The features on the guitar are nice, gold, and chrome hardware makes it look unique, as well as the purple wood stain paint, has 24-frets for a new introduction of sounds, has one tone adjuster, and one volume adjuster, a 3-way switch, a nice comfortable style, and the bat inlays are just awesome, and unique as well, i feel they could have 2 tones on the guitar, but overall, its a 10 all the way. The quality of the guitar i played was beautiful, and it felt well, there was no problems with the stock pickups at all, no broken hardware, and the finish was perfect, i would definitely use this without a backup, because its durable, and tough, and yes i can depend on this guitar. Another 10 all the way. Hey well with nice guitars such as this one, theres always a high price, but this guitar is below 1000 bucks, if you have the money for it, buy it! Because this is a one of a kind guitar, it would be a essential for your collection of other guitars, or a perfect guitar to play all your life. The guitar my friend bought was around 750 dollers, and thats pretty cheap for such a nice guitar, while the Gibsons i have are like above 1000 dollers, and are of the same quality, of this cheaper PRS. I would buy another if it were ever stolen, because the price is ridicilously low, and it sounds great, its worth it. This guitar is a well made, and cheap guitar, i am happy with it, and i am going to buy it soon too, i love how good it sounds, and all the options you get that make it look good, but its cheap, i think PRS should make more guitars, as cheap, and as reliable as this guitar here. They would be a lot more popular, and more successful.

A fantastic guitar. Amazing neck, screaming, fat pickups and stunning good looks to go with the meaty tone. It looks amazing, and everyone who sees it and plays it is impressed. For me, the best part is, I got it for $499 on blowout, but now that I own it, I would have bought it the higher price had I known about this model.

Played clean you get a 60s sound. Not what was expected but highly usable none the less. It was one of the reasons I bought the guitar as I was in a function band and I needed something that played well, sounded good clean and stands out from the crowd. The nut slots are cut with 9 gauge strings in mind as tens have a tendency to stick but this is easily fixed. When I first opened the case at a gig a small crowd gathered behind me to look in awe as it really is an eye catching guitar and even appeals to non metal audiences. When using a driven sound the guitars playability comes to the fore and fast runs flow. The sound never became muddy regardless of the amount of drive I use.
