Ok, I'm trying to figure out which PRS model this is based off of. The details are scant. I don't own a PRS but can be talked into one for the right price.

What do you guys think of this? this might be a decent deal if I coudl get it with one of the Guitar Center 15% coupons.

It appears to be based off the SE Singlecut (the SE being the lower priced import line).

It looks like PRS has actually discontinued the regular Singlecut model, but this older web page still works:

Wait, here's a current page from Musicians Friend:

So, about a $200 upcharge for the appearance stuff.

Thanks for tracking that down. I'll save my pennies for a McCarty then. But I gotta get back to racing first before I buy any more guitars.

ABout a year ago, I went to a GC and played about 6 different PRS's and found each one sounding differently. Actually of all of the ones I tried, only one sounded good to my ear. To me PRS makes the most attractive guitar on the market, but not necessarily the best sounding one.

I will hand it to PRS. Their President is a NASA driver, Spec 944. He started with a relationship with Corvette Racing in the old GT1 ALMS program. Then he moved it to Grand Am.
