Very nice, but it needs a floyd.

 

[MetalThrasher]

Always wanted a PRS so I finally got one last week. Plays good but I'm going to swap out the bridge pickup and install a JB this weekend and see how that works.

 

[Warmart]

This came yesterday, flawless!

 

[Dimebag11]

PRS CE 24 Semi-Hollow, sounds nasty!

Man, Ibanez have really stepped up their game imo. I have an old prestige and the guitar is ok, but nothing special. This thing looks slick!

Looks nice man! But this is the longest damn list of specs I've ever seen, yet it doesn't show the name of the color.

Got this on the way

[Mr. Willy]

You guys buy a new guitar every year? I’m must be behind. Or poor. Lol

Always wondering, where the hell some people here pull all the money to buy this stuff?

Before anyone talks about getting a job. I'm employed, but I could never afford buying gear at this pace.

 

[M@tt C]

Picked this up right after the new year- brand new but it had a partially broken headstock that had been professionally repaired, so I was able to negotiate a significant discount.

Dropped a Jalen Fair Warning into the bridge and it's a KILLER guitar!

I want new gear, sure, but I try to be content with what I have. Besides, with three kids in music and dance lessons, all my disposable income goes to other people besides me.
