What heck are PRS guitars good for anyway?

Jeff, your parodies today are proof that sarcasm is in fact able to be conveyed in this media (hey, I got it, Zerb got it, among others). Unfortunately, sarcasm, as it seems, is a lost art.

And I think think the PRS bash thread schooled the other threads. That wasn't even a contest. Next time some retard starts spouting off at the mouth about the inferiority of Gibsons, link to this thread. It's proof there's more dissent towards PRS!

So in essence...to answer the thread title, PRS are only good for taking the heat off Gibson or Fender in internet forum flamefests? :chairfall

They sure do cost a lot of money for the equivalent of:

First guy: "hey your shoes are untied"

Second guy looks at his shoes

First guy runs away

:laugh2:

I was actually pretty impressed when I played a PRS. Felt nice, sounded nice, looks nice.

If it had boobs I think I would've found my next girlfriend.

C'mon. Even the father of Western philosophy needs a mental break from the mundane from time to time.

I didn't know anyone was doing boob jobs on PRSs.

Know anyone on the West Coast doing these mods? Are they reversable?
 
Re: What heck are PRS guitars good for anyway?

I smell a new PRS marketing scheme! Boobs and guitars all in one! What more could a guy want?
 
Re: What heck are PRS guitars good for anyway?

that huge chunk of wood on PRS necks (where they meet the body) is offensive at that price point
 
Re: What heck are PRS guitars good for anyway?

Man, I hope they trademark that immediately so their competitors can’t get a hold of it. Can you imagine if Gibson started putting breasts on their guitars? Some would fall off, some would have two different sized breasts, some would leak, some would sag, some would be disproportionate, and despite all that they’d still be overpriced. On top of all that you’d have all the purists bitching about how the breasts on the Customs were too big and those on the studio were too small. Gibson would be all over the place with their boobs!

Oops, sorry Jeff, I think I got the wrong thread. :D

...And just IMAGINE what would happen when the "Weight relief holes" and "long tenion /short tenon" discussions start up :D

What about the Historic LPs. It seems you'd almost need a trossrod condom. BTW I don't think I'd want a Boobed Historic that was aged by Tom Murphy...

Electric Guitars Are Supposed To Be Cheap
That Is The Whole Point
If You Have A Guitar With A Triple Clear Coated Glowing Dyed Tiger Eye Emerald Finish Over Aaa Zebrawood Veneer You Are Being A Wanker And Missing The Whole Point

They Are Supposed To Be Cheap Because They Are Built To Rock. They Should Look Like Tools For Rocking.

I think we have a winner here. Wasn't the purpose of the solid body electric guitar to be a cheap way to portably play amplified guitar sounds in a band environment? Alternatives to that were spending an arm and a leg on a Gretsch, or Gibson ES hollowbody back in the 50's. Solid body guitars should never have gotten that expensive, thats why i refuse to shell out more than 800 bucks on any given solid body guitar, and why the telecaster rules. PRS=suck
