2nd of all. I really don't consider a handmade gutiar a guitar whose body and neck were made from a machine, but the rest done by several other people.
Nothing special for each gutiar to be throughly expected. Many companies do that.
I will admit I do like PRS, but if given the choice between a quicksilver or prs. Quicksilver wins hands down. I don't think many people here actually played a quicksilver, but for those who have and still like prs. You are one hell of a person for standing up for prs.
But back to the website. It is a secret that Ed buys soem guitars from pawn shops and random other stores. He even tells stories about it on his site. IT isn't shocking to hear PRS wont give ed guitar's, because he sells them at the lowest price possible. He also does take good care of his customes. He gave me a new quicksilver just because the one i ordered was slightly wrong. He also does flame fender and gibson all the time for their gutiars. Reason why guitar's by CNC are less valuable is because they lack the man hours behind the building.
As for the horrow stories. Nothing new. Hell ed got some, but at the same time there are also praise stories. So which are better? Of course the one that agree with you.
I can't help it. When I get an idea that excites me it's as if I can't breath unless I make it real.
