I remember that one guy trade his red EVH for a PRS custom 22 since he wanted more tonal range, he was upset that the ECH did not have a tone pot. The guitar is in close to perfect condition if I recall....

I can understand someone wanting more tonal variety than an EVH can manage - I know I get frustrated with mine sometimes. They are probably the best playing neck in the world, so I couldn't let it go. If you need more variety, it's always better to hold onto what you have and get another axe that does something different - it's that classic strat/les paul thing - you want the best of all worlds - the reality is that no single guitar can do it all (although Mr Morse came close- if only he would add piezo...)- PRS do offer a good range of sounds and play great - I've always said on this forum that I'm a fan of theirs as well as EBMM. At present, I want more of both brands :)

I traded my Les Paul Deluxe reissue for this:

This Axis is the best in my collection - the best I've ever played, period - and I honestly wouldn't sell it if you walked up to me and offered me $4,000 for it... It's magic!

I couldn't agree more. I've owned more than one PRS and while I thought they were good guitars, nothing I've ever played sounds as good or feels better than my Axis. To sell it would mean I was willing to compromise my artistic expression for a few bucks.

I'd think be willing to trade Big Poppa my PRS custom 24 natural quilted ten top with birds for the new Steve Morse model.

If he wants, I could bring it to the open house and we could do the deal there.

I use a PRS SCT and CU22 as my main guitars, nothing compares in sound or quality. I used to own a SS as I wanted a strat type guitar and as good as it was something was missing, I shifted it and bought a Tyler, great quality, awesome tone, very resonant and alive.

In order to get a good PRS you really need to buy something that was made prior to 1994. Those were the last of the hand made PRS's. I think they are still good guitars but not as good as they were and they are totally overpriced now. They are charging hand made prices for assembly line guitars.
