So were the guitars.
I don't think I've every played one. When they came out, they seemed like a guitar that no one was asking for.
Perhaps it's time for history to repeat itself.
My thoughts as well. I don't remember anyone mentioning them until they went on clearance at MF.I don't think I've every played one. When they came out, they seemed like a guitar that no one was asking for.

yeah, it wasn't good.Especially with that 3 piece top. Gross.
Here's the guitar that it likely is, albeit with a different pickguard and other specifics...
.
Every PRS except the santana is really just a carved top strat shape wise anyways.
I owned one of these and liked it quite well.... but there are some noticeable differences in the Mayer PRS. The body is bigger. Big enough to accomodate a top jack while still allowing the pickguard to flow with more strat type lines.
Also the pickups look a bit more standard. Those changes along with the standard PRS trem and locking tuners are quite an attractive combination to me. If they can price it under 2K then they'll have a winner.
Only if it infringes on Fender's headstock, which this one clearly doesn't. Fender whiffed decades ago on trademark enforcement.If it's too Stratty, they'll have a lawsuit. These may be for John only...again to keep a PRS in his hands. Albeit one that sounds, plays, and looks like a Fender Stratocaster.

the standard PRS double cut shape was achieved by Paul literally tracing an old LP Special doublecut, and a Strat, and drawing the line between the two. So, in that regard, even his original design was heavily influenced by classic guitars.As has been mentioned, the original PRSes were basically LP Special DC bodies...not unlike the Hamer Sunburst, but baring that one model, Paul has since stuck to original profiles and unique takes on classic configurations.

I was a little weirded out when I saw the first PRS singlecut, but now I'm used to that shape, and even prefer it. I also really liked the DC3 (and owned one), and would do so again. That said, I can't see PRS putting out a straight-up Strat clone anytime soon.
Most definitely and you can pick up the Mayer model PRS amp for $5,990. Sorry, that's just for the amp head.Mayer was back to his Fender last night on Kimmel. PRS amps were well represented tho.
