Been hankering for a PRS....but not at this price!

So people who own PRS guitars are boring and tasteless (presumably because anyone who buys something that isn't cool is pretty much the standard definition of lacking in taste). That must be pleasant reading to PRS owners on this site.

As a PRS owner (not a dentist) I've never been bothered by these comments - but I understand being right is rarely popular

A study in the US found that only 4% of dentists played guitar. 

But what percentage of that 4% play PRS guitars? ;-)

95% of them. The other, cool 5% play Gibson’s.

Oh but that can’t be right... Gibson QC, according to the Internet (so it must be 100% accurate) is terrible. The neck angles are all wrong, the finishes aren’t well applied and they don’t stay in tune according to all I’ve read on the subject. So it must be true, mustn’t it?

Yep pretty much

Surely the latest PRS’s should be the best as Paul has an extra 35 years experience of building them?

By that logic, Gibson should by far be the best made guitars in the world.

If Gibson was run by Ted and his crew for 35 years, then yes.

Don’t quote me on this, by... pressing the quote button or anything, but I think in some crazy way, that people don’t want guitars with perfect finishes that stay in tune and enjoy bringing their guitars to local luthiers who rub their hands in glee at every neck break.

That’s the reason why PRS will NEVER be cool.

The dentist joke is so tired I just cringe whenever someone inevitably makes it to try and win a few lols.

People seem to be happy to buy an R8 or R9 for 4/5k from a shithouse company like Gibson but it’s PRS owners that cop all the flak. Give it a rest.

As a dentist and PRS owner I prefer the absolute precision of a prs.
It reminds me of the tools I use at work, when I'm charging you lot a fortune to pay for my private stock collection, and my vintage Fender and Gibsons ;-)

Don’t trust him. He put his hands in my mouth and now all my fillings have fallen out.

This forum is rife with anti-dentites

I'd rather have this 1986 example for 1/20th of the price....

Don’t yawn too hard you’ll end up owing @bgmartinsbridge some money.

You don't like that one?

Ok, what do you call a PRS fan who doesn't like tea?

How about... 

What's the difference between a prs and a vacuum cleaner?
When you unplug a vacuum cleaner it doesn't suck anymore.

It’s always interesting in looking at what guitars the PRS haters own.

Never anything fun or exciting just the usual dull old man guitars.

Quite right.

How's the R8, by the way?

Not sure what is older... your jokes or your taste in guitars. Any thread that mentions PRS, give it a few posts and the inevitable morons appear with some lame dentist quips or horrendous dad jokes / puns. Every. Single. Time.
