Looks like we might be getting the single cut PRS's back. Basically, that document says that no one in their right mind would confuse a PRS for a Gibson.

fish-head · 12-09-2005 9:05pm

HAHAHAHA. Great! One for the not-as-big-guy!
Serves Gibson right.

sei046 · 12-09-2005 9:19pm

thats absolutely brilliant. The Prs truly is its own instrument and i would by no means consider it a copy

It wasn't me! · 12-09-2005 9:29pm

Indeed. It looks quite dissimilar. Bleh, the mention of this case has made me want to add a PRS to my to-do list... Damn you fey!

Doctor J · 12-09-2005 9:29pm

Am I the only one who thinks the PRS Singlecut is a damn ugly guitar design?

feylya · 12-09-2005 9:31pm

Yes

I love the Tremonti shape.

Doctor J · 12-09-2005 9:32pm

I like horns.

Wait a minute, that didn't sound right

feylya · 12-09-2005 9:33pm

I wondered what those things were on your forehead...

It wasn't me! · 12-09-2005 9:35pm

It's pretty ugly, but the other PRS designs are gorgeous.

I do too. I dislike most PRS/church guitars.

Doctor J · 12-09-2005 9:36pm

Boooom Booooom!!!

Seriously though, those guitars are ugly. Damn!

You don't think that's nice?

sei046 · 12-09-2005 9:41pm

i really like the singlecut. Its like a really elegant gibson but yet its a totally different guitar. very well done.

Ooooh

Eoin Madsen · 13-09-2005 12:53am

nice one i love the single cut PRSisis bout time that got settled and righty so

Doctor J · 13-09-2005 8:00am

Fey, they are two damn ugly guitars. The shape is just not graceful, it's like a home made guitar shape, it's too boxy, too many almost straight lines. As for that spanner's name all over the 12th fret, I mean, FFS :eek:

Damn ugly.

I must applaud this line however... Smackdown

"We hope that Gibson will now compete in the marketplace and not use litigation to obtain unfair advantage."

Karl Hungus · 13-09-2005 9:24am

In fairness, I think the PRS Singlecuts are fairly swish altogether. If I had a voucher for one of either the Gibson Les Paul, or the PRS Singlecut, I'd go for the Singlecut. Of course I still have my eyes on a Tokai for the time being.

Doctor J · 13-09-2005 9:25am

The Tokai Singlecut? It's only a matter of time

Hehe, I need to stop buying guitars tbh. I've enough for what I want now really, any more would just be indulgence. Not that I'm against that, I'd love to indulge in a pile of guitars that I don't really need, but right now I've just not got the money for it. When I do though, ho ho! That'll be some shopping trip, won't it?

Ancient1 · 13-09-2005 10:02am

That's just a classic case of denial, and you know it!

kennier · 13-09-2005 10:07am

That's the truth!!

I still have a hankering after an Olympic white strat that will only be solved in one way

Help comes in many guises

Yeah, i'm only trying to help.

You seriously don't like them? :eek: Well, maybe I'll just buy a Tremonti to piss you off

Doctor J · 13-09-2005 10:43am

Seriously. Yeah, you do that

feylya · 13-09-2005 10:44am

Ok then. I will!

Actually, I really like the Tremonti. At least, the SE version of it anyway. Haven't tried the real one.

No, not really exciting my GAS Glands there Ancient1. If I was to get a Strat, it would be something like this. Love the natural finish with the black pick-guard. Even then it's fairly far down on the list, as I've still got an incling for that ENGL Fireball, and there's also the Petrucci 7 String with the Piezo, a Les Paul of some sort (Leaning towards the Tokai of course), maybe that Ibanez J Custom 7 String...

...look what you did! :eek:

Doctor J · 13-09-2005 10:58am

Damn that lite ash strat is stupidly good value. Egads!

kennier · 13-09-2005 10:58am

Gaaaaahgggggggghh......white stratttttt!!!

Question: What possible use would I have for one when I already have a legacy? What if I break a string on the legacy and need to play? Mmmm sounds like a good enough reason for me

Next stop - Ebay.de & babblefish!

No, it's terrible value! Shut up! :eek:

Birds eye maple neck, Seymour Duncans, 2 point trem FFS :rolleyes:

jcoote · 13-09-2005 11:14am

no that strat is perfect ancient1 nut the lite ash is spectacular too...i just love strats but tbh

excuse me while i go change my underwear

Exactly my sentiments. So i went and bought one

And now i want one in black, one in chrome red and one in lake placid blue.

feylya · 13-09-2005 12:32pm

Reliced seafoam green for me thanks.

Doctor J · 13-09-2005 12:32pm

And the hallowed candy apple red, just for the craic

Ancient1 · 13-09-2005 12:35pm

Fiesta red ain't bad either.

Doctor J · 13-09-2005 12:36pm

Any takers?

feylya · 13-09-2005 12:37pm

Mmm, candy apple red, black pickguard, HSS pickups, chrome floyd rose, maple neck. Oh yeah!

Ancient1 · 13-09-2005 12:39pm

I don't like the white bits, but that shade of green is not bad. It would go nicely with a rosewood fretboard.

(Jaysus, listen to me talk like a bitch - does the shade on my handbag match my shoes? :rolleyes:

)

Is it just me or do the coloured headstocks look manky?!

Quattroste · 13-09-2005 1:12pm

That whole guitar is manky! I'd expect a wanker to be playing that.

You know something, I saw that very strat in town today, and it had a price tag of €795. Suddenly the thomann price seems extremely good value.

It wasn't me! · 13-09-2005 7:22pm

I have played that Strat and, especially for the Thomann price, it's a wonderful instrument.

Eoin Madsen · 14-09-2005 11:58am

Meh. I've been unimpressed with the cheaper Fenders tbh. For 500-800 euros I'm pretty sure they compromised something. Probably the wood.

My brother has a £230 Yamaha Pacifica with a wonderful natural finish, looks great. Plays okay. Sounds like complete sh*te though.

PRS Win!
