I do enjoy a good curly flame top as well

This thread about PS wood figuring reminds me:

I've been fighting the urge to sell one of my current PS models to help fund a PS DGT, since that's been my jam lately, and I adore the tone I'm getting with the WL DGT in my little stable.

Anyway, I made of point of playing all three of my PS electrics quite a bit this past few days to figure out which one(s) I could get away with selling, but then fell madly in love with each one all over again.

The color of these PS models didn't matter; the figuring in the wood didn't matter, either (I have both flame and quilt). The feel and the tone of each one is unique and they all feel irreplaceable. Sure, I could get similar tones, but that ain't much like the exact same tones.

Does it make sense to take a hit selling guitars I know I love to buy another guitar I might love? Nah.

GAS can be a really crazy thing!
I’ve been on the other side of this bridge, I do NOT recommend it!
 
I have been thinking of thinning things down for a while now. The thought of reinvesting the money is a PS that I get to spec out is motivation to be okay with not getting as much out of my gear as I would really like to get.
I did a similar thing to fund my PS acoustic.

I probably didn't do the right/smart/sane thing. I sold an Artist Tonare Grand acoustic with a cocobolo body, ebony fretboard, and Adirondack top to help fund my maple bodied model. The Artist was certainly as beautiful-sounding as the PS; it even had the carbon fiber strength rods in the neck. I just wanted maple instead of Cocobolo or rosewood.

It would have been nice to have kept it. I'd have both.

Regrets? I've had a few...

I have sent pictures and specs off to a place to see what they will give me for two of them. That is the farthest I have made it to date. My other thought was trade them in to a place that could be the dealer for my PS build. I am not sure how many dealers do that.
I don't recall selling off any of my PRS Core electrics to get the PS electrics. If memory serves I spent some of my broadcast royalties to get them. It's possible I've forgotten.

However, I did some buying and selling of Core and WL models for a few years, one last year. I really just felt like trying a few things before settling on the DGT.

There is only one PRS in my "will probably sell" list. I have been thinking about a second one that I may be okay with selling. Right now, most of them are Hamer, Heritage, Gibson, Suhr and possibly and Anderson.
 
That is a great quilt top. For me, I would like it better if it were all blue, or, all natural like the center bottom. I am actually considering going natural if it has a top like that.

That’s the beauty of a PS build, you make it your own (within the rules).

I just love that tubular quilt and that it’s DGT semi-hollow. Just imagine the tones from that baby. One of us here doesn’t have to imagine, lucky bastid.;)

Honestly, I would stick with your wood library DGT
