What´s this, Mr. Tremonti?!

[Maertl513]

Controversity, indeed.

A few more pics to share from the same source:

I believe Mark likes what PSD made for him. And that´s the core issue.

I think it's badass !!!

 

[bretwomack]

I think the guitar is ugly.

How about that reverse headstock though? That's a first, right?

 

[Mixstar]

The main point is, what does it sound like?

I wanted to think logically about it like you but................that thing is so fugly I cringe just looking at those pics.

Looks a little like the Gibby RD Custom from the late 70s. A cross between a Firebird and an Explorer. I always had a soft spot for Explorer body styles. As long as it sounds good, I could own one of these.

We're all over the guitar, but I can't believe no one has pointed out the cheesy rock star face in this pic!

on the other hand, maybe the big grin is because this thing rocks hard :rock::rock:

 

[BigGingerGit]

yeah he's obviously enjoying it.

Anyone notice the left hand headstock ?

 

[sleary]

This reminds me of an explorer . I had one as a teenager. Now put a prs logo on it , Tremonti specs and geared for metal. I'm sold ,take my money now !

 

[CoreyT]

I like it, I would buy it.
I bet James Hetfield would rock it too.

I dig the idea of a radical shaped PRS big time, bit it looks unfinished. Like V1 of something where V4 is really slamming. I applaud the effort to go really outisde the box for them shapewise, and pray this is the seed of something much better to come.

 

[Maertl513]

The design is consequent: Longer horn at the treble side, therefore reversed headstock. I would love this guitar with a carved top.
It would be a good and new core line model with optional \m/ Bass and Treble and FR vibrato system (or PRS vintage with uprouting). Even variations with DGT pickups and Bigsby vibrato with a nice classical burst for vintage orientated players would be a suitable proposal.
Please PRS keep my suggestions in mind.

THAT part I love. The rest looks like a peavey.
Pretty cool that PRS is giving different body shapes a try. Keep trying, though. This one is cheesy.
Hmmm… how about, oh I don't know… ​V

Hmmm.. I love the firebird type guitars (and even explorers), but this looks so wrong to me! But if other people like it, that's cool.

Looks like it's a neck through body construction.

Edit: No, not really, when looking at the neck/body joint. But a bit when looking at the body itself.

From the look on Tremont's face, he's having a lot of fun playing it at a show.

And isn't that a big part of the whole point? After all, it's HIS custom guitar.

I'm sure he coudn't care less what a bunch of us cork-sniffers think, though as I said before, I like it.

 

[ViperDoc]

I want to know what the smaller knobs are for.

This looks like the illegitimate offspring of an Ibanez and an Explorer. All it needs is a monkey grip. :vroam:

All things considered, to have Paulh make you such a rebellious PRS custom is what I think is truly bada$$. What an honor. There's no doubt a guitar like that would be a novelty item for a relative few, but as far as PRS guitars go, it's metal as f^ck!

 

[G-Man]

wow is that ugly….
