Got an order in for a SS SE that hopefully will be here in a few weeks and then I’m also waiting on my modern eagle V to be built.
I got a heavily modded 2004 SE Cherry Red soapbar II just before Christmas (Tonerider humbucker at the bridge and a black scratch plate fitted)... it was my first foray in PRS ! I was stunned at the quality and playability and sound but slightly miffed at the mods. Even if I restored it, there would be screw holes all over it. Then just after Christmas I got a deal on beautiful 2018 Bernie Marsden in deep cherry (only 100 made for Europe), again a stunning guitar , again both pups replaced with Tonerider TRH2 (trade off is single coil tap for no tone function)...but there at least it came with the original pups in the gig bag (jury is out whether or not to put them back in)..Sooo Jonesing and looking around I found a 2005 Soapbar II maple in green in the UK and have decided to buy that and compare and contrast with the other soapbar ...Either the first soapbar goes, the second get flipped, or the '78 Ibanez MC300 moves on and I have 3 SE's on the wall...I'll post some pics when I'm allowed...
When the right West Street Limited comes along (Like maybe Bodia's Red one) - I'll be all over it. Go Figure
as soon as I'm allowed to post...Would love to see the Bernie......Just picked up mine around the same time....awesome Gtr so far but I haven't op'd out for new pups yet......
Congratulations on the new guitars. You have already discovered the slope is indeed slippery!
We’d all love to see some pics of your harem, when you can, unless you have already shared and then I’ll keep schtum.
Don’t rule out the humble NF3. Probably the greatest overall guitar ever!Studio circa 2011 want to really see what those narrowfeilds can offer up.
Thanks, while I can’t comment having never played a NF3 I believe your assessment. For me the greatest guitar ever built was and is The Custom 24. I pretty much base all my various guitar choices off that formula. Yes I do own a Strat and Tele but basically for me it’s a mahogany set neck guitar with a mahogany neck and rosewood or ebony fretboard just my personal fave. I do have a recent CE-24 with of course is a bolt on maple neck and that’s about as far as I want to stretch that experiment. Love the guitar and it’s sonic offerings btw. I know the guy’s & gals that own SS, NF3 and Fiore’s love them and to me that speaks for the dedication of Paul and company for there dedication to the guitar building craft. Oh and I need to learn how to spell narrowfield correctly lol. Thanks KenDon’t rule out the humble NF3. Probably the greatest overall guitar ever!
Nice!Been stalking a PRS 594 Hollowbody II for a couple of months. Finally pulled the trigger. Will post NGD when it arrives.
