You're welcome to try mine if you're ever in SW London (although I ain't selling it!)
I think that 90's gibsons are my favourites in general, but there's definitely something about the custom that I haven't found in anything else yet,
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Apart from the weight issues it has everything you want.
Whats the ballpark figure for something like that??
One point I'd make; going from a Black LP Custom which oozes cool, to any PRS which is the least cool guitar ever, to play punk on doesn't really seem viable to me.
It's like having a Ramones tee shirt made by Hugo Boss's Lewis Hamilton range.

As for punk/rock bands using PRS guitars- I think that misunderstands how much the brand has moved on and how much punk has moved on too.
Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Sleeping with Sirens come to mind- there are loads of others.

Football is rubbish.
I play similar stuff on an SG having always been an LP-only player - get the right pickups and you should have all the bottom end you need. It wouldn't be the stoner rock guitar of choice if they all sounded thin. Definitely don't quite have the full fat tone of a good LP though but you do get used to it.
We are coming up to 25 years of production so there are plenty around.
Take your time looking. Weights are variable.
It sounds like you are very fond of your guitar so the concept of "retiring" it makes sense. You can enjoy it at home.
Mine will be played at home and recorded, but not gigged heavily anymore.
Yep PRS have been a main brand for any kind of high gain music for at least 15 years now.
One of the reasons I bought my PRS SC is its 2lb lighter than my Les Paul. They do sound different though I like both.
I have always wanted to try a PRS, but have always though tthey'd be too flashy or pricey for me.
WHat's their aggressive sounding singlcut for me to try?? They always seem quite refined to me, although I may be wrong!!
As far as tone goes, the US Tremonti is a great rock guitar with a pretty aggressive bridge pickup. I'm not sure if they're doing a hardtail right now though, most Tremonti models have the trem which you might not want. Tremonti was a Les Paul player before going to PRS.
I think the older SC250 model had hot pickups, but you'd have to check as the specs of some models have changed a bit over the years
