I don't think so...because a PRS is not a vintage guitar. The Fender was expensive because of its date, that is, early 60's. Maybe manintherain could tell us his opinion about that... Really, I don't think so... PS: the first one he sold was worth about £1950...for example... -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top

The Fender went for quite a decent price due to its age an due to its previous owner to an unknown collector. Mike himself mentioned way back in 1983 that these guitars are the modern Stradivarius. My guess would be that the PRS Custom wouldn´t even fetch more than maybe 3000 or 4000 quids. I might be proven wrong. Edited by manintherain on May 19 2009, 16:35 Back to top

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: May 21 2009, 04:09 At the risk of getting hung,drawn and quatered i really don't get that excited by PRS guitars.I've played a few and while i can see they are flawlessly made and beautifully finished they feel almost too perfect and over built.  part of this is down to me being a traditionalist and loving Gibson and Fender guitars and partly it's down to my preference for guitars that i wouldn't mind getting the odd dent and scratch in (anyone who's seen the front of Meg my lovely acoustic will agree-scratched to hell but even better to play than the day i bought her).For example my dream guitar would be a nice SG Junior like Mike's,over the flashier SG Standard or Custom.Problem there is they haven't made them for years so i'd be forced to look at vintage peices which i wouldn't dream of paying for.An old guitar is an old guitar.Nice to look at but way over priced.If they did a modern re-issue at the equivelent price then that's the one i'd go for.The Junior was a 'Budget' guitar for those who couldn't afford a Standard.I'm not a heavy handed player and i do love and look after my guitars but they get scratched in the course of a gig.  I'd be scared to death of getting a scratch in a PRS.They are,in my opinion,way over priced.Some go for in excess of £5000! -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.
