i had one for a couple years and i sold it about 6 months ago. nice well built guitar. played awsome. i just didnt play it much. watch out though, if you dont like it, its hard to sell at least in my case. i had to chop off about 800 bucks to sell it. i also had the pattern neck and nobody seemed to want that style neck in my situation. good luck though. they make nice guitars.

May I ask what made you interested in this guitar specifically?

I bought the thing because I wanted to try a 22 fret guitar over 25". I got a demo model that was really quite well priced (Euro 2.8k). It also was supposed to sound like midway between a start and an LP. That sure is the case. It suits my playing style (kinda Bluesy). The model´s a maple top.

Oh, cool, didn't know you had one
I'd love to try one sometime. THey seem pretty badass!

They are really quite good. The tonal range is higher than the LP, but also quite broad. It´s like having 4 single coils with 8 tonal taps in all. The singles are single and the Humbuckers are really humming. I´m currently trying out "Fool for your stockings" using the MBritt Matchless JJ Cln- profile and it sounds really good. Bass pickup with s single coil tap. Awesome! Shame the guitarist is just a bit naff...
When I can work out how to upload picks I´ll post one...

Here´s the guitar

I'd love to have a 22 frets PRS. This one looks awesome! Congrat!
Can you get a good strat like neck pickup tone from it?

You can get a quite mellow thing on the neck pickup. Good for "The Wind cries Mary" etc.. I think it's capable of producing quite a wide range of sounds. Played around 4 hours yesterday. Fingers are burning...
