I'm defanately not saying you'll have to change the pickups or anything. I'm just saying that the PRS sound isn't for everybody. I wasn't trying to discourage you either, just trying to make sure you make an educated decision before parting with you cash (which you've already proved you are going to do). I would suggest trying them all before deciding. The CE 22/24, Custom 22/24, and the McCarty's all have something different to offer. I personally want one of each, also adding the Swamp Ash Special, and the HBII :D . Hey, a guy can dream can't he :rolleyes:
