saturn Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I didn't think I would be posting a NGD anytime soon, but here I am. My wife and I were coming back from a little day-trip to Rock Hall Md and we stopped in a town called Chestertown. There was a small music shop there and I decided to check it out while my wife went into a little art gallery. The place was about to close in 30 minutes, so I figured I'd just poke around for a few minutes and leave. A young guy working there talked me into plugging in this Squire Mustang they had on sale for $169. It was a decent guitar, but as I was playing it I saw this pretty blue PRS Custom 22 hanging on the wall right in front of me. It had a price tag of $1099. I commented that it must be an SE, but he said no. Made right up the road in Stevensville. Some old dude brought it in to sell on consignment. Just then my wife walked in and saw me playing it. She always liked the bird inlays on PRS and told me I should get it. It would be my Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary gift. When I saw that a nice Gator case was included, I reluctantly said "OK if you insist" . 😎 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Such hardship, but if she really insisted then you had no choice, I suppose! HNGD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been in their lobby to drop off and pick up my PRS amp for repair. Nice looking facility from the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
