I need some Mental Help!

You can’t put a price on a good time my friend!

One time, I had this girlfriend, visually the best I’ve ever had, expensive, nice style, slim but with curves in the right places and an absolute sculpture of a rack. I mean damn near perfect. 

She was a joy to have nocturnal activities with the first time. 

Then I realised she was stale and horrendous at even kissing.
But the relationship was ok, a bit one sided in her favour, but she made for some excellent astonomy talk. 

Skip forward a year, a long term flaky girl mate comes over. A lot of mileage on the old girl, and it showed. A bit roughed up but she gave as good as she got. 

By gum that was a mindblowing session of swinging from the chandeliers.   


Moral of the story, you have both. 

Enjoy them for what they are. The guitars that is.. 

Found him guys, Swiss Tony is hiding in plain sight on a guitar forum.

Is it really the guitar or the fact it’s a new guitar?
we all get bored of what we have from time to time and playing a new guitar (even one with poor set up etc) can seem more fun than playing our boring old guitar. 
Play the strat for a bit, you’ll get bored and move back on to the PRS then you’ll get bored again and move back to the strat it’s a cycle.

If you don’t need the money just hold onto the PRS. You’ll play it again.

Exactly, one day soon you’ll play something that just doesn’t sound right on the Strat , pick up the PRS and fall in love all over again.

Wouldn't the current advice be to sell them both and buy an R8 or has The Fretboard moved on to a new FOTM?

Lots of wisdom above.
I had a similar tale with a PRS Sat in the cupboard while I played a Tele almost exclusively. 
I'd occasionally take the PRS out and play it for a while but never gigged it.
When I realised I'd not played it in about 6 months I decided to sell it. This was a big deal as I'd owned it since 1991 and was bought in part with money given to me for my 21st.
It sold and I ultimately put some of the money into an EBMM Albert Lee which I had fancied since I first saw one back when Albert was playing the prototype. 
Do I miss it? Yes butt only in a nice to have way. 
Was it a knee jerk decision, no as I hadn't played it in anger in over 5 years. 
Do I love the Albert Lee? Oh yes.

Better than wanting a £3k Strat

It only works if you have a £3k PRS to not play

I'd raise a few eyebrows if I tried to make a fillet steak for lunch at work!

Isn’t a PRS more like one of those overly pretentious nouvelle cuisine meals that leaves you needing to stop at McDonalds on the way home?

You can't compare the Strat to a pot noodle! Spag bol perhaps but not a pot noodle

A Tele is a bit more pot noodle.

The only help you need is not because yu prefer the guitar but because you called it she. That warrants some severe mental assessment.

They can’t all be male!! Where would the baby guitars come from?

Gotta say, that's not a line I was expecting to read in that story!

enjoy both - they offer a different flavour regarding feel + tone, so use as required
