walterlane Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Does anyone have a PR-200S, long discontinued, the S standing for, of course, solid top? How does it sound? As stated before, I have a PR-200; it has a select, meaning laminate, top. Of course solid tops are always preferable; but I'm just wondering if, in this case, if really makes all that much difference.
zombywoof Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I thought the "S" was for sunburst or satin or something.
walterlane Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 I thought the "S" was for sunburst or satin or something. If I recall correctly, the S in PR-200S meant the solid top model as with the current model AJ-200S which also has a solid spruce top.
pszy22 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I'm pretty sure the "S" did stand for solid top. I have a PR-350S, I know it has a natural colored top, which appears to me to be made of solid wood.

pszy22 Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 No complaints from me about the way it plays or sounds. Unfortunately I'm not very good at being able to describe the way a guitar sounds. I can't say it's the best sounding guitar I've ever played, but it's also far from being the worst.

I can't say it's the best sounding guitar I've ever played, but it's also far from being the worst. Found a video on the PR-350s. Not best recording scenario but good enough to provide a pretty good representation of how the guitar sounds in general. I thought it sounded pretty good: I'm looking for a video of the PR-200s. Found some on the PR-200 but not the solid top version yet. P.S: Might be a little name confusion going on with this thread of mine. Epiphone changed the PR to DR some years back and its possible I've been thinking PR-200s when I've should have been thinging DR-200s. However, I'm still kinda sure there was a PR-200s. I've found videos on the DR-200s; here's one:

walterlane Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 Have you seen this - http://epiphonewiki....x.php/PR-Series I've looked over that page before. While looking again just now I spoted a slight detail that needs correction: it says PR200 had satin finish but mine has a gloss finish. I did not see a PR200s listed so maybe I am misremembering this, but its possible a model is missed in listing. There have been so very many.
