I'm sorry, but that S-type PRS is SO HOT. I would DIVE for one of those.
....and like a Lemming, I'd follow you right off that cliff!

I suppose one could make the same argument about the SC594 and an LP. They'd both certainly have similarities to their inspirations, but PRS will always apply their twist.
I think it would have to hit that price to be competitive. For that money you can get the Fender American Elite or a Suhr Classic Pro. Or to John Beef's point, if you're handy you can self-build something to your personal taste and still have beer money left over.
Yeah it would have to be exceptional to compete with Suhr.
The question for me is......does prs roll out new pickup s for this new modelI have no concern that, if it were to become a model, it wouldn't be exceptional. But it wouldn't be a clone of one or a "me too" of the other. It would be a PRS with it's own vibe. Again, I feel it would be a rethink of the EG. It's been done 7 times now. They would have to have some reason to think it would take off this time.
What gets me mostly interested is:....and like a Lemming, I'd follow you right off that cliff!
What gets me mostly interested is:
1) Who made those S-type pickups?
2) Is the trem unique and PRS made?
3) The neck is not left-handed. It's completely offset with a new asymmetrical headstock. And it's MAPLE.

I don't mind paying slightly more than CE prices if PRS upgrades the birds from the mother of countertop (thanks Sergio) currently used in the S2 and CE range. SE birds or dots would be preferable.
Really? My kitchen countertop looks way better than my SE plastic inlays.
I unfortunately read the TGP thread about this guitar...lots of hate for both PRS and Mayer. It's nice to come here and have my mind cleared out a bit.
I'm not much of a single coil guy and already have a 305 for those needs so this wouldn't be on my radar but I still like it. And to throw a few more thoughts on the core/s2/SE debate, why not all three? They could throw a flame maple top on for a core version, that might even get me excited.
I'll take a blanc one with a mirrored pick guard and a maple neck, please.
I would bet the pickups are made by PRS, specifically with this model and with input from John, and same with the Trem.
I would also bet that the headstock on a Production Model would be the standard PRS headstock, that this prototype had a left handed neck on it to be silly, like an upside-down Jimi Hendrix thing going on.
I just got a NOS 305 and I dig it, but sign me up for one of these as well!
It's not a lefty headstock. Look at the offset tuner placement and asymmetrical throat curvatures at its base. It's a totally new header.
