Go PRS!

Hideous. Oh well, I'm sure they'll be collectors out there somewhere that will buy them up, and probably not a bad thing locking them all up in a vault :-)

To be honest, I’d rather see a PRS acoustic with a Cocobolo back than coloured maple. Because acoustics are just different.

Pretty much the response I predicted. The Martin, I'm sure is destined for a glass case in Asia. It would be too hard to play anyway.
The Angelus however... second best guitar I've ever played is an Angelus and there's nothing stopping that one being played. The neck reminds me of some of the more spectacular tropical sunsets I've seen.

It's loud, but I like it.

If you step back from the bling and look at the craftsmanship of that Martin, it is an incredible guitar.

If silly rich, one of those in a glass case makes sense.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
