«  Class, what a PRS! »

Published on 09/28/11 at 12:11
United States bought nearly new
Guitar US; 22 frets, D handle (the normal), 1 tone, 1 volume, a 5 rotocontacteur positions, Dragon II pickups, bridge prs in 2 directions, very nice translucent blue, revealing the wood, rosewood fingerboard, mahogany body maple, maple neck.
Silver fittings very sensitive to moisture and corrosion, this price is ugly from them.
Point in less splash

UTILIZATION

The neck is excellent, and not too thin as the 24 cu, everything is obvious, it seems to have a watch movement, perfect finish, not too heavy, balanced, I have had many guitars but none had made such an impression, I bought another and a PRS Music Man, since then, but with the Gibson ES347 is the best race I had in my hands, (that of godin was not bad I admit). access to a shrill little below the Music Man, but that's normal working capital is the redesigned as,
but hey it's great anyway, everything is clear.
Three small flats,
1) The rotocontacteur of death, you get used to but it's very very hard to ever know visually what position you are, it takes a little practice, you turn it on and goes to fund the positions back as lol a sequential gearbox, but after a while nothing's ear we know where we are, in short, you get used to.
2) The amount that can affect playing the right hand and is very loose, so be careful (good for violoning on the other hand).
3) The locking system of the strings a bit tedious (the former on mine) but required to perfect match whatever the blows of vibrato.
3 points off for flats, plus 2 points for the handle exceptional

SOUNDS

Versatile guitar, a mix fender gibson PRS but with a personality what more she can do everything, jazz, rock, metal, country, bagpipes
5 sounds
A microphone into jazzy little serious, excellent in rock and super precise, stands whatever the level of saturation. Less aggressive than the cu24
February 1 the fender highly crystalline,
3 two doubles plus comes in, sustain excellent
4 sound through the fender (no breath) and 10 times better in full, accurate and balanced.
5 micro acute beautiful and angry like no other, a true personality, a magnificent sustain, stand out.
No significant drop in level between the sound, no breath;

I almost forgot the button tone, very gradual, from the stifled the lens.
And even if it turns a little easier and a little in the way of my right hand
is a model of its kind, it sets the amplifier to saturation switching from a clean to saturated with nothing but the volume without collapse of his short, we have everything at hand, we forget the amp, while is there.

nothing to throw everything is excellent at any level, saturation, sustain is there, the accuracy of the sound is astounding

10/10

OVERALL OPINION

used for 4 years, it's a wonderful guitar, I have had many guitars, Epiphone, Hagstrom (very nice its handle not terrible), Godin handle poor excellent microphones, etc ...

It is there in the pantheon, despite its small flaws with the gibson es347, EC 24, and the music man JP BFR.
It sounds, it is versatile, not a sound wave split sag, she's beautiful, excellent sustain a hair below the cu24, but it is already in the grandiose.
On the occasion is a matter, given its quality. The price in France is expensive but it's a good piece of craftsmanship.
All is clear on this guitar.
1000% yes I would do this choice.
