So this is a question for which my answer has wavered constantly.
As a Gibson Les Paul convert, my initial answer was the SC594 which I got 5 years ago. Still an amazing guitar with the sustain and 58-15 LTs being the standout elements but over time my tastes became a bit more err...PRSish.
Then came along the 513 and blew my mind. That was my answer for the longest time and till today, I consider perhaps the only guitar one would ever need. The 513 and a Line 6 Helix is the ultimate minimalist functional dream.
A few years, a few guitars later, I got a 24 fret Modern Eagle V, and it felt like the natural evolution of the 513. I still go back and forth between the two, as while my MEV is ultra special, there is a magic about the braz necked 513 Rosewoods, which are current and future classics.
Then finally of late, particularly for my band practice, I have been favoring the Custom 24 piezo. Practically, from an audience POV, the only guitar you need for live performances as it does great approximations of every guitar tone you can conceive. And the approximations sounds musical as well, especially after the TCI magic
So I am utterly confused. What is the one PRS you think that can rule them all? And I know the answer is, just get more PRS's
