On hold again - PRS USA Core Mira £650

DrCornelius

I picked this up from the lovely ASW on here a few weeks back on a whim. I fancied trying a proper PRS as I hadn't played a USA one since my CU24 many moons ago (ha ha).

I've nicked Andy's photos as they are way more tasteful than my usual guitar on a sofa efforts !

I'm selling it for what I've paid for it which I think is pretty good.  I'm expecting delivery of interstellars Truxton tomorrow and need to pay for it. The PRS is really well made, very easy to play buy it's not 'me' enough to go overdrawn for.

Cheers

Plural? I only see one pic.

I could, possibly, get interested in this guitar if I knew about the finish on the back of the neck and the headstock.

I'm on it FF, piss poor camera phone at the ready.

DrCornelius

How's this @Funkfingers , it comes with the ohsc, candy, coil tap switch etc

Looks very nice.

I need to research what woods went into the Core series Mira models and decide whether I could compromise on the neck position pickup being displaced by those two extra frets.

DrCornelius

Thanks FF and no worries.  Not sure where you are but if you can get your hands on 6 huskies and a sled you are more than welcome to come down and have a no obligation strum.

I have an abominable Škoda.

DrCornelius

Ah, not ideal then :-(

Dominic

Lovely looker.........bet it plays great ........really liked these when they came out ;great guitars....good colour too

DrCornelius

Cheers Dominic,  it's great and all that but I can't see me playing it over the new Feline. I wish that wasn't the case as I'd get about 3 times as much if I sold that instead !

That looks like my old one, which I sold on the forum.

Mahogany generally, some were Korina some had a Flamed Maple cap ontop of the hog body.

DrCornelius

According to this review its all mahogany (I assume mine is a 2008 because of the serial ?)

I sold it to DaevidJ but actually I think mine was powder blue.

Useful - especially the final two paragraphs.

"... it simply delivers that classic mahogany/humbucker sound ..."

"... Knaggs sees the guitar as an "empty palette" ..."

In other words, a bit SG-ish without the disadvantage of actually being an SG. A potential host for Oil City Winterizer II humbuckers, methinks.

DrCornelius

Mr Bump, couple of serious enquiries but no trigger pulling yet.

DrCornelius

On hold for a Facebooker.

Looks a decent guitar for the money

Thanks MM, the guy is supposed to be collecting it this weekend, driving all the way from London. If it doesn't happen it'll be back on here as I need to pay for something else :-)
