just got my first PRS....

[cookiemonster]

just picked up my first prs (ce22) on the bay for $1k (miles cheaper than you can get them for in the u.k.) the sound is amazing, lots of power and the trem isn't too bad for a non locking trem. the only thing i had trouble with was getting used to the neck radius (alot different from the ibanez and charvels that i usualy play!!!) it sounds like my old les paul studio toneally (quality woods??) anyway heres some pics ..

They pretty much play themselves - almost too easy - & a great sound (my mate just bought a singlecut, I had a quick play & now..........GAS!). Lovely guitars & that one looks cool! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Good price too.

Re: just got my first PRS....

yeah, the guitar cost me £550 (then another £180 for the shipping,duty and vat) to buy this guitar new in liverpool would cost you £2200 [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] as you can imagine i'm well chuffed [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

When you find a PRS you really like, you will never let it (or them) go. Problem is, it takes time to find one you mesh with....

Dude, nice guitar! That top is sweet!
I've got a CE24, and I love it. Luckilly for me, I only had to play a few PRS guitars to find the one I wanted (A bolt on, with dot inlays, wide thin board, and burgandy/purple flame top) I thought it was a Custom 24, but here, what I wanted was the CE24!! Saved some bucks, and got all the features of a CU24

(Only difference between CE24s and CU 24s are
You can PAY to have bird inlays on a CU.
CU has SET neck.
CU has 10 top option.
CU has different neck wood than the CE. CU has Mahog (I think) and CE has Maple.

I couldn't be happier I scored a PRS, and I'm sure you're feeling the same way. Enjoy that sweet guitar!

Re: just got my first PRS....

Sweet guitar, I like the color as well.

You know, for a while I thought there was no way I wouldn't like a PRS guitar. I would have to agree, to a point with Shawn, while most PRS guiatrs are flawless in the last three years I had to let go 2 of them.

First a SAS, I read so much about it, bought one and really wanted to like it but she and I could not blend. Can't put my finger on it.
Second, a CU-22 with a WT neck. I kinda liked it but there was something always missing. On this one I can tell you it was the neck, WF is the one for me and that is pretty much the rest of the story.

I think PRSi are THE perfect blend of Gibson and Fender, IMHO and tastes.
I am a strat guy and love strat heads, never and to this day don't like Gibsons. When I first saw a PRS I said "whatever"... played one and I was hooked.

Enjoy yours!!!
