EVOL! Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Sorry, not me. When I was younger I wanted a PRS so badly. They look like works of art. Then I played one. Just did not feel right. Same with Ibanez guitars. Have yet to play one that I liked, especially the Gem like ones with the wide string spacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I cannot get into PRS, I just can't...which is good, that eliminates one source of GAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I love that body style. My PRS won't replace my Gibsons but I'll definitely buy a few more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I like PRS but this one does nothing for me. I'd still like to play it and hear how it sounds and see how it feels ~ I might change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillybilly Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 no thanks. only played a few single cut PRS guitars. fit and finish was top notch. but the guitars always felt like they were trying to be a LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwness Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have had my PRS's since the mid 90's and they are my go to guitars. The 305 is just another great example of the guitars PRS puts out. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSG_Standard Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Nice! Is PRS making good deals on their axes right now? They are trying to pay for their expansion into acoustics and amps...My personal favorite was the McCarty Soapbar...which they no longer make.

DeVeeWee Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 PRS's not my first choice but that is a hell of a guitar, that finish and pickups, wow! I like wood finish, my 2 gibbies had to shine wood, and they're not letting me down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I have a PRS Custom 24, and I love it! Couple friends of mine have been gigging with them for a solid decade. They leave all the Les Pauls and Strats at home because they don't need 'em anymore to nail various tones. Now, here's where the ugly truth comes in. As great as they are, they still DO NOT replace anything else I own. I actually don't play mine as much as I thought I would. I keep telling people - when I want a Les Paul sound, I grab a Les Paul. When I want a Strat/Tele sound, I grab a Strat or a Tele. Is the PRS well-made? Absolutely. Are they great players? God yes. Are they beautiful? Stunning. For the same price, get a pair of killer Fenders like an American Standard Strat and an Ash or Deluxe Tele. I would dare say you will have as much fun finding classic single coil tones that way. Of course, PRS builds a damned fine guitar, so I dunno, but that one doesn't move me. Now the Hollowbody II, the Archtop, anything they built with P-90's - different story altogether....

Wrench Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 While I can concur that PRS have fabulous build/action, they just dont do it aesthetically for me. Its probably one of the hardest conceptual ideas in the world - to design a modern guitar, given what they have to follow - and while they have done an admirable job, no amount of AAA maple cap will compensate.

Tim Plains Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 ^ the body is basically a combination of a LP & Strat body, then modified a bit. Paul said it in an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Sorry guys but look at Custom Shop Strat prices. Who in their right mind would pay more than $1,000 for a bolt on neck? At least this PRS has a proper neck joint...not to mention the quality and tone of a PRS is better. Just sayin... It already drives me nuts how people compare PRS guitars to Les Pauls or Strats and just because this 305 has 3 single coils, doesn't make it a Strat. By that logic, anything I see with two humbuckers is trying to copy a Les Paul. It's the familiar PRS body shape with three single coils, that's all. No, I'm not a PRS convert/defender but the way people compare them to other guitars is retarded. Thunder, I was browsing youtube and came across these. Thought I'd post them for you.
