I spent some time this afternoon playing PRS guitars in the $2,500 to $5,000 price range. The standout was the semi hollow body. How did it stand out? It was over priced and wasn't that spectacular, but acoustically it sounded pretty alive more so than any of the other models.

Then I played the new SE series import PRS and I liked them better. They felt better neck wise and action wise and the general acoustic tone was virtually no different than their more expensive brethren.

I've played at least 25 new PRS guitars in stores now and have to say that I am completely unimpressed. For the same money you can custom order a Jet guitar.

Some expensive gear is really nice and some is just ho hum. I'll file PRS under ho hum and hopefully save anyone some GAS pains.
