THey didn't sell well, which is why they were discontinued. That said, when I went to the PRS Roadshow in August, Howard Leese was playing one, and it sounded FANTASTIC. He ran through all the options - which he didn't have to do since it was already discontinued at the time, and Paul mentioned that. He did it because he wanted to...and man, it's a nice sounding guitar with a lot of flexibility.
 
I'm usually not a fan of guitars with on board preamps but I think that this is the PRS that I would buy just based on the sound in the video.
 
I didn't know they were discontinued....probably explains why they're relatively cheap here at the moment...the one I've got my eye on is around £1600 or $2600...which believe me, is cheap for a USA PRS over here :cry:

It sounds fantastic to me though.
 
The preasmp is what seems to have turned people off, but they ignored the fact that it can be bypassed. Truly, it's a fantastic sounding guitar, have been considering one myself.

PRS discontinued half of the line to make way for their 25th Anniversary models. none of them have that preamp and i doubt you'll see it come back.

there are a couple of Godin guitars that have a re-voicer circuit. you may want to look into those.
