I don't feel like a true PRS dude because I'm only sporting an SE at the moment. But I do like the internet and I check out this forum as regularly as anything else online. I'm really curious to see what everyone's jive is. McCarty seems really hot at the moment. Dare I say... "the flavor of the month". A few speak up for Santana and west street (some louder than others). I'm not into hollow and semi-hollow but I see those are a hot item. Can't say I have experienced the joys of korina backs or rosewood necks. Any talk of cocobolo goes right over my head. But I still love to read it all and learn more about those intricacies. My own wishes are mostly cosmetic because my experience with actual PRS guitars is limited to a few basic core models.
I say you can go the custom custom perfect private stock route with this answer, or something a little more simple - as long as you have a cool reason or something unique, I think its worth mentioning. Think of this as holiday story time around a fire.
Personally, I'm torn between the original PRS custom 24 and McCarty 594, but if I had to write down my wish for Santa...
I would go with a McCarty 594, autumn sky quilted top, with a satin neck BUT with a santana/west street head stock, ebony board, abalone birds, natural back and a better truss rod cover.
(Seems ripe for a "you'll poke your eye out" joke)
I don't think I've been good enough this year to get a tremolo with that 594 but a guy can dream...
Disclaimer: I hope no one is offended by the Christmas generalization. "Holiday wish list" just didn't sound as good.
