That's beautiful, but I'm weary of a 4-year-old guitar that's never been played.
It’s not an instrument. It’s an investment, just like Star Wars toys and Image Comics. Why would anyone play an investment-grade PRS? It’s not like wood grows on trees in vast managed plantations that ensure a constant supply for generations.

Aha. Well, that makes perfect sense!
I'm considering whether there is a way to roll my Star Wars toys and Image comics into some kind of Roth IRA-type thing, so I don't have to pay taxes on all the MASSIVE capital gains I'm experiencing.

They've been locked up, mang! I totally forgot about them, actually, until we were packing up for this move. If I remember right, I have a bunch of Spawn, Pitt, The Maxx, Shadowhawk, and probably half a dozen others I haven't thought about since the mid-90s.

@Guitar Heel ... I just looked this P245 up. Gawd, so beautiful....
And then I saw the price.....
FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS?
Are they out of their faded denim minds?!?!?
I now know what my next guitar build will be. Fourty fucking five fucking hundred fucking dollars?

Not bad for a PRS. Pretty wood.
Still would not purchase.

PRS = the guitar equivalent of Crocs, cargo shorts, and fanny-packs.

I want to clarify about my comment on the price.
There are guitars that are worth 4 grand out there like a nice hand made acoustic or custom made guitar like the carved top guitars that @dougk makes.
But this 245 is a standard production line instrument. Every single one of them is that price. I just can't see it. Not that many months ago, you could get a single cut carved top PRS for around $2700. Now make this one chambered and add the piezo electronics it's going to be more... maybe $3500. But where is that extra grand coming from? That's just all kinds of crazy.

What?
I love PRSes and am wearing cargo shorts right now.
I'd like that guitar a lot more in a tinted (probably red) finish.
