New PRS for the "retro' market?

i got as far as him saying "old guy guitar" and "it's kinda hip". then he started playing again.

*shudder*

+1.

It looks okay, probably the most appealing PRS to me. I think a b-7 would look nicer than a b-5 on that guitar.

Still prefer the SE One with single Soapbar and wrapover. Never really liked Bigsbys.

PRS can take the legitimacy away from nearly any genre or style.

It sounds OK, but it looks like ASS.
It looks like the old Gibson L-5S solid bodies that all my friends had in high school because they wanted a Gibson but could only afford the dodgy 70s shit.

My favorite PRS:

In this color. Lightweight, cool P-90 sounds (little weak, but oh well), and plays very well.

I still would never buy a PRS because of all the terrible associations with the late 90s, when EVERY SHIT BAND had a PRS and Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier.

Do you think that way because it is a relatively new brand?

As far as I can tell, 2 types of people play PRSs.
1. Puddle of Mud, Nickleback, Creed, Sum 41, etc.
2. Old hippies who say "hep" and "cool" every 6th word

Add to this Jimmy Buffet and you've got a cauldron of vapidity.

They're not bad guitars, but it seems only shit musicians play them (or are at least seen with them).

im not a fan of.....
the headstock
the inlays.
the body shape.
the pickguard shape.
the color combo.
and finally.
the old fucker playing with that doesn't really tell you anything about the guitar rather than.
"sounds good, its mohogany, single coils get kicked up"
it'd be nice to know what kinda amp/effects he was using and whats on the inside.
for future reference, a simple clean amplifier will showcase the guitar more than a digital proccessor, please let these demo's be a lesson.
everything sounds the same thru digital behringer effects.

I dunno, i like and respect Steve Craddock, Alex Lifeson and Carlos Santana but i dislike all those you mentioned. Thing is, they make some great guitars, and the usual designs are quite easy going. Its not like BC Rich. If association to shit musicians was an issue for me i would never touch a Fender again in my life.

hahahaha!

I like it.

$1,736.00

I haet it.

bad and wrong.

that pickguard shape is like...

and plus...

ugh. i hate it.

i don't wanna talk about this guitar anymore.

The Mira isn't new by a longshot, but it is the only guitar PRS has ever made that I would be remotely interested in.

I LIKE VERY NICE

Agreed. Anyone who thinks it's ugly is clearly not an Aesthete, it's the prettiest thing PRS has ever made (because it doesn't have ugly figured maple wank)

Totally, the only PRS I've ever remotely wanted is the Mira.

with all due respect.
i like a nicely figured piece of wood.
ALTHOUGH, i appreciate it when its used right.
for the most part its not used correctly.

With some P90s it would be even more attractive.
