[Rich5150]

I was lining everything up to take a nice family pic and realized I don't have enough room till the jam space is done. These are all the Core's I also have an SEOne, Lowery and SE Acoustic as well. One of these days I'll get a proper family shot along with the other non PRS

I've got PRSi #5 coming in this weekend, and as far as I know it might be the first one on SSO.

The nurses must have had an awkward look on their face as they wrote "Rich5150" on your birth certificate

That one and the Sandstorm Fade one from that run have been haunting me since 2014

What is the bottom left model? Is it a Dusty Waring? That satin finish with the red looks amaaaazing! tell me more!

i can see why! i've never seen this finish before.

 

[technomancer]

^ Yep that's the one... really should have bought it when it was on consignment at Brian's for $5k

The finish is a Private Stock only color

Awesome, the CE is a great sounding model. Looks like they have the new 85/15 pickups I've been wanting to try out in them, going to have to grab one of these.

Kind of sucks that they're only including a gig bag on a $2k guitar though... that is a trend I am not a fan of.

 

[maliciousteve]

I had a CE22 which I sadly had to sell to pay some expensive bills (home ownership, woopy). I loved it, I would probably still have it if I didn't need to sell it. These new ones come with the Prs Designed Tuners and Bridge that you see on the S2 guitars. You could buy a second hand USA Prs bridge or a Mann bridge, Schaller tuners etc and have one just like the old models. But at that point you may as well buy the old model.

Any way, good to see a bolt on PRS because the one I had was quite special.

Guys, I have a dilemma.

I have an artist V in eriza verde. Ebony board, artist grade woods, artist V pickups, it's beautiful and it sings.

(photo cred: Phil Babbey)

But it has a trem, and my ideal PRS are all wraptail/stoptail. I actually own my high school grail PRS now as well (custom 22 emerald wraptail).

I have seen approximately 4 artist V's for sale since buying mine - another in eriza, one in red, and one currently on reverb in blue crab blue. Mine would be worth the least as it's no longer in mint condition - but it's still pretty damn good.

The Dilemma:
I'm not a fan of the trem (it's 90% a visual thing), I keep floating around the idea of selling my guitar.

I bought it with the intent to heirloom it as opposed to move it, but also part of me really wants something with a rosewood neck. I have my dream green PRS, but I also have something that is one step up in their quality and bling department .

And yes, I know I can block the trem - but that doesn't turn it into a wraptail . Wraptail Artist V's were built, but I've never ever seen one listed.

My baby is 1/100, but there's one spec I would prefer to have different. What would you do?

*note* I don't have play money for guitars whatsoever, any major purchase would be funded from selling the Artist V - touring band + wedding =

(just saw this) - maybe this will bring down the guys who are asking funny money for their CE24's..

I'd keep it. Or find some one who has one with a hard tail and see if they'd trade. Guitars are hard to sell right now and may stay that way for years yet.

 

[budda]

Thanks for your input!

I would love to trade for a hard tail, but as I said I haven't seen any. I've seen two listed on reverb.com since I got mine, both trems. With the exchange rate, I'd be selling for the same as a good custom 22, 24 or McCarty so I think someone would scoop it up. Hell my Canadian forum had 3 PRS NGD's inside two weeks

Edit: 300 made worldwide, 20 were sent to the UK alone.

If I ever see a stoptail model, I'm going for it haha. I should probably keep this one though.
