Nearly 13k for quite ugly?

**Woody Sound** · 10-14-2025, 10:55 AM

Give me one top or the other, but not both on the same Frankenstein git. (O course, jmo.)

Just a moment...

**nyc chaz** · 10-14-2025, 12:01 PM

Yeah,that is about as bad as it gets,the price only makes it more ridiculous.I'd be interested to see how far that price comes down before it is sold.

**Sleeko** · 10-14-2025, 01:46 PM

Stunning! And not in a good way. Looks like they ran out of flamed maple and used whatever was on hand to fill in the blank. Maybe paint it all black? ?

**Jabberwocky** · 10-14-2025, 03:11 PM

That is the reason why some/many/almost everybody except for PRS himself don't like PRS guitars. You gotta be blind to want something like that.

**Rickco** · 10-14-2025, 04:42 PM

What a waste of beautiful wood, hard to believe PRS would think thats an attractive combo. Looks like a first attempt at an electric guitar...gross

I don't think as many people hate PRS as you think.

The look of the guitar doesn't bother me but I wouldn't be paying 13k for it either, lol. It'd look good with some nice boots in a country western band.

Still gots the birds. That's something. Or maybe nothing for me anyway.

If they were that hated as suggested,they would have been out of business long ago and not have sold millions of guitars.I see more and more working pro's with PRS.

Agreed. They are great guitars. The SE Custom 24 I tried was killer. Les Paul levels of sustain with a lot lighter body. The 85/15 "s" pickups seemed really promising sounding. At some point I plan on picking up one of their guitars.

How did your gig go with your new 335 if you don't mind me asking?

Gigs! Man, I had an absolute blast over in AR and MS! Wound up jamming thursday, gigged friday and saturday, and then backed up Robert Kimbrough down at the bluesberry cafe sunday morning in Clarksdale. We went to the Shack Up Inn after that for the Pinetop homecoming and got checked in then got to hear all kind of players there including Anson Funderburgh and Kingfish. Met a lot of blues fans, made some great connections and new friends the whole trip. 11 hour ride back to TX, we left late at night after getting coffee'd up. Sounds like I'm gonna get the invite to do some gigs at the juke joint festival in April. Yeah, it was incredible.

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder, like beauty. In my eye, that's pretty ugly. I would pay less than a tenth of that price, but then I'm not really in the market for a solid-body rawk guitar.

**Woody Sound** · 10-14-2025, 07:30 PM

I love my Custom 24 Piezo. It's not even a "10-Top."

The wide-slim neck on the one I tried out was absolutely outstanding. Three pieces too!

**Dave24309** · 10-14-2025, 07:37 PM

He's getting all the attention he hoped for.

**Bob_Ross** · 10-14-2025, 08:32 PM

Ho. Lee. Fuk.
That is one ugly-ass guitar.

:vomit:

Poor birds, headed right towards the caramel road slick, I bet they'd prefer avian flu to that morass.

Agreed, the price is more off putting to me than the look.

Years ago, I owned a plain Jane PRS Custom 22 with the wide thin neck and his Dragon pickups. It was a superb guitar. But it was a bit too modern for my taste and did not become a keeper.

**joebloggs13** · 10-15-2025, 02:43 AM

Eww... Fugly doesn't even begin to describe that abomination. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

**vintagelove** · 10-15-2025, 10:05 AM

Dear God...

I would argue that their budget SE line is superior to any other company's budget line in terms of the big makers. I tried out a bunch of PRS' at guitar center when I bought the 335 from SE's to used ten top/core line. They were all nice!

**jazzgtrl4** · 10-15-2025, 12:14 PM

i love my PRS Special 22 Semi-Hollow. its basically a poor mans john mayer super eagle. and hey at least this seller isn't going to sell it out from under the buyer.

**Hep To The Jive** · 10-15-2025, 12:21 PM

There are two kind of people in the world, those who really dig PRS, and those who really don't. Both with a passion I believe. Personally I'm the latter. I don't even know why, no logical sense, just a feeling. But it's real haha.
