[Vaiyen]

[wangdexian]

Excluding SE series, I think it's the CEs?

 

[hahahehehoho]

yeah prs

 

[popeye]

so ex siah.

PRS is always expensive. If you want cheap, you can get TGM

Similar, 3 letter abbreviation

PRS is so not worth the money. Why pay 3 -4 K for a factory made guitar? Davis makes a whole lot of money out of kids who think that price equates quality. Cheapest prs i know is 800+. i laugh when i see people show off their PRS's.

 

[hay88]

imo i feel prs lacks ergonomics..along with gibsons...but tone wise killer

a guitar is worth it if you deem it to be so. whatever you own, if someone else thinks it's not worth it, then it's purely a personal interpretation, yes?

price & quality reflection isn't a sure formula, but price dictates the nature of the instrument, more specifically its construction, fittings & make.

how do you know Davis is making lots of money? you mean Swee Lee/ G77/ City Music/ Yamaha Combo shop/ Luther & the rest are not?

So which brands in your opinion are worthy of your dough? Tyler? Suhr? Melancon? Care to explain why on the few points you've provided in your post?

Hey, i'm just telling you guys what i know. Go ahead and buy PRS if you want to. It's not that i'm saying PRS is bad, just overhyped. So are Les Pauls. Just my opinion.

But hey, at least you can SEE that you're paying for quality when you buy a PRS. The newer gibsons all don't have the best finishes on earth, as compared to their near-flawless predeccesors.

I'm a shredder guy la ok, I'm more into Strats and Superstrats.

I like buckethead's les paul custom .... Chioness ...

as a general guideline, the SE models (Korean) are more affordable than the std PRS offerings. the CE models (bolt-on) are the most affordable in the latter offerings.

PRS CE22

PRS SE Std

 

[ItAcHi]

the SE standard looks extremely beautiful to me...how much is it selling at davis??

I totally disagree with you. subversion. You say that "a guitar is worth it if you deem it to be so"... That means you support self-illusions in guitars. That was why I disagree with you back in the other topic regarding Heavenscloud's dilemma. And gave more handy tips compared to your comments.

"price dictates the nature of the instrument, more specifically its construction, fittings & make. how do you know Davis is making lots of money? you mean Swee Lee/ G77/ City Music/ Yamaha Combo shop/ Luther & the rest are not?"

You couldn't be more wrong! You don't seem to get the whole picture of manufacturing, don't you? PRS uses the same machinery as other mass-produced guitar brands. It's a corporate company now, no longer the PRS we know years ago. PRS uses CNC tech to ensure quality products, and use unethical marketing strategy to jack the prices up. They use Paul Reed Smith's history, and limit supply of their guitars. This artificially inflates selling prices. Don't forget brand perception, blah blah.

Also, after investing in machinery (which isn't a lot, venture capitalists and loans will take care of that), they buy lumber in TONNAGE (which is cheap, you get bulk discount)! This goes against Paul's practice of manual yet discriminating selection.

You seem unable to read DeathCubeK's statement regarding PRS. Are you illiterate? Does "Swee Lee/ G77/ City Music/ Yamaha Combo shop/ Luther & the rest" sell PRS?? Real dumb, you are.

As an authorised dealer, Davis buys PRS guitars somewhere around 40-50% of their selling prices. You do the math, boyo.
