I purchased a Custom 24 and I am totally blown away on its versatillity. It comes out tof the case in near perfect tuning. I went to a heavier string .011 and the transition was very easy with a simple truss adjustment. The sounds that you get are awesome only matched by the ease of playing it. I play through a Mesa DC-10 and the match is perfect. However, I might change the p/ups to a heavier tone/sound...I just don't get the punch of my Les Paul...However I own a PRS and most of my musician friend now hate me...ohh well...just get one.

Dude, someone up there plugged a PRS into an MG Stack ?? Are you nuts, what a waster of money ??

An awesomely frickin cool PRS won't even show half of its tonal fineese when your playin it through an MG !!!

Sell your PRS, buy a good Ibanez, and a Mesa Dual/Single Recto, you won't regret it !!!

Or, buy a tube amp today !!!

I played this guitar at Guitar Center (I think or maybe somewhere else) and I wish I could afford one.

Sell a PRS for an Ibanez???!?!?! Thats like trading a Ferrari for a Grand am!!! Granted a MG is not exactly a choice amp, but keep the PRS and save up for that Mesa!

i like ibanez.... granted theyre a hell of a lot cheaper and probably not as good for some crazy rich guitar enthusiast, but ibanez's shouldnt be compared to a grand am.... more like trading in a ferarri for a BMW at least.... give em some credit lol.

I know these gitars play and sound fantastic, but do they not seem a little soul less up close to anyone?

I know there better made ad set up, but i still think gibson les pauls have like 20 times the personality and appeal of a PRS

Please dont think im dissing PRS, but they just seem a little lifeless

I have no idea what you mean when you say "lifeless" and "soul less". And that it doesn't have personality. Do you mean the looks or what?
In my opinion the PRS is one of the most beautiful guitars on earth. A piece of art.
I have a Standard 24 in platinum silver, and I see and hear nothing but beauty.
Les pauls got nothing on PRS, imo.

(and its really true. They stay in tune like forever

Don't worry, I understand where you're coming from. There's a lot of guitars I've found pretty unspiring, even within the PRS lineup.

IMO, this is the real Ultimate Guitar!! Perfect in every aspect I can think. My dream is to own (at least) a pair of them. With that, I could cover almost everything I play. And well, compared with Les Pauls (I have nothing against them, I love them too, in fact), they feel and look much better. But well, that's just the opinion of a PRS-lover to death xD

I'll give you the fact that Ibanez play like a cheap PRS, But PRS are sooooo much better than Ibanez (imo). I started on Ibanez and would still own one as a back up or a beater guitar.

But I'd still have to say PRS is Lamborghini, and Ibanez is a G8. The Lambo is better in every way, but you don't want to scratch it!

Hey! I'm with you, buddy. Ibanez GAX 70. My guitar. It's not bad, but man! After playing this PRS, it's like nothing else is even a guitar anymore!! ugh, i need moneys. and what's this i read about "soulless?" have you ever actually played one of these? this thing practically connects souls with you to make amazing sounds come from four fingertips with no effort! it's like you become one in a state of guitar nirvana, and all you can do is scream amazing music! "soulless" you say? this guitar has enough soul to be a person.

I'd love a PRS, but I'd be so worried about chipping or damaging it I'd be shitting myself every time i remove it from the case....

I've got an ibanez, they're great guitars and you don't have to worry about ****ing the paint job up!
