Click the picture with the guitar on cement leaning up against a ledge? Do you think this guy actually set the guitar down on cement like that?

    What's wrong with PRS? I've never played one because I'm a lefty and have never seen a lefty, but they sure look nice. What don't you guys like about them?

    For me, they're typecasted and way overpriced. They've pretty much got one signature sound and you can only do so much with it. I don't understand why it's the dream guitar for so many guitarists. When I go to guitar center, I walk right by the PRS wall everytime. Even if the $1200 American Deluxe strat was the same price as a PRS, I'd still pay for the strat.

    I have one and it's one of the best built stock guitars I've had. (It's like a 1989 or earlier one.) It has a variety of sounds, not just one. It has more versatility than a Les Paul to me with the switching options.

    I love mine, and I'd NEVER lean it on a concrete walk and wall like that! That's not a great sales presentation there!

    I may have come off a little wrong. I don't hate PRS guitars. I'd add one to a collection and it would get some use, but it would probably be fourth or fifth on a list of must-haves, especially considering I'm a 20 yr old college student on a virgin-tight budget.

    It's all good. The poly finish is thick enough to take a careful placement on the cement like that.

    Bands like Creed, POD, and Nickelback ruined PRS for me. Long Live Gibson.
