Re: Am I Nuts? I used to think the same thing about most of the PRS line. For many years, I refused to even play one simply based on their prices. I think I've been gassing for a Les Paul type guitar (mahogany w/maple top) for awhile now. But I've never found LPs to be comfortable guitars. Plus, I do like the flexibility of a 24-fret neck. That caused me to investigate the Custom 24 line. From there, I realized the Santana was a somewhat similar beast, though the neck is very different. When I first picked it up, my thought was "How the hell do people play these things?" 45 minutes later, I'm still sitting there playing it through a Stiletto. I think it was a sort of epiphany. What I really need to do is get my Jem over there before the Santana models clear out and try them both out side by side to make a fair judgement. |

Re: Am I Nuts? what am i missing ? i can't make myself like a single paul reed i have ever played . Tried the se line, the santana 3, a couple of custom 24s and a swamp ash special , none of which i liked in the least bit . They all had good workmanship and looked great but play wise , they weren't to my liking . i guess it is just me . like i said if nothing else they are cool to look at |
