SWEET, I had no idea they made 7's...must have costed a bunch though!

To my knowledge, it's only the 4th one in existence. Wes Borland has 2 of them. I'm not sure about the other. And yes, it's more $$$ than your car...well, 5 figures anyway. :eek:

Yeah, I think it was $11K. Too much for me, but still awfully pretty. :hbang:

I'm going to assume your compadre has other sources of income, as it's hard to imagine a gigging musician with $11K in loose cash. And I certainly hope it's at least a 25.5" scale.

I heard (take that for what it's worth) the PRS on their site is 25" scale.

And at $11K, Vince's theory of el-cheapo guitar-o finally kicks in for me. I can see dropping 2, maybe 3 grand on a guitar. MAAAAAAYBE a bit more if it was really, really what I wanted (or I was rich and it was soley for collecting/reselling purposes. Hell, sky's the limit then, I guess) but 11 thousand bucks? Fux them bux. I'll pass.

I wonder if we could sell him a Mesa Dual Rec with gain that goes to 11, and mids that go to -50. How much would he pay? Pair that with his 7-string PRS, and he'd be the Nu-Metal Master! :bowdown:

Actually, Wes Borland doesn't have any 7-strings as far as I know (or if he does he doesn't use them). I know there's been one or two PRS 7-strings passed frequently around Ebay claiming to have been owned by Wes, but I believe the actual story is that PRS made them for him when he switch from Ibanez to them, but he decided to stick with 6-strings instead and they sold off the 7-strings.

It's pretty, but I don't think any guitar is worth $11,000. Heck, I wouldn't pay that much for a car.

The funny thing is that the finish is almost exactly like on that Agile that Shannon has.

$11K is a lot for what is basically a production-line guitar.

Having said that, try asking a concert cellist how much they paid for their instrument...

If you have that kind of cash to spray around, why not try...

That top is to die for... Shannon's Agile is nice (I'm considering grabbing one of the next batch myself), but that PRS is in a whole different league of pretty.

$11k nice though? Jeez, what does your buddy do, aside from looking like the love child of a bizzare prog metal relationship? :lol:
