Wow I actually really like this. I'll wait till I get a bit older to think about it, though.

but theres that crazy little Tune-O-Matic showing his face by a trem again. :wink:

It's like a Mira with a tremelo. I can dig it.

Yeah, if it plays nearly as well as the Custom 22 I handled for a night a few years back I'd be interested.



Italia Maranello meets Gretsch Corvette maybe?

The only problem is we all need to hit 40, grow ponytails and become intolerable pricks before we can own PRS guitars.

I'm not totally intolerable yet. I like the SG/Hagstrom cut lines on it. Looks sleek and powerful.

Reminds me of, but not in a bad way, the old BC Rich Eagle--back when BC Rich was handmaded and one of the few boutique models out there. This model is an example of the crap they turned out later. I couldn't find a good photo of a 70s model. I am also not a fan of mixed woods.

Wow. PRS in good looking guitar shocker. Strange how the website still manages to make the straight shot of it look shit though. I think it's that side lit shot that shows off the curved edges that puts me off, and maeks it seem really PRSey.

I do love the Gretsch Corvette though, especially this one:

It looks a bit like a Gibson Sonex with the skinny little cutaway.

it looks like i'd need to move to a new tax bracket.

its pretty, but its still a prs, so i'm sure i can find the les paul rip off with a bigsby for $200 somewhere at a pawn shop
