GAS attack

I just got back from the local guitar shop....still looking for a tele. didn't find the tele, but they had a PRS soapbar II that, turns out...is a really cool guitar. I had seen it in there before, but never really looked at it. It has 2 P-90's, a stopbar tailpiece, 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3 position switch. tele like in its simplicity. it is really light (i thought it was chambered..but alas..no.... but a mahogony body) vintage cherry finish... it has a great set neck...reminded me of an old les paul junior. I ALMOST bought it on the spot. but my frugal nature did not allow that. instead I came home and did some price checking. turns out, the local shop has a great price on it...cheaper than MF. $454.00 with courdora gig bag...hmmmm.... I may have to go back and get it....tele acquisition would have to go on back burner for awhile....hmmmm.

Yeah....I have been looking at that guitar.....what does it sound like?

to me it sounds like a 195? les paul junior.

Mmmmm......I'll have to go play one. I also like the simplicity.

I bagged a PRS singlecut soap bar. Same set up as the II on ebay a few weeks ago. $650. It has Fralin P-90s and also came with the stock p-90s which I have not heard. It has a big fat '59 type neck. It is killer! I was going to get a Gibson, but why bother. Save the coin and get the PRS.
I'd go back and grab that one if it sings for you. Every one sounds different. Same goes for Teles.
