Let the battle begin! Our first round will pit TEN amazing PRS axes against each other. As in Thunderdome, 10 axes enter, one axe leaves! It's gonna be brutal. Please apologize to on my behalf to wives, girlfriends, and children whose mortgages, dinners, and college tuition fall prey to the gas this can cause. TAke a deep breath if you - don't see this much awesome in one thread usually. Poll closes Friday night at about 9pm Eastern. So - for your viewing and voting pleasure...

Mine is just a plain yellow guitar with vinyl sticker tape on it.
The Mojo back story is growing better every year.
Paul says the new models have a new nut material and the capacitors are installed differently to remove that "Dark Tone".
He offered to upgrade it but I declined...as I like that "Dark Tone".
She's dark and fast.
She eats LP's for breakfast. OM NOM NOM NOM


*Thanks to Aceman for working the photo in as I have recently run out of personal space in the Mojo.

*PS...That is Mr. Paul Reed Smith holding my guitar.

#4 Ascension's Blue PRS that color is sweet. Any of them could have gotten my vote though.

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Poll#1 PRS

Well, of the ten, I have personally eliminated two from my final selection. I will say I am NOT going Modern Eagle.

I always like to approach my selection from "Which one would I rock" the most...

Black SC for me.

Is it just me or are not all the pic links working?

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Poll#1 PRS

If I was recording I'd want every one at my disposal but I'd most like to try Phil's. Those three soaps are intriguing.

I voted #6: Ultra Flame.

I think the inconsistent photo hosting / posting hurts the objectivity of the poll.

Please, please, please use a reliable and standard photo hosting and posting method like imgur.

I will be making an announcement regarding pic formatting, and welcome direct PM/Email/reporst whatever to get your pic up.

Clicking on the attachment will get you to the pic though.

I'm a bit stunned that no one's voted for Phil's. I came very, very close.

 

[Aceman]

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Poll#1 PRS

I may vote black or Ultra flame....

But I think I would totally dig owning the Seafoam or Triple Soap

Korina baby! Beautiful. They're all good looking.

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Poll#1 PRS

If Puddin wasnt there I would go for the Black Single Cut or the Natural.

 

[Aceman]

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Poll#1 PRS

We got Korina, Natural, flame, quilt, all flavors and push ups too!

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Poll#1 PRS

All of them great guitars to be sure, in the end though I decided on Ascension's Blue PRS, I just can't resist that top in that color!!!

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Poll#1 PRS

I had a tough time choosing between the two black ones, they are very good looking guitars!
Voted for the single cut in the case.

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Poll#1 PRS

I'm a bit stunned that no one's voted for Phil's. I came very, very close.

Man, even I didn't vote for my guitar with the lineup posted!

On a separate note though, and I hope this really isn't perceived as anything else than an observation, but : I find it very interesting that the most common criticism of PRS guitars is that they are too pretty, when PRS guitars get compared, those who become crowd favourites are (usually) chosen based on the quality and figure of the top, and the colour. Most will say they prefer a ''player's guitar'', but those flame and quilt maple tops sure can turn heads! With that said, I'm glad to see the Seafoam doing so well! Unusual, yet striking!

I voted for the black single cut. It's a stunning piece, and I'm not shy to say that I'm a sucker for a wicked looking top and some fancy inlay work!
