Value For Money : Excellent
In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
The PRS is manufactured in Korea.

How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration?
22 frets, 2 humbucker PRS Treble & Bass type "zebra" (black and white)

What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
PRS tremolo is available as a model or stoptail. I have version tremolo, and it is very well agree! Just do not abuse the tremolo!
What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?

1 volume, 1 tone and a three position selector switch ... nothing easier!
What kind of stick?
Rosewood handle type.

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?
Bon ben handle ... PRS is therefore a delight, very good comfort game, slipping his own!

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
The access to the treble is very good with the ergonomics of the "custom", so for his big solos shred the fact <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Very good ergonomics, the guitar is well balanced and does not sting the nose, the weight is very correct, heavier than a Start, but much less than lespaul.

Do you get a good sound easy? ...

Thanks to the microphones of good quality (it is still worth the price! € 685 on thomann!), We obtain very beautiful sounds easy, the race potentiometers is very good and can handle a very light crunch to a big heavy distortion well that does not blur! nothing with the volume knob! I found that the cons by knob Tone on the other hand is not the most efficient ...
And the clean ... MAGNIFICENT middle position ...

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?
YES! The advantage of this prs is what is very versatile, you CAN do with funk, but also send the sauce lacking power without distortion, thanks to these humbuckers.

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?

I play on my jcm 800 2204 on a 2 * 12, but I also tried on other lower-end amp! (Line 6 Spider, Roland Cube ..) And it does it all so much! But the play is better now on a good tube amp, it's where she reveals all its character.
What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
As stated above, one can obtain a wide range of different sounds with this guitar, crystal clear sound good playing on the volume knob, the big sound!

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
I think I prefer the sound on this guitar is the crunch you get for having the volume knob is half way. in bridge pickup! a feast for rock'n'roll!

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?

I use it for over a year now and we never tire of this guitar as opposed to others. It has a charm ..
What thing do you like most/least about it?
The versatility and aesthetics. And the one I like least ... maybe the neck pickup a bit vague, but nothing serious .. it turns a microphone! I think can be done be a Seymour Duncan SH-2

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Yes! PRS USA Custom (And to compare it with the, well obviously this is not the same range, the finish is not the same, and it is more accurate in the sounds, but it really is closer to the original !), Gibson Les Paul, Fender Start, esp, ibanez prestige ..

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
I think it was value for money, this guitar is superb! € 685 is an investment, but you will keep this guitar a long time ...

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
YES! Unless you have € 2,000 available or I would take the model usa necessarily.
