      I agree and I really tryed to let everyone know that my post was purely a topic of discussion on my part and just one's opinion..I don't dislike the PRS product whatsoever..It's just that the one I tryed wasn't for me really? Some guys like blondes,some brunettes...Is one better than the other? No.. The PRS guitars are some of the absolute best looking guitars to look at and maybe the one I played just wasn't "The One" I'd buy..No big deal really.

Those Hollowbody PRS's are nice, but I couldn't justify buying one when I could pick up a Hamer Newport for half the price. Same thing with the McCarty models. They're beautiful, but I don't think they play or sound any better than the Hamer models that cost half as much. Of course, Gibson and PRS guitars will always hold their value better than other brands, and that will factor into a lot of people's decisions.

        Hello Ryan..I haven't tryed the Hamer...As a lefty,I'm very limited as to what I can buy...I do have some very great lefty guitars though and I'm not pouting! I have quite the collection actually..

            I'm not sure what all the hub-bub is about.....as long as SOMEONE makes a Tele, I'm good!!!


            Actually, I have a policy: If it's over $1000.00, I don't touch it...so I've never played a PRS (not even that caca Santana or Tremonti B.S.). Many a fine guitar can be had for under a grand & I...personally...can't see paying the price for "perceived" tone. All of the guitars I've owner were under $1000.00 & they've suited me just fine.

              i've only handled a few...and have never plugged one in...

              they do have excellent craftsmanship...at least all of the ones i handled were...

              i gotta a feeling with a pup switch...i'd manage to have fun owning one...!?

              but everyone is different...different tastes...different hand sizes...different "ears"...?!

              if everyone played the same guitar...blah, blah, yuck!!!

                See this is one of the things that I don't like...Guys spend big money on a PRS and then have to put Duncan pickups into it! That is so wrong..If I pay this kind of money for an upgraded custom guitar,it had better rub my back at night when I Jump into bed! I'll stick with my ole strats,teles,Les Paul,and SG and suffer with those!

                      i've never been real wild about PRS's. i've played a couple and none that i have played have ever really stood out as incredible playing guitars. for every PRS i played, i found a gibson that played better. but PRS's sure are pretty though.

                              PRSi kick total butt. I've never played a bad one and I've played a ton of them. Sorry to weigh in late.

                                Norman,

                                After careful consideration, and a review of all the OUTSTANDING gear you have, I am going to have to ask you to return the Highway 1 strat. (LOL)
                                That is a damn nice looking guitar. I'm not a hollowbody fan, but something about the 335's intrigues me. I'd love to own one someday. You are truely blessed to own and have played some of these pieces of equipment. Hope you make it to the US this year....I'd love to meet you in person!
