Order NOW!

Wow!! is that cause of the gibson lawsuit?

feylya

I'm thinking so. Anyone want to add one to their order for me?

Karl Hungus

Gibson lawsuit??
I never heard anything about this, give details.

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

feylya

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.

feylya

Anyone ordered yet?

Karl Hungus

I'm actually checking funds as we speak, it's possible.

feylya

Yeah. If my mate is getting some, I'll definately go for one.

i have a choice betweeen buying christmas presents for my family or buying this.

feylya

Family? Meh.

Zoton

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

calis

have a prs mc carthy and it more dear to me than any family. buy buy buy. besides u can get them something next year.

feylya

Hmm, click on the shipping options, international orders and returns bit. Why does it just bring you to a page with guitars....

Karl Hungus

Aye, that's annoying feylya...

Here, has anyone ever ordered from these guys before? Is the price legit? Are ye sure 'tis not a scam?

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...

Karl Hungus

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

feylya

Wonder will they honour anyone who bought 2 or 3 for that price?

Karl Hungus

It's possible, but unlikely.

feylya

Hmm, they spelt Fender "Frender"...

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).

Karl Hungus

Yeah, that's strange. Are you going to bother calling back tomorrow?

rob1891

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!).

Doctor J

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

feylya

You mean like all these folk?

david

looks like someone got one on that forum above. no pics though so he could be bull****ting

feylya

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...

david

hahaha. they could get some plywood encore lespaul ripoff!!!

feylya

Apparently, it's the monthly rental price. And some people ordered two...

david

hahaha. are they able to cancel at this stage do you know?

feylya

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

that's a ridiculous price incease!


$2,146.75 now!

Thats 15 times the original price!

dabhoys

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....

feylya

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

Doctor J

It's at least 40% uglier

Ancient1

The single-cuts look slightly out of shape to me, dunno why i really dont like them.

Doctor J

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

feylya

The Prs looks like it was melted.

Ancient1

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