Hello all,

My wife made me do it. This came home with me on Valentine's day

[Blocked Image: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a634/Gary_W_/IMG_1280_zps0856a7aa.jpg]

It's a PRS Stripped '58.

I love the looks but, due to mineral streaks not being to everyone's taste then some may feel different it either looks suitably vintage or imperfect depending on your viewpoint ;).

Sound-wise, it's fabulous. Rings beautifully and it comes through the Kemper - It's got the 57/08 pickups (the ones that are wound on the thigh of the woman who drove Robert Johnson to the crossroads. Or that's the story I heard anyway). Whatever they've done, they sound great..... Low output and the Kemper loves them.

There was a film in the UK a few years back called 'Shirley Valentine'. Due to the mineral streaks, the voicing and the day I got the guitar she's now called Dirty Shirley. And I spent some time tonight getting to know her through Andy's new Dirty Shirley profile.

Anyway, very happy with it so thought I'd post

Thanks

This one really 'feels right' and the vintage style pickups are perfect in my book. They would be too tame for many but I can't do the speedy playing widdly diddly stuff!

As my fingers are so slow, I need the beauty of a decent pickup as each note hangs around for a long time..... It's my argument for buying a decent guitar - with my playing you get to hear each note because it takes a while for me to play the next one. I think that's why I'm obsessive about harmonic content and the overall tone and am in love with the Kemper and guitars that shine through it

Yes, I'm a lucky man on both counts! Gorgeous guitar and wife

27 years now. I didn't play guitar until years after we met and, whilst there is only one of her, there are 12 guitars now. Whoops!

I think that part of our long-lasting success is that she knows where I am! If I'm not working or doing something with the kids, I'll be hitting the wrong note at the wrong time in my man-cave
