Let's use this thread for any PRS related NAMM info. Pics, videos, links or anything else you run across.

Will be updating this thread as I go. Hopefully there will be some cool things to share.
 
I am hoping for some new baritone guitars to be available. If anyone sees any, please post about it. Since PRS no longer has a dog in this market with the retiring of the Mushok SE, I feel like I can freely ask that any baritone from any manufacturer please be posted.
 
John, I found a Michael Kelly Patriot (the plain model, not the wanker tailpiece). After a half an hour, I was convinced that it was made at World Music Instruments. I took it to my luthier in Baltimore- Philtone Music. He used to work at PRS. He confirmed my suspicions. I had a bone nut put on it, changed the strings, and it's just great. It's a single cut, and very heavy. Has a great sound and excellent frets. Yes, I felt like I was cheating in marriage, but it was money well spent. Now I've got to play my old Mira so I don't feel guilty.

Right on, thanks for the suggestion! I should probably start a separate thread so this one doesn't get hijacked.

The new Carvin Vader headless 6 string is a 27" scale. Probably not your style but it looks cool to me.
 
My son has a Patriot Decree (his first electric before he got a PRS. The founder of Michael Kelly, Traey Hoeft, is a great guy,. He now owns Guruzs Media...among other business ventures.
 
Here is hoping for the PRS Banjo! C-mon, C-mon!:D

Yeah, that would be really cool. I play in a cover band and we get lots of work, but I also play banjo in a hardcore bluegrass band. I'm playing a very, very early Stelling Staghorn, from 1975 that my dad gave to me. he still plays and is using a RB-250. he won't give me any of his PRS stuff, so I had to go out and buy my own, which is how it should be :D. I would love to be able to buy him a Private Stock PRS banjo for his 65th birthday this year. That would totally freak him out. Not going to happen, but a nice thought regardless, and I would totally do it.

There are a ton of NAMM 2015 vids popping up on YouTube, just checked, but no PRS content yet.
I am sure The Tone King and others will have have some PRS coverage pretty soon.

You're in luck JB~! Reverend Guitars from Detroit has introduced two new Baritones @NAMM. One has a trem, the other a stoptail, both are using the next generation of humbuckers, the Railhammer pickups AND they're set up with a set of Baritone strings with a Plain G. I've ordered that new set from their website shop to install on my PRS MM Baritone. And they are a buck less in price per set than the D'Addarios I've been using too.
 
At the 6:03 mark of the above PRS video you can see the Vela and another electric in the background. It is in the dark where there is clearly seating and where they had a presentation of some sort. On another note, this Adam fella is not so sharp. Sorry to say, but he should be doing better than that.
