I mean, I guess I just feel like complaining, because I haven't been the "PRS market" for quite some time now, (they only make like, 1 model of what I like playing right now), like, many years, but I happened to have checked out a couple of new models' pricing this morning, and yeah, they have definitely priced me out of that brand, probably for good, except for the SE's.
My problem is, the S2's don't feel (to me) like a "pre-S2" American made model, so, I can't see fit to spend upwards of $2k on an S2, when you can get a minty older non-S2 for the same or less, and forget the Core line. Those are like RI's to me, can't do it.
This could be that there are more value choices out there than ever before, AND, I'm all about the LP vibe these days, and that's not quite PRS's bag throughout their entire line. For example, I'd definitely spend $2k+ on a new LP these days, but I'd much rather get an LTD EC-1000T, or hell, an ESP version, with SS frets and an ebony board for less than a new LP.
Still though, I'd take a new LP standard or Trad, over a Core PRS, or an LP Studio over an S2, and save some serious coin. I never thought I'd say that, but here we are . . .
