Pics of my friend's PRS 7-string!

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

He's an International Man of Mystery.

it's a dentist's prs fuck 11k for a guitar!!!!i spent 1500 on my esp...that was month and month of thinking if i really want to pay this

 

[dpm]

That top is to die for...

I reckon that flame looks pretty damn uneven for an $11k guitar
Hey, as long as he's happy it's all good. Shannon, does this dude need an 8-string?? (by that I mean convince him he needs an 8-string )

 

[Naren]

(by that I mean convince him he needs an 8-string )

Ha ha ha. You've already convinced me I need an 8-string.

 

[Roland777]

fuck 11k for a guitar!!!!

Seconded.

For $11k, you're not getting a "production line" PRS... you're probably getting a Private Stock model made entirely by hand. Also consider that PRS would have to custom-machine the base plate and maybe the bock for their trem. That doesn't come cheap.

It's a pretty sweet guitar, but you could probably get a lesser-known boutique luthier to build you the same thing for a fraction of the cost.

And he needs to get some cream pickup rings on that bad boy.

 

[7slinger]

That is a sweet guitar, but I'll go for the Toyota or Honda instead

God, you're almost as bad as drew ;p

 

[eviltoaster]

11k.....used toyota supra ....

hey,you can get any very good custom cheaper

 

[Shannon]

Man, I should've never brought up the price.

 

[The Dark Wolf]

God, you're almost as bad as drew ;p

I was thinking the same damn thing!

[Papa Shank]

for 11k I think I'd get five and a half Oni Guitars instead
if your buddy is happy with it though then cool

 

[Karl Hungus]

...and yes, if John Petrucci & Mike Portnoy had a kid, he would be it. Behold....Petroitnoy!

That's fucking scary!

But, very sweet guitar indeed. I can imagine a PRS 8 String being very desirable altogether, but tuned low B to high A. That would be fucking sweetness.

I've actually seen two PRS 7's on E-Bay over the course of the last 3 years or so. One was actually a prototype that had a BIN price of $17k. It was a tobacco flame top.

The other was a red flame top one that was marked 'Wes Borland Limp Bizkit' in the neck pocket and was supposedly built for Wes, but he never took delivery of it. There was supporting documentation from PRS that this was the case. I think the BIN on it was $10 or $11K.

Too rich for my wallet. Although I'd love to play one. Can't see shelling out that kinda payola, even if I had it to blow....

 

[Chris]

I give it 6 weeks from the time Scott Kroeker sees this until he owns one.

 

[tonewhore]

Nice. I'd take it, but can't see dropping that kind of money on anything smaller then a car.

 

[Makelele]

I wouldn't dare to play it, I'd be so worried about dropping it or something.

 

[Leon]

Man, I should've never brought up the price.

it's a big part of the guitar. i know it's always the second thing i think of when i'm at a guitar store...
"hey, nice guitar! how much?"
