Impulse Lunchtime NGD!

What's Hot

in Guitar
My work is very near GuitarGuitar in Edinburgh and I go most fridays - I made a rule to not go the rest of the week :) And prob just as well as I went in today and played this - bought it after 10 mins...

Never thought I'd have a PRS as I have never liked any of them really.... It sounds fantastic though - all that mahogany and lovely sustain :)
I have been looking at Gordon Smith guitars around the same price new but this just instantly felt good.
I was paying for it as a guy literally ran in the store to buy it too! He said he already has one but saw this and ran from his work to collect it.

    That's looks great @Vaiai and I'm sure Mrs Vaiai will be happy it's not another Suhr. 

    Have you found a buyer for your Charvel yet?

    That's great. Although I think I saw it - black start with white pickguard? 

    I was in there yesterday. Didn't try any of the PRS as was looking for P90 styles to try and they only had a thinline. Played a green Revstar with P90s which was lovely and a Squier Jazzmaster deluxe which was surprisingly nice for the money - with better pots and maybe a pickup swap it would be a cracking guitar for the money.

    This is exactly why I'm glad the guitar shop around the corner isn't very good...

    Congrats on the NGD, its a stunner and sounds like you only just got it in time!

    Check out my band Coral Snake if you like original hard rock!

    I tried a mate's Mira some time ago. Nice axe :) Enjoy!

    ^^^ Yep, and the old shape Mira is much nicer than the current S2 one.

    Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

    I was looking at that this morning on their website too!  Great price for the flame topped version - good score, well done.
