1st one for me too. Looks like someone rubbed the flame off the end of the 2nd one.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

I'm thinking the first one too. The pickup surrounds look really white on it. I wonder if another colour would make it look even better?

I admit I know next to nothing about PRS, but I prefer the first one.

First one. Second one is pretty unremarkable.

It's a PRS. If it's not blingy overkill, what's the point?

Unquestionably the first one.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

No one ever died of hard work.. but why take the risk..

And not just because of the colour - blade selector is better than rotary, better pickups, and I think rosewood board is better for a 24 fret PRS than maple due to over-brightness on the neck pickup with maple/pickup positioning.

Blue Matteo really pops with nickel covers, cream pickup rings and amber knobs...
