The Missing Link - What do you need to make your collection complete?

[Prs Mods too]

Old EG and a single cut with the volume knob near the bridge pickup, whatever model that is. If they make them with a trem that would be awesome.

Well, functionally: yes, but I don't like the control lay out. Never use the tone control, scarcely the volume knob, however I like the classic PRS control configuration, esthetically. So, McCarty trem ;-)

You’re in luck, Rainbow Guitars has a few……

Definitely a Semi Hollow Mira and a Core HBII.

Oh, and a ME-V, and a Honey and that's all I need, swear!

The most recent Forum guitar that Hans designed.

What were the specs on that again...?

What were the specs on that again...?

Basically it was a white wash Santana with Paul’s Guitar pickups

 

[RickP]

Private Stock… seems I need to have at least one before I call it a day.

 

[Rider1260]

With the addition of the HB1 I just got I need something Santana shaped ( DC22 or Santana ) to recomplete the one of every shape PRS collection.
I also want a Dragon

I see people listing lots of guitars, or many that aren’t that much different. Honestly, if I get my Silver Sky sorted out, I think I’m done and set for single coils. One “need” I’ve avoided for a long time was for a short scale, thick body, single cut guitar. Going to 11tops house made that very clear. I still need want and love “that” tone. I don’t know for sure how, when or even IF I’ll ever go after one, but I really would love to have one.

And then, just so I fit in better here, I’d like a true hollow body PRS for those tones, and maybe another couple of models of PRS to fill some more narrow gaps.

Beautiful guitars.

Too bad I live on the other side of the big pond and one of those would set me back a lot more (about 25-30%) than the prices listes due to VAT and other levies. *big sigh*

 

[Black Plaid]

Oh, also probably whatever that new guitar Paul keeps teasing in his European Youtube interviews.

 

[Greywolf]

Koa Hollowbody Santana with Cocobolo sides , Pernambuco neck with Brazillain fretboard , Turquoise birds with pearl outline , coil taps

 

[Alnus Rubra]

I’m no collector. But just to get to jam on a certain crotch walnut Santana would be fun.

Whatchu talkin' bout, Willis?

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Starla.

 

[Gtrbldr]

Starla.

And that is a great guitar to finish your stash!

I’m kicking myself for not buying one when they were cheap and plentiful.

 

[Gtrbldr]

I can see that.

It's like Lay's potato chips, 'I bet you can't have just one!'

I've gone back and forth. For half the 50+ years I've played electric guitar, I've had only one guitar. Other times, I've had a few, but never more than 5 or 6.

Each situation has its pros and cons.

When I have only one guitar, I find myself thinking more about the music than the gear. That's a good thing.

Concentrating on only one guitar also makes me more involved with the nuances of the guitar. So I'm able to play a little more intuitively without having to think too much, my fingers know better exactly what to do and where to go, and I'm a better player when that happens. Another good thing!

If making music is the ostensible object, and I think it is, having more than one guitar becomes a distraction. I also find maintaining more than one instrument a nuisance.

And yet, I have a handful of guitars. I'd like to remedy that if I can figure out a way to fall out of love with all but one.
