Officially due out next week, but apparently the waiting list is up to 6 months! Huge level of pre-orders...

Meant to say, I think they look shit.

Loose feelings about this, especially the 'looks like a Strat, why bother' stuff. Yeah, I agree the distinct lack of innovation (apart from body cuts at the front) doesn't exactly scream 'new ideas', but then again a Suhr S is practically a strat with a droopy nose. But I know which ones I still own...and its not a Fender. You can do someone else's great idea better, so I guess until these are out and well-reviewed we'll not know how successful the whole thing is.


But its a PRS so I don't care anyway :P

(I am the Anti-Conway I think...)

Usually to avoid thinking about how much they just spent on a John Mayer PRS.

And design guitars while their still high in this case.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

is it me or is JM way behind the beat?

worst VH Cover ever
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

You leave Paul Reefer Smith out of these wild accusations, please!

Paul Reefer Spliff. Maybe that's why he likes dragons so much. Puff the magic draaagon, lived by the sea.
