^The body and neck look alot like a PRS. Could be wrong. But thats whet it looks like.
i didn’t know PRS had a hollow-body model. it’s a beauty, whatever it is.
^ ;D
Nice grabs.
I have a Martin Acoustic.
I love it. The sound that comes out of it is great and shit, if they are good enough for Johnny Cash (and Trey!) they are good enough for me.
Martin Guitars are the shit! Easily the best sounding acoustic instruments available.
I do love my Guitar Hero controller though
I have a Brian Moore iGuitar2.13, and I won’t be changing any time soon. Its sick because besides being a solidly built instrument with good tone, it has a piezo in the bridge to make it sound like an acoustic, and a 13 pin RMC midi imput for synths effects if you so desire.

I also have an acoustic koa Washburn, which for 350, isn’t half bad at all.
b, that is one of the greatest quotes of all-time, that’s going in my favorites!
The guitar that’s currently in my avatar is my main guitar - it’s an Ibanez Artwood series middle-of-the-line type acoustic/electric. I love how it plays, and the EQ gives me plenty of low end for when I wanna be crunchy or add extra bump to the beat.
I also have this other acoustic - a dark brown throw-around for the house that’s much more fun now that I put a lighter gauge set of strings on it …
Then I’ve got a pair of electrics, one is crap and the other is great (a Godin … LP90 I think?).
I’ll have to get some pics sometime and shove 'em in here. That Godin’s pretty.
I have some guitar’s and they all suck. But it’s not about the guitar, it’s what you can do with it, and I’m great a looking good with a guitar. I’ve got a Squire Telecaster and a cheap Fender knockoff. I’ve also got a real Fender Strat that doesn’t work. Hmm…a Yamaha acoustic, which is probably the nicest sounding guitar in my house and what I fuck around on mostly. I’ve been trying to get into playing a bit more bluegrass and rootsier stuff, so my electrics have just been collecting dust for a while. One day I’ll dish out for a nice semi-hollowbody, but guitar’s are so expensive.
if my comp wasn’t f’d, i’d post pics, but oh well. i have a few from over the years. i could sell at least one of them, but i attach too much sentimental value to some objects and i simply can’t sell a guitar.
my first electric (purchased when i was 18 i believe): Washburn semi-hollow HB-335 copycat. kind of cheesy with the gold hardware, but it really does have great, warm tone and lots of sustain. it suffers from many other problems, because it’s a cheap-ish knockoff guitar, but still i love it.
second purchase: Fender Tele thinline semi-hollow. this is my favorite. american made, natural finish with tortoise binding and pickguard. just a great guitar. i see they’ve become pretty popular over the last few years. i feel really lucky that i bought one that appears to be very unique and not easily found among some of the more mass-produced models. i tried to have the stock single coils replaced with some nice, fat sounding humbuckers a while back, but everyone i brought it to refused to alter this guitar! so, yeah.
guitar #3: Rickenbacker 620 in “flameglow” red. i used to play this one almost singularly for a while, but it’s been gathering dust ever since i then went out and purchased the…
Gretsch 6122 Chet Atkins Country-Classic. i can’t say enough about this thing, so i won’t.
i also own a crappy Alvarez/Yamaha acoustic. i’d really like to look at some Guilds though.
Yeah me neither. But those are very PRS type characteristics
it’s a PRS. my brother has one. very punchy guitar. very nice. they actually make a couple different hollow-bodies.
nice axes everybody
i have no pic’s to show
but here is the run down
1st Guitar purchased: Hohner Countryman Dread, prob made in and about 1993-1994, $100 guitar, I prob play this more than any other b/c i can beat the shit out of it and not care, plus it just plays so easily and I have broken it in the most.
2nd Guitar purchased: 1997 Fender Roadhouse Strat: has the texas special pickups, I play it through a Hughes & Kettner Edition 1 Solid State practice amp, and generally run through a Digitech RP 200 and a Steve Vai Wah pedal, though I haven’t played much electric guitar in the past year or two
3rd Guitar purchased: 1994 Taylor 410 Dread, with a booming sound, this guitar can belt out some open chords, I have drowned out many of other pickers while strumming this guitar at a regular attack, if i go at it, it really is a loud acoustic, great EQ on it too, from the booming bass to the ringing trebs to the smooth mid range, this thing is my fav guitar, but also probably least played b/c I baby it too much and b/c I just don’t play guitar as much as I used to b/c of time constraints
Back in HS, College I’d play anywhere from 30 min’s to 4 hours a day, College was the best b/c a lot of time there wasn’t much else to do other than blaze and jam, and boy let me tell ya i did a shit ton of that in college
I have no desire for another guitar at this time, If I was to get another guitar it would probably be some sort of Semi Hollow to Hollow body electric, but I have no reason to purchase one other than to hear myself play it.
I don’t really play in bands, sometimes i’ll jam out with friends, but a majority of my playing is done for my ears only as it is the best way to self meditate and self medicate, nothing is more soothing than just playing and loosing yourself to the sound
There are a lot of times when I play that I find myself enjoying the sound coming out of my own hands more so than just about all concerts I’ve ever seen, simply b/c I am creating it. Don’t get me wrong, concerts are great and all, but they really don’t compare to when you just lose all space and time to what you are creating yourself, that is where the real art comes from and generally can’t ever be duplicated
keep on picking you pickers of the pah
i’m gonna try to make an effort to pickup my axes more often
That’s an awesome way to put it. I can lose myself when I’m playing so easily. I’ll start playing and before I know it, 3 hours have passed… I just love that. And it’s not even the complexity of tunes that make me lose myself, I can lose all sense of time just on two chords. It’s so much fun and that’s why I love it.
Yes it’s a PRS Hollowbody II and it is indeed a beauty - oh, and it sounds about how good it looks.
Bought it in NYC in '04

gorgeous!
must have been a huge wallet strain, though.
^^Mmm those PRS hollowbodies are sweet. I’ve got a few guitars, the primary of which is a PRS Custom 22. I’ve got pictures and I’ll post them in a bit, off to school for now…
Yeah the wallet took a bit of a punching, no doubt. But a guitar like that should last a lifetime and I play nearly every day so in terms of value for money it works out okay. Also, I bought it in the states and saved an absolute bundle compared to buying it here (even factoring in the cost of air tickets) so i always thought that if I go off the guitar I could sell it and not lose too much in the deal - instruments like this hold their value quite well.
niiiiiiiiiice.
do you find it difficult to play?
