Never seen a PRS hardtail like that. I would be interested in that bridge over their wraptail or two piece designs.
 
Other than the rubber knobs, I like it... but a couple things keep me from loving it. 20" radius on a wide-thin neck. Ugh... very Ibanezzy.

Howie, I agree... I'd like to see them use this bridge on some other models.
 
Wouldn't be the PRS I choose, but I sure wouldn't kick it out of bed either.

I'd want it in the green or that brown/gold sunburst.
 
Some of the cosmetic decisions make it look like a bad knock-off.

Not for me.

Plus, I believe the great single feature of a PRS is their great trem.
 
I have never liked that transparent black over a quilted top. For some reason it makes the guitar look like a cheap knock off to me.
 
meh.

I own a 1990 Custom in whale blue with birds, flame 10 top PRS trem, and a sweet switch...this guitar is like a limited (as in lacking the expressive and sound options one can get from a trem) version of that guitar with an unnecessarily flat fretboard. I'm in the seemingly HUGE minority in that I prefer the rotary pup switch to the toggles and blades of the last 15 years or so from PRS.

Love many a guitar that PRS makes, but this isn't one of them.
