I wish they would use a bridge and stop bar on their guitars. I would like the option to add a Bigsby or a Duesnberg vibrato but can't without drilling into the body.

You want the Starla.

 

[CBHScott]

Want.

 

[Aahzz]

So hot, so hot.

 

[335clone]

That's kinda nice

 

[Chad]

You want the Starla.

I don't want any of them

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Lose the f-holes.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

This is a PRS I would almost consider owning.

This is going to be a great guitar for all the boomer musicians whose bad backs can’t even tolerate the weight of a PRS semihollow.

Hot hot hot

 

[telecaster911]

I wish they would stop angling the bridge.

 

[jp_nyc]

I wish they would stop angling the bridge.

Why?

 

[Wyatt]

I wish they would stop angling the bridge.

Angling allows any wraparound to be swapped in.

 

[GAS Man]

Creates a bit of consternation for me. I have the Zach Meyers model on my GAS list, and now this critter comes along.

In looking at the specs, they both have the same PRS bridge, which is good; the Hollow Body Std has a mahogany top with an ebony FB and PRS 58/15 "S" and the Zach Meyer semi-hollow has a maple cap with a rosewood FB and 245 "S" pickups.

A true GAS'r would just get both.

But no spare room in the herd right now.

Same. I have a strange itch for one of those Trampas Green semi-hollow SEs.

 

[tiger roach]

Crap I am lusting after these now. I thought I was immune to GAS.

Maybe a hot wing will take my mind off of it.

Ugh. That's the big turnoff for me. That's a pretty hideous green, IMHO (granted I find must green dyes hideous).

I dunno, I've seen pictures of them that look pretty nice, and ones that look kind of nasty.
