I just made a trade for this PRS Singlecut. This is absolutely THE nicest guitar I've ever owned. I've owned USA Strats, and Non Historic/Custom shop Gibsons, and the craftsmanship and finish of this guitar just blows them away. I've never been able to afford a guitar over 1000 bucks before and heck, I've only got the Z I've got cause I started with a Ghia and kept selling a few different models to get to the RXES. I'm almost shakey holding this:) Thanks for letting me share some excitement. I wish I had a better camera, but I'll try to get a little better shot tomorrow. Travis

And I'll bet a better guitar value wise than some Lester's out there right now which to me seem overpriced as well as hit and miss quality/build wise . Nice guitar and yes I am a bit PRS biased as you can see in my sig lines ;D

Congrats on the new PRS...fine looking guitar and I'm sure its a great player. Love those single cuts and especially in a natural/vintage flame-top ...Bentop has a sweet looking one also.
Happy playing

Nice. PRS guitars are some of the most consistently well-made out there. I'm also fond of the 25" scale length as it gives a little more clarity than a 24.75" scale length, but still retains that punch.

What a beautiful PRS! That's pretty much how I'd get a PRS if I was ordering one made-to-order.
The PRS wide-fat is probably the most comfortable neck I've ever played-- just feels perfect for my hand size and short fingers.

Wow, that one looks almost exactly like mine! The four knobs give it away as a pre-lawsuit model. After the lawsuit cleared, they went to either two or three knobs, if I recall. Very cool guitar, but the bonus is how it sounds with the RXES. Mine just RAWKS! Here's mine:

Thanks for the comments guys. I've still barely played it with everything going on right now. But I've got practice later this week.
Hey Benttop,
I've seen yours before. I thought it was real nice looking. Yours has a better top than mine though. Oh well I can't be to picky for what it cost me:)
I traded a (non historic) RI SG and an American Standard strat that I had a total of about 1500 into.
I haven't played it with the Dr. Z yet, but with my Super Reverb I was VERY impressed.
I'll let you know when I finally get to use the RXES with it Thursday.
I can't remember from when I read about yours before, did you change the pickups out on it? I'm really liking the stock ones with the Super Reverb.
Travis

Travis Yes, I changed mine to Fralin PAF's - jury is still out on them. I may try something else before I make a final decision, but in specific setups it's working pretty well. I like it with my RXES, but not so much with my Flexi-50. Not sure why but the two amps respond differently to the humbuckers.
