Gorgeous this

8 pics now showing so it’s either me or the gremlins. Agree with the comments above, that has a fantastic understated elegance; I really like it.

RevMatt

Yep, love it, although at first I thought it had a solid metallic look to it (from the first 2 pics) a bit like the copper and blue colours they offered, but then the other pics show is as more of a classic trans cherry.

Yes, I thought exactly the same.  Strange effect of the shadows in the cased shots.

I had to re-do the picture so no not gremilins. It does appear different depending on the light and how you look at it, which is why I showed a few photos. In the flesh it is more of a Classic vintage SG type cherry red. I think it's the contours that can make the colour change.

Bumpster!

Hope i dont sound mad but is there a price shown?! I am on my ohone so could be a software thingy on my end...

Leiversalone

It would have been great if you had sounded mad, but no unfortunately it was an error on my part, the price was mentioned in the comments but now it's where it should be. Looking for £1250 posted

Back up to fund expensive Charvels . . .

Bump at £1200 before I make the fatal error of plugging it back in and then withdrawing from sale again . . .

Possible trade against a nice R8 . . ?

Leiversalone

£1100 or swap for a cool surfboard, some masters of the universe figures and a bottle of whisky. 

Leiversalone

After watching Let there be rock for the 100th time I'm keeping my SG and letting this one go as although this one actually sounds better it doesn't look like the devil

Leiversalone

I really can't decide which PRS to keep out of this or my McCarty, 2 of the best PRS's I've owned (and I've had about 30) but not much love for the McCarty so I'll try putting this beauty again. It looks quite Christmassy and sound like an angel singing. Happy to post for FREE!

ToneControl

did you verify that they are Dragon pickups?

Leiversalone

Oh yeah. I had them out before I bought it 2 years ago. I was specifically after them as they are my fave PRS pups. This standard actually has better sustain than the McCarty, but there are certain things I prefer about that one too. It's killing me trying to decide which one goes. Usually there's a clear winner/loser when I need to let something go.
