Published on 12/09/03 at 15:00I purchased this guitar new on ebay in July '03. I needed a new electric guitar, and wanted to try a PRS without spending too much money. I paid just over $400.00 US once everything was said and done.
The sound straight from the guitar without effects is great. Switching between the pickups provides several different sounds easily. The tone is clean and clear, with a nice sound overall.
The reason the price was so low for a PRS is because the guitar is made outside the US. Although solidly built, it doesn't have the same appeal as its more expensive cousins. Also, the sound from pickups is not as warm and full as from the pickups used on more expensives PRS guitars.
Very solid, well built. I haven't had it that long, and try not to abuse it, but I think this guitar could take a beating and keep on playing.
Overall, a good guitar for its price. Add some different pickups, and it would be a rocking piece of equipment. I would definitely gig with it.
