i am in a rut. i don't know exactly what is wrong with me. i have a dreaded dr. appointment this week. i just don't feel like doing anything anymore. losing my weekend job has alot to do with it. (no work, i didn't get fired). when i get this way i spend money i don't have. my bills always get paid before i hit the music store. always. this is my plan.........
i have 2 fender guitars that i just don't play. both brand new and really great fiddles. i just don't play them. i have always wanted a PRS. i'm going to see if i can trade the 2 fenders for a PRS. i'm hoping Mr. Chet will chime in and tell me what a great decision i've made.
i still own 3 fenders and i love them. i want the PRS but i don't have the cash. i'm willing to talk trade. soon. what do you guys and gals think????

a gutar that just sts in the corner is not worth having.

Moochy makes a valid point. Just make sure you really like the PRS twice as much as one of those strats.

Or just forget about the PRS. Sell the strats and have the money as a buffer till you get back working again.

By the way mate, I really know how you feel. My work is very from feast to famine. I get really depressed when I'm sat at home.
Chin up fella, hope the lull ends soon.

One of my good friends bought a PRS. and to put it short. he didn't like it at all. He ended up returning it in the first week he had it. went back and got a nice fender standard strat and has had it ever since..and he loves it.

Nikki, i still got my full-time job. my weekend gig has hit the wall. i know how selfish that is but my second job is my play money. after bills of course. soon i'll be whining about not getting a day off. poor jeebus.
i have no idea what i want. well, yes i do but i have alot of shopping to do. while i do my research i will give the other 2 fiddles a fair chance to remain in the barn. i just can't see forking over cash when a trade makes more sense.
of course none of this will happen unless i leave the house. i rarely do that anymore unless i'm going to the sticks. far away from this stinkin' city.

While PRSi are very well made guitars they are not for everyone, and sometimes you just don't bond with a good one.
Be very sure you want that PRSi before you make the deal.

I had a really nice McCarty a few years ago that I just didn't like, I never bonded with it. So I got rid of it.
Currently I have an EG-3, CU22, and CU24. They are all fab guitars that I really like.

I didn't Lose my mind, I traded it for this guitar.

Good points. Sometimes guitars look soooooo good that one relates
to the pretty pictures with thoughts of our personal guitars in mind.

thanx chet. i was really hoping you would chime in. i'm going to test drive the PRS, charvel and an SG. thats my plan. who knows what i'll do if anything. i might just trade the tele. buying toys is the way i deal with depression.
toppscore, it really has nothing at all to do with looks. you should see the explorer i play almost daily. i just want something that has balls without any mods. i need to shop.
Nikki, i scored an all day job in the houston area this saturday. it pays windshield time and all. usually 300 bones for one day. 16-18 hour day if we get after it. you brought me luck sir. maybe it was the goat.
i had a great year last year. i have no reason to whine here about money.

So, what is the status?
Did you get banned?
How are the PRS guitars? Buy one?
I have had my eye on one for a while.
