New PRS Vela

[pryde]

The 'blingness' of PRS guitars has always put me off.

Can't be doing with acqua transparent finishes, AAA+ flame book matched top, bird inlays, fancy schmancy stuff.


I like the look of some of the S2 series though. The Starla with bigsby also looks nice.

I think PRS reputation for quality stands out. You don't hear about many lemon PRS's 

I agree. Even the Korean SE series put many domestic guitars to shame in the US. I feel guilty charging people for a setup on them as they are often damn near perfect right out of the box.

Looking great!
Interesting that there is much love for the Mira, I noticed it right away as well, great looking guitar and works great.

Hardly ever visit guitar stores any more, but dropped in the other day and there were two import PRS on the wall. Best playing guitars in the whole place, and there were some very high end guitars in there. Felt like quality instruments, too.


I can't get past how they look, though. To my eye, they were also among the worst-looking in the place.
