Which prestige did I see?


WOW

I walked into a music store and my jaw hit the floor! There was a neck-through prestige with an S body and Hum-Single-Hum configuration hanging up. Is it worth $1800 CDN?

Yeah, I like it better than my s2170....but I'd have to play it.

I think we'll see something similiar when the 07 guitars come out.

What is the model name and is it worth what I said it was selling for?

That's sweet! I want one! If anyone finds any info on purchasing this please post it.

edit: Oh. I just noticed the ZR-Trem. I'd have to think about that.

It's the S-20065 Prestige Ltd Edition I believe. It's good value coz it's made in Korea.

It's a good thing Korean quality has been stepping up considerably these days, or that post will be questioned.

That S is nice, but I prefer the 2170 for its satin finish and bolt-on neck.

Who said anything about quality ?? All I'm saying is that the same guitar built in Japan would be about 30 - 40% more expensive, so it is good value in comparison
