New Guitar Day :)

Some of you may have seen the ad Brian (chronicinsomnia) took out for the PRS Modern Eagle. I have been looking for one for a long time and had to pull the trigger. Even better, he only lives about 2 hours away. I drove out there today and picked her up, amazing amazing guitar. I have been trying to expand my tonal possibilities with the last few guitars, I think I am there. Now I just need a nice fender amp, maybe a vibroverb or a bassman, and a few analog pedals and I'll be all set. Anyhoo, here she is...

By the way, I left positive for Brian, but besides that, he is a great guy and was a real pleasure to deal with. Had to be the easiest transaction ever. Just called him up, spoke for a few minutes, got on the road and he was there waiting when I arrived, guitar in hand.

No, no, no keep on PRS

When I saw you had it already I was thinking "Damn, UPS is getting good" but the local pickup explains it

Very nice addition

Yeah, I am LOVING the Rory Strat also. That is an awesome machine. If you are looking for that real vintage strat sound, this is it, period. And it looks really cool too, I like it anyway. I think it is about the best bang for your buck for vintage strat tone. I got it for $2200 and she is a pretty light one. (I just noticed, you see which one the strap is on...)

The PRS is just an amazing guitar. Not only is it a stunning work of art, but man, it really all comes together when you play one. What tone. Even unplugged she just sings and sings and inspires you, I'm so happy I can hardly stand it

Does that toggle switch being in such an odd spot make it kind of hard to switch between pups?

**GilkyBear** · #7 11-29-2008, 11:50 PM

Nah, it's real easy for me, I actually prefer it there, I can just reach back and give it a quick slap. But the coil split is a push pull on the tone knob, so if I was switching between a coil split neck and a non coil split lead bucker, that might take a second.

Nice score! I've always really liked PRS guitars.

Very nice Kev, your PMC is very out of place now. You better send it to me

Congratz Kev

We need a new group shot of the whole gang now just to make us even more jealous

**jemaholic** · #14 11-30-2008, 09:03 AM

Yeah, the minute I saw that ad I figured you'd be on it. Really nice collection Kev.
Still partial to that damn Rory though......

Thanks guys! I'm trying to get some fresh shots of the whole collection, BUT, we haven't had a sunny day here in forever and I don't have enough stands. I need to go buy 3 more stands
