I have one in Lime Green. I like the X because it's 22 frets with a wide-fat neck. They have a basswood body, sipo neck, and pau ferro fingerboard, which are not common woods for a PRS. They are also extremely light if that matters to you. Mine is 4.5 lbs!

I should be practicing right now.
I'll tell you about it in pink (font).
I have an '09 in Sepia Burst and it's very lightweight (5.5 lbs.!), comfortable, balanced on the lap or strap, and is very stable/solid tuning. It sounds WAY fatter than you would think a 5.5 lb. guitar would sound. In fact, it's sort of analogous to my Stripped 58 in terms of a beefy G*bson-ish sound. It also feels kind of fat because the neck is on the beefier side, but still very comfortable.
The stock "Mira X" uncovered pickups are fantastic--I have no desire to change them out. They're very much right up the alley of any PAF-ish AlNiCo V type pickup--they're very clear & expressive. This is one of my guitars that's always just SO fun to play.

It’s light as hell, a weird cross between a core and an S2 but still cool.
I would definitely get another one some day

On my search list, I had an S2 and was a ROCK machine!

They are a sort of precursor to the S2 series. One of the earlier attempts at a more budget-friendly USA guitar.
They also were 24.5" scale vs. the 25" used on Core and S2.

I’ll mirror that the neck profile, carve, and scale length make for a unique and rare combo for a Mira.
Mine was also incredibly light. I suspect the neck wood may be somewhat soft, my truss rod pushed through the heel into the neck pickup cavity. PTC to the rescue!

Mom always told me I was special
I got this Starla X for an crazy low price right during the holidays. It's definitely been played and loved as it has some heathy wear to the finish but it's such a nice guitar.I want to find one that’s got some love on it already and send it to my buddy to get it refinished in nitro aged TV yellow
