  • A couple of new PRS' in Tampa

    More and more PRS are the theme around these parts these days. I know they arent for everyone, but they sure are for me. I love my Charvels, but I have to be in a certain mood to play them. The PRS and Fenders call my name all the time.

    First is a PRS "Experience" custom 24, a joy to play and hear, made to commemorate the invitation only event they hold at the factory in September. What a great guitar. Special color is "Calypso Green". The guitar also came with a catalog signed by all the PRS artists by hand. All for about $2600. Compare that to a Charvel value.



    I missed the event this year as I was up in Atlantic city seeing Vai, but acording to reports of the other attendees, I should have gone to Maryland.

    All of their artists were there and played a kick-ass concert. This isnt a Charvel bashing thread, but its really something to be a fan of a guitar company that really gives a shit. I know Joe,Mike and a few others that went, I should have taken the opportunity. I wont miss next year.

    Second is a "Wild Mint" Mira, one of their newest offerings. I actually have another,with birds in powder blue inbound from PRS as well. These Mira's are pure goodness. Alnico,Slash tone for days and so comfortable to play. Also has an SG type scale, so moving around on that fretboard is no problem.

    The Mira will be one of their biggest sellers ever when its all said and done. I played 5 of them, and they were all winners. Awesome RnR tones. Give one a try.

    nice guitars shawn.
    i like the mira except for that ugly pickguard.
    you think they'll make one rear routed, without the pickguard?
    anyway, congrats on the pickup.

      The Mira takes some time to grow on you lookswise. Reminds me of old school LP juniors, but once you play it, you'll forget it even has a pickguard.

        Wow. That green one is quite nice! Love the zebra pickups!

        I love PRS's. Hard to find a real dog with those. I have my custom built Standard that I love to death. My best guitar hands down...

        Nice additions!
        I'm angry because you're stupid

          Nice PRS's Shawn. I've got my eye on a SC250 along with a Mira. Actually I'm going to check out the Mira on Saturday.

                    As usual, you've got the coolest stuff around, brutha!

                    LOVE the color on that Experience PRS. And I think the Miras look pretty cool with the pickguard. I'm gonna try one out based on your reviews here.

                    Now I'm salivating for that Modern Eagle that's headed my way....

                      Tommy, I really think youre gonna love that Modern Eagle. Maybe not, but it wont be because of tone or feel.

                      Rosewood neck PRS' are the bomb diggity.

                            Those are cool axes Shawn.

                            I did not bond with the Mira. I fiddled with it at The Experience and once locally and still feel the same. I dunno.... maybe time.
                            When Mike and I saw them we thought oh!! a PRS mated with and Gibby SG how about that?!
                            I recognize the market they are aiming and PRS is rarely wrong. Paul is so damned conservative it's not even funny.

                            The PRS that I REALLY liked while there was the Johnny Hiland and not a bad endorsee at all. That fatboy outplayed "everyone" there and that sing just screamed in his hands.
                            Hope to see you there later on this year!!
                            Mr. Patience.... ask for a free consultation.

                              Shawn, nice pic's. Nice guitars. They look like they should be in the next PRS catalog. I miss the pool (background) though.
