Are PRS guitars any good?

[j_m_s]

Tops of the guitar is mostly for looks. if the body is made of the same material then it should sound the same.

Like he said(shioks), its a maple top. But depending on the model, the PRS bodies are usually Mahogany.

I don;t recall there being an all maple prs. or all maple guitar for that matter (I might be wrong)

Okay. I don't really like PRS guitars... their inlays are always the usual ones. and honetly speaking, I kinda hate(hate is a strong word) their inlays.

By the way, which PRS inlays are you referring to?

 

[NachociousD]

Yeah their usually mahogany bodied and maple or satin top. But you know as people always say no 2 guitars sound the same but it should be similar yea?
But what the price difference between the satin top and maple? If its like 200-300 i would rather get the maple top ones they look sexier and if you maintain them well they will last a lifetime.

Its expensive to him but is the word high end right? its not how can you consider a 5 dollar meal high end? Wrong use of language obviously. High end means its the one of the most expensive among general pricing. Example if a meal is ranging from $3.50-$100 . And you get pocket money of $2 yes a $5 meal is expensive. But a high end meal is ranging 60-100 HIGH END. HIGH means high . Ends means dead end. Hence high end means the most expensive quater 1/4 of it kind.

Expensive and High End are two different things.

btw, how the hell can u consider a 4k gibson high end? thats kinda peanuts isnt it?

i dont get it, first u say that its not abt price, high end is what sells the most, so isnt a nissan sunny high end cos i dont see 50grand as cheap and furthermore it outsells lambos and all the other whatnots. then after that you start quoting a price range talking abt your bits and pieces and how many quarters you can make the indivisible 8000 bucks seem. dont worry i understand you can do the math, but then again u are saying gibson is high end cos most of their products are ranged at a certain price? isnt really a truth to what high end gear really is. like i said, its how deep your pockets really are. for one who can afford gibsons all the time, it definitely isnt high end, and furthermore since u really wanna push this topic, i wouldnt call anything that has poor quality control high or at the end of the spectrum unless you are talking abt the negative side, gibson might be the high end of trash IMO, but then, thats my prerogative.

and what in the hell makes u think that a damned thick 1 inch maple cap might just be for looks? might as well slice it into nice little veneers so that you could cut costs and make a whole lot more guitars with it, esp since maple isnt such a featherweight in the wood department in terms of density.

so i was wondering, does ruokangas and huber still qualify for high end? cos after all it does smoke gibson in terms of the price and quality.

btw, just tickle my fancy, NancyD

how many high end guitars have u played? so far for me almost 99.9%, cos everywhere i turn i see fenders, gibsons, ibanez, andersons, suhrs, tylers, goodalls, taylors, martins, santa cruz and it seems like there aint no way i can find one of them which goes under 1k. kinda funny if everything was high end eh? i thought the idea was exclusive. but seems every piece of god forsaken timber thats been milled to a certain shape is effing high end.

Firstly what the hell do you mean, i never said the guitar brands you said were't high end. But Gibson are still high end their still in the similiar price bracket. I asked what the hell was those brands. IF your trying to include antique guitars that cost 100k arent they antiques guitars? Definately a 5k guitar is peanuts to those rare ""antiques"guitars. But how can you justify that 5k guitar isnt a high end guitar. Its price range is after all in that bracket. You fail to understand its not my fault.

I Emphasize EXPENSIVE and HIGH END are two different things. If a nissan sunny is expensive to you it does't mean its high end. It simply means you dont have enough money. A lamboghini you cant afford but why is it high end. Its because its one of the most expensive cars. Again there is antique cars that can be 10 times more expensive but their two different things.

If your rich a 10k guitar might be cheap but its still in the high end range it does't change the fact. Have you went to school? How old are you?

Gibson music maker 1.5k Fender strat standard 1.6k what are you talking about ? Those are their cheaper version.

When did i say under 1k ?

Please do not flame guys....
NachociousD: you might want to edit your last line or whatsoever.. lol. this is just my suggestion....

fender strat have got MIM and MIJ. and MIM, I saw there's one, 1st hand, 900+ only. which is less than one thousand.

EDIT: not missing MIA ones.

"Have you went to school? How old are you?"

I'd ask you the same question.

it should be... "Have you been to school? How old are you?"

and once again. its "they're" not "their"

Its not those rare ""antiques"guitars.. Its. Those rare "antique" guitars.

But how can you justify that 5k guitar isnt a high end guitar, should be how can you justify that a 5k guitar... etc etc.

You fail to understand its not my fault. should be.. You fail to understand so its not my fault.

A lamboghini you cant afford but why is it high end.. Interesting sentence structure..

Again there is antique cars.. There ARE antique cars. not there is..

If your rich a 10k guitar might be cheap but its still in the high end range it does't change the fact.. should be If you're rich.... but the fact that its still in the high end range doesn't change"

Quite lowly of you to comment on someone's education like that when your english isn't too good either.

Fender Standard Strats run around $900. Fender AMERICAN Standard Strats run around $1600.. Completely different series here.

 

[NachociousD]

And the guitars that reach around that 6k-???? bracket are also sold but some of those brands too. And you tell me your the pro of the expensive guitars dont talk shit with me. Have you seen a brand new gibson historic or custom shop? it costs 6k you do the price check.

This particular thread has totally gone out of hand..... We all sound like rockstars.....

NachociousD: There're a lot of experienced guitarist in this forum. Do you think that penta-tonic do not know the prices of these guitars-.- How would you feel if someone ask you how much is the real fender broadcaster and before you could reply, that person say,"dont talk shit with me" and the person try to be cocky and talk as if he knows everything. How would you feel?

so there we have it! a lamborghini is high end cos its one of the most expensive cars, btw, theres an 'r' in lamborghini, without it one might jump to the conclusion that its pirated goods ya know. so point is, i dont see how gibson is high end when its scarcely one of the most expensive guitars, offhand i could name you at least 20guitars which are more expensive and not only marginally so.

and u wanna know how old am i? well lets put it this way, im old enough to be arguing with you, but not on the side of swinging silly statements like a maple cap is just for looks. really shows depth doesnt it?

usually i dont spoil for arguments or lots of posting if u look at my post count, but somehow one just cant resist speaking the truth every once in a while hey. i dont think you get the idea of subjective, actually maybe, you do, just that the term subjective applies to just you and you alone. so maybe you do get it, just in too much quantity to make even the slightest quality.

dude , custom reissues aren't that expensive , only the 59 les paul reissue goes fo 6 grand , the rest go for slightly above 4k . I know my Gibsons .
