:panic:

if money were no issue, id probably spend about a week defying them, in moral opposition, then sell out and own a bunch of custom prs
if the new ones are nice as the old ones like you say, then they fucking rock

Yeah their new ones are still awesome. They have a new model out called the SC245. It's a singlecut model with a short scale. Man it sounds amazing. I prefer the 25" scale but it's a great guitar nonetheless.

I really want a Standard 24 in the Platinum Metallic finish.

That shit is hot.

Yeah, ill have to check em out at some point. i've just played a few of the "budget line" ones, whatever theyre called. Good guitars, but not enough for the new price.
This guy we used to be in a band with, got his about 16 or so years ago now in egypt, and youd swear to god carvin triple stepped it, the grain in that flame is SOO deep, in this like uber strong esp trans blue finish. Black hardware? its gorgeous. and played like a fucking dream. Absurdly low action, but no buzz, with thick strings, and it resonated like the action was way higher than it was.
The neck was a good clip thicker than an ibby, but still absurdly comfortable, the carve was awesome.

That guitar was the first time i installed EMG's

Yeah the quality of the maple tops are inconsistent. Some are meh, some are beautiful. But all of them are built great and sound terrific. Never install EMGs in a PRS, that's just wrong. You want as much as that glorious natural PRS tone to come through as possible, also PRS own brand of pickups sound killer.

Yeah at that point i was still violently opposed to EMG's (yes, even the 60 ), and didnt understand why hed want to upgrade (downgrade at that point) anyways, as they sounded fucking amazing. He was trying to get a more metal sound out of his fender
dude could fucking SHRED though. hot damn

and man, that blue.
theres a blue EC1000 at the shop here thats way more vibrant than the other blue ones ive seen, and it was like that. its just like OH HAI GUIZE BL000

it was amazing

[zimbloth]

I dig that blue EC1000, its just those silly flag inlays and the cheesy fake abalone stuff that does it in for me. Less is more with LPs.

[daybean]

ya, apologies from me too, its a great looking guitar and im sure it sound great, i guess i let my own personal taste get in the way of admiring such a great guitar, i have always wanted one of these and i am jelouse. REALLY SORRY FOR THE RUDENESS AND ONESIDENESS.

id own one already if it werent for that. i can handle the flags, or the abalone, but not the abalone and abalone flags all together. i still ALMOST get one though often. ive come pretty damn close a few times now.

If you want a really badass ESP guitar, go check out this deal. I owned one of these, I'd put it up there with almost anything I've ever owned. Seriously. This is a closeout price. Buy it before I do.

PS: Sorry to keep getting off-topic, your Standard 24 7-string rules, post more pics though
