I only have one but it slays my LP Custom.. Its a SC245 Artist with Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. and i LOVE IT...

I heard PRS wasn't going to offer anymore guitars but private stocks with Brazilian boards so i went hunting.. and found this one about 5 hours away from me.. He had a few PRS's with Brazilian boards and this one had the best grain ive ever seen..

But its an awesome single cut..

I want to eventually get a Custom 24 non trem..

Does anyone like the new birds? Not the hollow birds. But the latest ones. I saw them the other day and I'm not sure if I like them or not. I think I prefer the hollow.

My favorites will always be the old school birds, but the new 2011 ones come in 2nd.

Same here. The hollow ones, for me, looks like they were saving money on inlays

I just have my PRS SE Camo. I'm going to trade it or sell it as I want something with a faster neck and better fret access (maybe another RG) but with new locking tuners and pickups this thing would absolutely rip. Don't see them about often. I would love a proper PRS one day though; my friend had a CU22 Platinum and it was the nicest guitar I've ever played. Sounded so huge.

This is my SE Paul Allender, its was the nicest SE I could afford at the time. It's all stock with the exception of the tuners, which I swapped out for Grover locking tuners. I would have saved up for a Cus. 24, but I got a Dual Rec instead....... (sorry for the shitty phone picture, I need a new camera, and just don't feel like dishing out the cash just yet)

I did some mods on my SE Singlecut a couple of weeks ago. It has all gold HW, gold locking tuners, and USA PRS #7 pickups.

Has anyone played one of the newer singlecut PRS SC 58s? I like the way they look, but one thing I love about the PRS singlecuts is the wrap around bridges. The SC 58 has a stop tail piece and tune-o-matic bridge.

I purchased this SC 58 from Wild West Guitars a couple weeks ago. Pretty amazing instrument and not exactly what I was expecting.

When I use other guitars on my go-to Uber-based Axe-FX patch, the tone is dark and rich. With the SC 58, the sound becomes raw and throaty, as if I'm suddenly playing a Framus Cobra instead of an Uberschall. I have 15 other guitars -- all different makes, models, woods, and pickups -- and I think the SC 58 sounds the most unique of the bunch.

For what I play (hard rock and metal), I find these new tones to be incredibly pleasing and not at all what I thought a vintage-style instrument with vintage-style pickups (57/08 bridge and neck) would sound like. Certainly not what my 2011 Les Paul Standard sounds like, or even my PRS Tremonti 10-Top.

Anyone else with one of these? If so, what are your thoughts?

Here is the SE Soapbar I used to own, in all its badly-photographed glory:

I sold it last year to fund the purchase of a Gibson Flying V. I loveloveloveloveLOVE my V and wouldn't part with it for the world, but I wish I'd sold one of my other guitars instead of this. I miss it, but I can't justify buying another one now. I should have kept it.

At least I made a tidy profit when I sold it.

Here is my 2011 Custom 24 in a Blue Crab Blue Quilt 10 Top. The finish is almost impossible to capture with a camera as it changes from just about every angle.

As of today I also have a 2011 Tremonti in Purple Hazel Flame 10 Top on order too. Love those new colors!

I want a SC58 in that color so bad that it's not even funny. I love the way they play, sound, and feel!!! Paul Reed Smith sure does know how to make guitars.
