    PRS singlecut isn't allowed to be made anymore cause gibson sued them for copryright of the les paul.

    It looks like a LP and plays better. Gibson didn't like it. They sued and won. PRS had to stop making the Single cut.

    Are you sure this isn't some sort of scam or error on the site?

    Interesting. Some ombudsman type organization in America say they're ok. I think.

    From bynes21 on guitar.com
    i called them and talked to a sales rep, and asked him about it, he said "yea if thats what the price says then thats how much it is"

    Maybe someone should call them...

    I called them. Forget about it, it's supposedly a miss-print, and when I asked how much it was supposed to be, I was told it was sold out.

    If anyone else wants to try anyway, from Ireland, the number is 001 619 427 0577

    I also called them and they guy asked me if I was the guy who just called ... i.e. you! He said there was a problem with the website and call on monday if I wanted to talk to the manager who would know about the price (strange he couldn't find out himself).

    probably not, it seems pretty unlikely that anyone would sell a prs for that price, if they've stopped making them surely the price should be going up not down! (I felt kinda stupid asking if they were selling a prs for $150, waiting for the guy to say of course we're f***ing not!).

    It's clearly a typo, but hey, if someone put in an order for one before they sort it out, good luck to them :)

    Most of the people in that thread ordered. The thing is, it doesn't say it's a PRS. It says it is PRS quality and a PRS trem but doesn't say it's PRS...

    Depends if they've been shipped or not. I imagine so especially since the website ****ed up with the details. Although, they are covered.

    Gibson didn't win the case. Its still in the courts. But they did win an injunction to stop sale and production and US only. So they can still make the SE Korean Models and they can still be sold anywhere else in the world other then america. Which is the only place they have the patent. They recon in due course the injunction will be over turned....

    It should be. The single cut is 15% different to the LP.

    It's at least 40% uglier :)

    You can see why Gibson would be upset but the PRS is just way uglier IMO :)

    Well, when you look at it that way, the PRS really has nothin on the Gibson.
    I like their headstocks a lot though.
