That works for me. Paisley case though - curved, not rectangular
 
So far others’ dreams have been way better than mine.. :p

I only spec’d one PS, and luckily I used a tried-and-true recipe, so I knew what I was getting myself into, and besides, Paul Smith helped pick the woods!

My other PS and Core models have been runs that Paul Smith spec’d. I know zilch about guitar making. His job is to design and build ‘em, my job is to buy and play ‘em.

It works out really well. But I sure admire the guts of those of you who are willing to drop five figure money on your own designs! Out of my league for sure.
 
I have a lot of ideas, that's why I have never actually pulled the trigger. I find that I can usually be satisfied with a basic model that has been upgraded to an Artist Package, 10 top, or WL.

I would want the control layout to match my Dustie Waring CE24. I have a couple of CU22s with the 5-way blade, and I like the DW layout better. It's more "natural" for me having come from Jackson prior to PRS.
 
I already did.

Everything else is a fashion accessory now.

What is it about PRS guitars in Antique White that just look so elegant, simple, and beautiful?

There’s a white Santana 25th Anniversary that’s been up on Reverb but the guy won’t budge under $3500. A white DGT going for $2200 was gone in like two weeks. Gorgeous!
 
Not much of a metal guy and haven’t been able to play one in person but people keep mentioning the Dustie Waring control layout. Educate me please!
