merciful-evans Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Almost, but not quite enough to tempt me back to PRS. Good to see this sort of development from them though. I do think its a bit weird having control recesses when there are no controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 A lovely work of art that sounds like a really good Martin Acoustic. Nice!!😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Remember this? This one was (and probably still is ) on ebay France for over £7.6k. But look at the control plate. Peerhaps the curve and the pic angle makes it look a bit off....??? Inspired by the Chet Atkins SST.

Twang Gang Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Pretty to look at but there are much better acoustic pickup systems now than a piezo. Without a deeper body though it probably doesn't matter what pickup is in it as there just isn't going to be a full rich acoustic tone to amplify. No volume or tone controls leaves you strictly relying on your amp to shape tone. And only $13,500 (yikes). I guess it was primarily designed to look cool, which it does, but to me it's a totally impractical guitar (not functional for performing) and cost a ton of money so no thanks. Another one of those "why do this" situations where the answer is "because we can". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 nice - I didn't watch the video, but if that would allow someone to play typical electric guitar solos etc in a great acoustic sound (and be a genuine step up from the Strat VG and the like) then I could see why they would do it. there would be people who would buy this if they can afford and justify the cost.

On closer inspection it always turns out be just 'overdone'; always crossing the line into tacky and garish. That's what such PRS guitars look like to me.

kidblast Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) $13,500.. let me get this right,, that is.. thirteen thousand... and five hunnerd dollars ?? yea,,..... no...! and.. I didn't think it sounded all that "Acoustic" either I'm kind of surprise the Taylor haters haven't shown up to to start crucifying this.
