What's your ideal 3-guitar PRS quiver within the current core line-up?

[JMintzer]

HB II w/Piezo
RW (preferably BRW) McCarty w/ 57/08s
DGT

 

[Brad Lawson]

DGT
MEV
Single cut 594 w/ soapbars

 

[Tosca]

I been thinking about putting a rotary in my green Santana.

I think the Santana was the first model with mini-toggles. Just sayin’…

 

[The Bird]

I'd probably go

1. Santana
2. McCarty 594 SC
3. McCarty

 

[Texsunburst59]

1) DGT
2) DGT Semi Hollow
3) Fiore

No current core models appeal to me, but there’s alot from pre-2012 I would love to have again.

 

[daa2202]

I really like my current lineup:
Signature Limited (stoptail)
Modern Eagle V (trem)
Myles Kennedy Signature

I also have a Modern Eagle 1. I love it dearly, but the other three complement each other perfectly for me. It probably says something that the first three are regularly out on stands, while the ME1 mostly lives in its case.

(Yeah, I know that the Signature and ME1 are not current models, but it looks like this thread has drifted away from the original idea.)

Imagined scenario: all of your guitars have been destroyed in an unfortunate smelting accident, but because you're a dedicated member of this forum you've been offered your choice of any three guitars from PRS' current core line-up so long as you remain loyal to the brand and keep them as your only 3 guitars forever. Which 3 do you choose?

My personal 3-guitar quiver would probably have to be:
1. Custom 24 (probably floyd)
2. Santana
3. Silver Sky

Might have considered an HBII piezo instead of the Santana for extra versatility, but the Santana is just so good. What are your 3?

For me it would be:
1) Custom 24
2) NF53
3) Special Semi Hollow

I feel like it would be possible to do anything with these guitars.

Seems I only have one “current” core model. It’s fitting, we’ve all been put out to pasture together.

Were I to buy three today, I’d try some I haven’t.
1. Special 22 Semihollow
2. DGT
3. Santana

I’ve accepted that, although most of my favorite players are single coil devotees, I’m a humbucker guy who likes a variety of HB tones.

 

[direwolf08]

I guess I already own it (my own personal ideal)!

1) Vela
2) Hollowbody II
3) Custom 24

Obviously, I would swap the SE line for core on the HB and Cu24. I would also maybe swap out the Cu24 for a Special Semi-hollow.

For those picking the 594, I am curious why the singlecut vs. the double. Is it just an aesthetic thing to look closer to a Les Paul or is there really much of a tonal difference?

I own an s2 10th anniversary 594 doublecut which I like quite a bit.

Love 'em both!

It wasn’t me, it was the guitar.

that's what she said?

 

[watelessness]

I don’t feel qualified to answer this question. I have not played a Santana or a DGT, and only a couple SC594’s

um, how is that possible? it's like, dude, under how many rocks have you been hiding?

 

[sergiodeblanc]

that's what Shaggy said?

FIFY

 

[DreamTheaterRules]

I don’t get out much.

 

[direwolf08]

FIFY

ZOINKS!

Oh wait, wrong Shaggy.

 

[RW64]

I only need two types of guitar:

McCarty (not 594)
Silver Sky Maple (it would be ideal if there were options for a 9.5” or 10” radius neck, sunburst finish and noise cancelling pickups)

 

[Glide-bpm]

I been thinking about putting a rotary in my green Santana.

6 way Freeway Toggle is pretty cool, too. Nothing against the rotaries, though!

 

[Greywolf]

Well ..now that it's actually out there the DGT Semi would be a great #3 .. the price is really about the same as a Nice special .. so ..

there's a guy here that's interested in my Walnut LTD ... hmmm ... very tempting . ..I may just weaken

just for grins .. here's a sample of another DGT semi ...
