Oooh yeah... Just picked this up! Here are some pics of my new
baby... http://www.techdev-solutions.com/pictures/P1010019.jpghttp://www.techdev-solutions.com/pictures/P1010020.jpghttp://www.techdev-solutions.com/pictures/P1010021.jpghttp://www.techdev-solutions.com/pictures/P1010022.jpgThey
don't really do it justice but i's better than nowt!  This guitar kicks arse... Great meaty tones... oooooooh yeah! I was lucky
to get this... It was actually held for someone else who had ordered it back in June but
had failed to pick it up despite numerous calls by Sound Control. So it's actually never
been out on display or played before.  Damn, it sounds sweet though the Cornford cranked up.... ooooh yeah! The
workmanship is outstanding. The top isn't a 10 top but it's got some nice flame on it...
again, the pictures don't do alot of justice really... and those birds... mmmm...

Hi, Dave is it really that good? (don't answer that!) I was over in
Houston USA last a few weeks back, and I managed to get time to pop into Soutpaw Guitars!
WOW! What a place Left heaven! I went in there with the money and the desire to
leave with something but due to money/baggage I only had space for 1 guitar purchase..
 Now I sat and played Les Paul and various PRS and I really had spent a long time
thinking about geting one of these... Unfortunately neither really did it for
me... However a very nice MArtin D28-V did and I picked it up... But seeing
this thread and knowing that that shop has a range of these PRS hanging on the wall
waiting to be bought is giving me sever doubt...  I really
do like the D28 BUT I LOVE playing electric... Now maybe I need to convince my
work that fligths to Houston should be booked as I forgot something.... The
green eyed monster... Cheers Steve

Stvy:
I found Southpaw guitars website not long ago and they only have 3 or 4
PRS's listed...
Read my thread on PRS/Gibson experience... For me, the tone of
the PRS was was way above what the Gibson had to offer. Other people may see it
differently and prefer the Gibson tone... It is, after all, subjective. I was lucky and
found this one which sound equally as good as the one i tried on last Saturday when i was
trying them out for size.

I just love the way it matches the carpet perfectly (though to be truthful it could do
with a bit of a Hoover running over it - carpet looks fine though  ) >;o))
