I think PRS are about to announce an abomination

[gonzoknife]

I kinda like them but I don't $2900 kinda like them

 

[metropolis_4]

I wonder if they would be better received without the Tele reference?

Inviting comparisons to a guitar it has so little in common with couldn’t help. Everyone is just going to complain about everything that’s not Tele-ish about it rather than judging it by it’s own merits

 

[SillyOctpuss]

I could probably f**k with that white one

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

I'll probably go and check them out when they hit stores just to see what the pickups are like.

Looks like a Godin.

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

NF = "Not Fender" aka stop with the lawsuit stuff please.

That headstock still bugs me for non-PRS shapes.

Yeah, after seeing these guitars for so long, it just seems weird.

 

[TSJMajesty]

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

I still say Paul is still playing it safe. I bet he had to spend a shit-ton of money defending the SC against Gibson.

Reminds me of a Godin Session Custom.

I kinda like the looks of this

I kinda like the looks of this

I don't mind it, but don't love the trem bridge, or that Godin insists on putting another logo on the pickguard (sometimes it's on the headstock, pickguard, and each pickup, on other models... ).

 

[TubeStack]

Actually, it might be on the pickups too, with this one, can't tell from that pic.

 

[TubeStack]

Anyway, I would like to see the PRS with rosewood board and no birds... still not crazy about it, though.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Someone at the other place said that the bridge plate is steel vs. aluminum on the Vela. I wonder if they'll make the steel version available in the mod shop....

 

[spawnofthesith]

I kind of like the blue

Yeah that annoys me too. Text shouldn’t be on the body. I dislike it on a Strandberg even knowing there is no headstock to put it on.

[TSJMajesty]

What's the 53 mean? Anybody know?

 

[la szum]

Paul Reed Smith has always had questionable taste in aesthetics.

Fight me.
