Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has played or owns the Dweezil Zappa PRS guitar or knows more about them? I know they are limited edition in a true sense of the word. I love the inlays on the neck, the tops, the mandolin shape. It probably is one of my "grail" guitars.
Also what are anyone's thoughts on the semi hollows that were released last year? I really like when I play unplugged how they have more volume, and how they have that more midrange sound. I already am seeing how I like the Zach Myers SE model and I think it's great!

What's the verdict on the S2's? I played an S2 singlecut standard last weekend and feel in love but for $1,300 I could also pick up a used CE22/24. Do they compare? I've never played a "real" USA PRS.

They have a few used CE22 and 24s on Ishibashi Ubox.

Just got back with a new bridge and setup by John Mann. This guitar is just wonderful, glad I got mine before they stopped selling them!

No porn, but I recently picked up a P245 with the new 58/15 pickups.

Killer top on that one!
I just spent 45 minutes playing mine last night through the Kemper for the first time... HOOCHIE MAMA! SO MANY TONES! If you decide those pickups aren't for you, give me a holler sir! I've only had the chance to play an S2 CU24 and IMHO I wasn't blown away. That being said as with any guitar line, playing more than one to get a real idea of the sample group would probably be good to have a more fully-formed opinion as some folks really seem to be loving them and the one I played was literally from the first batch shipped so it's possible they have improved even further. I truly love the CE models and on the used market they are one of the best bang-for-the-buck guitars out there, IMO!
My first real PRS (and first "expensive" guitar when I was in high school ) was a CE-24 in whale blue, and even then I was blown away at how good it was! 
Opinion still hasn't changed, my buddy uses his two CE-24's as his main gigging guitars and his tone is always killer (he modified the stock pickups FWIW, that was the only thing I didn't love about them as well, the HFS/VB pickups were not really my thing in most CE's 
).The only issue with buying CE's from Japan is that a) often times they are beat up pretty badly and the island air can cause added corrosion on the hardware and b) the prices are usually jacked sky high because all things PRS are typically super expensive over there, even used.

I keep reading "bang for the buck" comments about the CE so I'm really interest in trying one. I found a purple maple/mahogany CE22 for $900 I'm gonna try to check out next week. Not a fan of the color in the pictures but a $900 PRS is a deal either way. Went back to the same guitar center (San Diego/Lemon Grove) and played the same S2 singlecut and a core line CU24 and liked the S2 a lot more for some reason
EDIT: What's the verdict on stripping and refinishing PRSi? I see a lot of beat up solid finish CEs out there begging for a nice oil finish. Is as painful and time consuming as stripping an Ibanez?

Fine. (This is not the semi-hollow, though.)IMMA NEED PICS POST-HASTE, KIND SIR!!!
Yes, these ^ v are the same guitar -- the flash brings out the blue, making it look more violet with blue-burst, whereas most of the time, it looks more purple with blackburst.
This one looks like it's carrying a snake:

I ain't got no fancy P245 semi hollow either...I'm a 25" scale guy...but I still got my sc HBII. That thing is awesome... the super thick hollow body is great.
So what's the deal with the P245 SH by the way?
Is it a real hollow body construction? Or just limited chambering with F-Hole?

So...beautiful...much...purple...
I was just there at the factory, and I still don't know the answer to that question. I just assumed it was half a hollowbody (and half solidbody), or -- as you said -- limited chambering.
(Will post porn later. I got lots of pictures including a couple of dragons in mid construction and a bunch of purple amps.)

I was there as well. Was an awesome experience to take in. Ended up taking home a 30th charcoal burst, such an awesome guitar as are the rest of the core's I own. Had Paul sign the control cover as well as Emil.

Nice! I had just purchased the P245, so couldn't justify another core just now unless it was a seven-string -- I did ask for a core seven-string, hope you did too.
Also, didn't show up 'til after one with the rest of the proles, so if there was anything interesting, it was gone -- but I don't think the various dealers throughout the country were there selling there wares as with previous years.
But that, my friend, is superb.

I did not sadly didn't even think of the 7, but yea there were no dealers involved in those sales they were all done through PRS. This is one of those guitars that just sings acoustically and when plugged in it screams, I hit a note and it just sustained for no kidding 20-25 seconds with no vibrato, pure awesomeness
