Hearing and seeing it made me put it up to par with Strat or LesPaul (it was more of a passive experience though, the only instrument where I have some mileage on is bass).
I have one PRS and it's an very well made guitar. The quality is way up there. For some reason, it never became my go-to guitar. I like the way it plays and sounds. The only knock I have against them is that the finish is so slippery it's nearly impossible to practice with it sitting. It just slips around too much. I tried a PRS 22 at a store and I almost dropped it ,because it slipped off my knee.

I have an '89 PRS that was my main guitar for a really long time. To my ears it is a great sounding guitar but in fact so rich and full that it doesn't actually mix well with other guitars. Most of the beauty is the subtle overtones and those don't cut through a mix well.

Most guitarists I see with PRS's are the only guitarist in the band, and they sound great, but when I take mine to practice I either drown out the other guitarist or he does me and its just not a good mix.

I'll have to take another look at some other PRS models. The quality is so good and for the dollar, no one else comes close to the finishes they do. It's just a matter of finding the correct model. They make too many different guitars.

The ES-175 arrived. It's nicer than the pictures show it. Can't wait to get home this aft and plug it in.

I had the luthier at Daves set it up and he did a nice job. The action on this is very good.

I enjoy the hunt, but in this case I think I will enjoy playing it much more. :)

That is VERY nice. I love the figuring on the wood. I am guessing it's full hollow from the single cutaway and the trapeeze tailpiece.

Probably sound amazing through a nice warm tube amp, 12" speakers and a little it of spring reverb.

Just got done playing it with 63' spring reverb. It does sound amazing. I'm very pleased with this guitar.

I don't know how they do it but a Gibson always feels like home. I go nuts comparing 2 of them and just end up wanting both.
