Hi Judy-

Nice stuff. When I saw the inlays, I thought of Jeff Mosby- I bet he did them:

Jeff does killer leather work too- I had him produce a color matched strap to go with a Campbell guitar I bought last year.

I'm a Gibson fan myself but that's a pretty sweet lookin gitfiddle there. I wonder how she "feels"? I'd like to play her!

I've never liked PRS myself but this one would be cool to have just because of the :bananabat:


And it's not expensive either, under $700 new. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SEPA/ I bet one finds its way to my home one of these days...

Schecter makes one too.

I like the PRS inlays better though.

Man, I thought this was going to be a guitar that wouldn't get destroyed going through a cave. Certainly wouldn't want to take that thing anywhere near mud and rocks.

I am a 100% Les Paul Man, but the older model PRS are nice to play, and pretty versatile. I liked the older ones more, but that's a sharp guitar. I wonder how ridiculous the price is...

They retail for less than $650. It's an SE model which means its made overseas(Korea). The inlays are more than likely laser routed. It has a veneer quilt maple top, not a solid maple on mahogany like the high end guitars. Guitar player gave this an editor's choice award in Oct. 2007. I'd still like to have one in ma collection!
