Value For Money : Excellent
Asian manufacturing, handle a wider ESP EC eg, 2 EMG pickups (81/60), 3-position swith, volume and tone knobs. Nothing but classic, it is not lost!

UTILIZATION

I found the handle a bit wide at first but it is very pleasant and easy to access. Big downside, however: no marks on the handle keys and those on the edge are black dots on dark red background ... In other words, in the semi-darkness (especially on stage), not easy to find on the handle ...
Shape close to a LP standard (like all PRS single cut), the weight is well below his sister at Gibson eg (which is a log must admit). For sound, it's simple: you plug it sounds. Of course there is the eternal debate about the coldness of EMG ... matter of taste. I was looking crisp and sharp, the EMG do their job.

SOUNDS

For the "modern metal" is an excellent guitar. Not really so versatile (the look of the rest with the acronym Evil Twin immediately gives the tone) but devilishly effective in the register edgy music. I needed a guitar with a pitch longer than 24 "3 / 4 (25" here) for a drop B tuning in without climbing the rope 70 grave, again the PRS does its job. It's nice, stable (the mechanics seem to hold very well) and very well finished.
In addition to a Schecter to Drop Solo, all plugged into a Line6 Spider IV, ca sends hay without parasites. It's clean, square, clean and free of burrs.
I use little or no sound clear (there is always a bit of crunch) and especially the distortion (the Line6 amp simulations so). The sound and finish are up to my expectations.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for about three months, several repeats and a concert. No surprises so far.
I tried and I have plenty of other models (Schecter, ESP Ltd, Lag, Ibanez ..) the PRS in this price range is one of the best, design and more.
Excellent quality / price ratio so.
I would, even with the cons I'll try to make marks on the edge of the handle because it is a problem ...
