They're sharp, sound great, and aren't owned by every living, breathing 16 yr old male (read: Les Paul or SG.) Play on, and get one with righteous inlays. I’m glad you decided on the PRS.

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 18:09:20 +0000 http://www.mikedidonato.com/2007/10/22/guitar-research/#comment-66605 Good question! No, I have not. For whatever reason, I don't want one. It just doesn't appeal to me. This decision has little to do with tone or musicality, just the general sexiness of the guitar. I find the solid body kicks me in the face in a way that a hollow body does not. And, when it comes to guitar looks, that's what I'm looking for. Bite, attitude, and a kick in the face. Good question!

The one thing I wish was different about my Tele is the neck, it's finished with a glossy lacquer that's just very sticky and annoying to play on. My guitar instructor and the luthier who owns the shop i go to both want me to steel wool the neck, but i'm too afraid to.

But, PRS is unbelievably cool. I think you’re neglecting the importance of pointy bits…

They had what may have been more experimenting from the log, which appeared to be a railroad tie with strings and pickups.
