's first PRS.

Further diluting the line means longer build times for the other models (or compromising the build quality of the existing guitars). So please, no.

Lots of videos on the YouTube where kids are playing full size guitars very well.

Not only that but is seems to be a PRS philosophy that the guitars they build are worthy of becoming family heirlooms. Building a guitar which will become obsolete in only a handful of years does not seem to make a lot of sense.

I’m guessing there’s not been enough demand for it, or Paul thinks that niche is already saturated by others. They’ve introduced other models in recent years, so I doubt capacity to add one has been a concern. I wouldn’t mind seeing something like that, but aimed at pro/core players. Cheapening the line with lower quality instruments would be a mistake in my opinion, for what that’s worth.

I find a hollowbody makes an excellent travel guitar, and it’s light enough for a 9 year old to play. Stick a capo at the 4th fret if their fingers are too small for open chords.

Buy something you can keep, a Mira SE.

Although, I’d like to see the SE One reintroduced. Solid, cheap, basic but well made, mod-worthy= perfect starter guitar.

I’m 4/3 size, so a 3/4 size guitar would just look ridiculous.
