One particular area of difficulty is guitars. Sure, any guitar is available to you, as long as you're willing to pay extra. For years I've dreamed of owning a few different guitar models, and have sprung at the chance to buy one when a decent lefty model has become available. This just happened to happen a few days before Christmas. I saw one of my dream guitars on eBay and jumped at the chance to own it. Here she is:

It's a PRS Custom 22 10 Top. PRS quit making standard production lefty guitars a few years ago, so existing models are now collector's items and pretty difficult to come by. I saw this one and got particularly excited about it because not only was in a Custom, as I had been wanting, but it was also in the exact color that I've always wanted--emerald green. PRS has also stopped making guitars in this color altogether, so I feel pretty lucky. It cost me an arm and a leg, but I love this guitar and am thrilled to have it.
Only one more guitar left on my dream guitar list: a Jackson King V. I've never seen a lefty before.
Damn. That's a sweet guitar. Have you always been a fan of PRS? I know the dude from Opeth plays PRS. Did that have anything to do with it?
ReplyDeleteI've been aware of PRS for a long time, but really got turned onto them in the last couple of years for a couple reasons:
ReplyDelete1. Opeth, as you correctly guessed. There's just a lot of great guitar tones on their albums, and a lot of versatility on the same guitars between clean and distorted tones.
2. Actually playing a couple PRS guitars. Granted, I had to play right-handed guitars upside down, but the feel and tone of these guitars (and I never even plugged them in) were amazing.
I'll probably still use my Les Paul more for playing metal (the PRS pickups just can't touch the EMG KFKs I put in my LP), but I'm really digging the PRS for overall tone and playability.
