My new favorite axe

by SkiOne from United States
March 5, 2012
Music Background: 33 years - semi pro
I received an email from Sweetwater advertising this PRS and was somewhat tempted. However the one they had shown was not for me, but I check it out anyway. Then I saw it, the red metalic finish, with... read more [+] a bigsby tremelo. I wanted it! Sadly they were out of stock. Later that day I got a call from my new rep and I took advantage of the "3 easy payments." Ordered it on a Friday got it on a Tuesday.

Unwrapping this guitar was very close to a spiritual experience. It has a solid construction and feels rich and inviting to the touch.

My first sound was hooking it up to my iPad AmpliTube app through a tascam iXZ while I was at work and piping the sound out of my logitech desktop speakers. Within just a few licks I had a crowd of people at my door wondering what sounded so good.

Bringing it home I plugged it into my Boss ME-70 and my Marshall combo and it was literally like butter. The tone was outstanding with the semi-hollow body adding a full rich warmth I was not expecting. The bigsby tremelo was really awesome and I prefer it over the strat style bar.

The neck, tuners and fancy cutaway (allowing you easy access to the highest frets are all really nice PRS extras that make this a super deal!

At this price point its hard to say no to a PRS, in fact its difficult to find one near to this price. I honestly think its worth MUCH more than what I ended up paying. This axe would do well with blues, country and rock but probably not a shredder type axe. close [-]
