Can't say I'm a big fan tbh.

It wasn't me! · 11-01-2005 8:54pm

I'm not a fan of gaudy inlays but I think that's really pretty. It's more artistic than other PRS inlays.

david · 11-01-2005 9:02pm

ewwww!

feylya · 11-01-2005 9:07pm

I must bring myself to Dublin and see what the deal is with Prs's.

dabhoys · 11-01-2005 9:17pm

There are amzing guitars. The build quality is amazing. The attention to deatail is unreal. There great to play the action is excellent and the whole thing is nice. But there by no means the best guitar in the world or that. But there are excellent. There quality control is 2nd to none. But you can buy just as good a guitar for 1/4 of the price of a PRS. But I must say there are great to play

I've never been a fan of the bird inlays but they do look nice.

Someone agrees with me? Holy Crap.

John · 11-01-2005 9:18pm

Have to say I like that inlay

It wasn't me! · 11-01-2005 9:19pm

Might take a few minutes to persuade them to let you play one.

They're not fond of placing 4 grands worth of guitar in anyone's hands.

feylya · 11-01-2005 9:21pm

I have tricks for doing that...

"Hello, I'm feylya" *thump*

*feylya falls down*

ferdi · 11-01-2005 9:22pm

inlays are a waste of time....especially ****e ones like that!

dabhoys · 11-01-2005 9:22pm

But there are still amazing guitars. I love my one to bits. Just plays like butter. It spoilts ya for playing. It feels like nothing when your playing it but the tone is excellent. Unlike my les paul you have to really get used to playing them. They weight a ton and there big. Very demanding to play but the rewards are excellent

feylya · 11-01-2005 9:22pm

Hmmm, I dunno. I like some inlays like on the 25th Anniversary ESP.

But a blank ebony board? Oh yes!

dabhoys · 11-01-2005 9:23pm

There not even that fancy. You should see the Dragon one they do

I really don't like that dragon one.

I think my problem with PRS is the "I'm using a PRS, I've loads of money" stigma about them. Don't ask.

dabhoys · 11-01-2005 9:33pm

I'm using a PRS and I'm broke as a joke

thats cause you bought a PRS!

feylya · 11-01-2005 9:35pm

Exactly!

dabhoys · 11-01-2005 9:38pm

Nope I'm broke cuz I bought my 1980 Gibson Les Paul Custom!!! My PRS cost me very little

feylya · 11-01-2005 9:39pm

€900 Iirc.

It wasn't me! · 11-01-2005 9:41pm

Poverty is so a worthy sacrifice though for such a good instrument.

I have big hands, and I mean like shovels, so I need big frets, and though they don't look it, those PRS frets are really roomy and comfortable.

feylya · 11-01-2005 9:42pm

I'm worried that this Ibanez will be too small for my hands.

If it is, I'll just sell it for a small profit

dabhoys · 11-01-2005 9:46pm

The frets are nice and chunky on a PRS...

feylya · 11-01-2005 9:47pm

Dunlop 6100s.

That is all.

It wasn't me! · 11-01-2005 9:54pm

You needn't worry about the Ibanez frets. They're the biggest I've ever played. They're the only ones still comfortable for me past the fifteenth fret! :rolleyes:

feylya · 11-01-2005 9:55pm

It's really the size of the neck that has me worried...

david · 11-01-2005 10:02pm

Which neck does it have? wizard or prestige or what?

feylya · 11-01-2005 10:05pm

I think it's the Prestige one. If it's a 2004 model, it is. I emailed Thomann about it but they didn't reply. Must check Music Produktiv too actually...

Karl Hungus · 12-01-2005 6:42am

Nothing beats an ebony board with no inlays. NOTHING.

PRS are very nice guitars, but for that price I'd far rather go for a custom built.

Doctor J · 12-01-2005 10:08am

For that price I'd buy 4 J Customs tbh

Tis very, very pretty though.

feylya · 12-01-2005 3:30pm

How much are J Customs these days?

Doctor J · 12-01-2005 3:48pm

A grand

feylya · 12-01-2005 3:49pm

Surely you lie!

Doctor J · 12-01-2005 3:51pm

There or thereabouts.

feylya · 12-01-2005 3:53pm

€1200 before shipping or import taxes by my estimate...

Doctor J · 12-01-2005 4:00pm

Thereabouts then. OK, gimme three instead of a PRS

feylya · 12-01-2005 4:01pm

No, I'll give you nothing!

Doctor J · 12-01-2005 4:03pm

Ahhh you give so much that you're unaware of, Fey.

feylya · 12-01-2005 4:04pm

Well, I know I say some humorous things from time to time...

It wasn't me! · 12-01-2005 4:51pm

The Prestige neck is a good bit larger than the Wizards. It's like a slimmed down strat neck almost... only nicer!

feylya · 12-01-2005 4:52pm

Well, the J Custom neck is about a mill thicker at the nut than the Jem neck...

Doctor J · 12-01-2005 4:55pm

Ahem... the Prestige neck isn't a neck size. Prestige just means their best luthiers have finished the neck. The guitar would have a Wizard, Wizard II, Ultra, whatever neck on it.

My 2020 Prestige has an Ultra neck, which is bigger than the Wizard afaik. No coating, just wood. It's very, very nice.

feylya · 12-01-2005 4:59pm

Well, I meant the J Custom then, smart arse.

Nothing like bare wood against your hand...

It wasn't me! · 12-01-2005 4:59pm

Sorry, that's what I meant. The Prestige necks on the RG's are Ultras. I assumed that was the guitar he was referring to.

Doctor J · 12-01-2005 5:02pm

It depends on the model

Doctor J · 12-01-2005 5:08pm

Doctor J · 12-01-2005 5:10pm

Doctor J · 12-01-2005 5:12pm

You've just got to love "Rosewood w/Flame Maple Binding fingerboard"

feylya · 12-01-2005 5:14pm

I prefer the "5pcs. Maple/Bubinga neck"

Doctor J · 12-01-2005 5:15pm

It's the little things that mean so much
