Er, not sure how to put this, buuuuut……..
…………I’ve bought a PRS.
Popped down to Back Alley Music in Mold to try a very nicely priced Yam Revstar; Gorgeous but the neck was too fat. Shame, lovely otherwise.
Tried a few others but was then introduced to the PRS Vela.
My word – angels singing, heavenly chorus, drag it out of my cold dead hands etc. Not felt this way about a guitar since I tried an Ibanez RG550 (my favourite guitar). Sooo, I traded in a Cort CR300 and it’s mine…….
My word. All mahogany. Satin. Dots. Cherry. Neck single coil and bridge humbucker. It feels like an SG but sounds like a Tele crossed with a Gretsch.
Never, ever thought I would own a PRS – they’re too polite, too posh and waaay too bland. It’s delightful, sounds fantastic, weighs nothing and feels like it deserves a damn good thrashing. Most SG’s feel like they were built by Helen Keller, this feels perfect.
