I think PRS are about to announce an abomination

In about 10 mins on their youtube channel. This might be the tele style PRS Myles Kennedy has been seen playing.

Yeah it's a wonky telebastard. AMS had it up and it was taken down, still up on long and mcquade

I definitely don't love it, but I'm not sure if I hate it or not. It has the Vela bridge so thats cool

 

[spawnofthesith]

I wish they'd just release what I really want them to... which is an S2 HB or HBII. Not that interested in neraly $3k signature fender spin offs

wonky telebastard.

I like the name!

Edgy, for PRS.

Telebastard? Pics plz

So I am seeing these. Ehh. Weird pickguard. That headstock still bugs me for non-PRS shapes. Miles Kennedy seems like a cool guy but I have zero desire to emulate him in any way. Other than wishing I had his skills so I could do 100% the opposite of the type of material he does

Web listings all taken down, but the PRS videos are live now. Looks like there are two models, one is an Myles kennedy signature the other is not. Both telebastard shapes




NF 53 looks much better than the MK to me. Not that I'm interested in either

The John Bolinger PGS demo with the burst finish looks like a Carvin turd. Yet I kind of like the finish?

** checks for tummy cut **

NOPE!

Noobs at the other place bitching about the bridge as if that's not one of the best features. They seem to think its something new... been on the Vela for ages, and IIRC it's something Paul designed as far back as the 80s? Love that bridge. Interested in the pickups too. But overall these are a hard pass from me

I really hate the looks. I’m sure it’s a killer guitar… but it looks like a cheap import knockoff to me. I hate the shape of the body

 

[metropolis_4]

I like how they keep saying “T style guitar” in the video

Honestly, if they didn’t say that I don’t think I would’ve even realized this was supposed to be their version of a Tele. It has absolutely nothing in common with a Tele other than not having an upper cutaway

 

[SillyOctpuss]

God they're ugly but the nf 53 sounds cool though. I always liked the narrowfield pickups. Also agree on the bridge it's definitely one of the best features.

Agree. At a glance you don’t think Tele.

Would look cooler without the pickguards, and those outlined bird inlays. Can't stand those.

I could probably fuck with that white one

I saw an instagram video with a blue one I liked too

 

[mbenigni]

I don't really mind it, actually. But that's probably just because I've always found Tele's incredibly ugly to begin with. Especially that headstock.

Hot take or whatever, but this looks like it's been left in the sun too long. Where's the rest?
