Well said man!

Well you know what they say, great minds and all that...the PRS you linked, even that doesn't really cut it for me. It's much of a muchness really as far as aesthetics go. Pretty sure it all boils down to the fact that my two key guitar heroes - The Edge and Malcolm Jones of Runrig - are big on Strats, although in Edge's case clearly, his wider taste in guitars has influenced me too, considering I have the Explorer and Les Paul (Malcolm Jones, bar a brief stint in the early 90s when he dabbled with a couple of Gretsches, is exclusively a Strat man).
I mean, with regard to other guitarists I like, say, Noel Gallagher, I don't feel much inclined to follow much of their taste in guitars with hollow-bodied stuff like Casinos, 335s and whatnot - the ones I've played are just too cumbersome for my liking; not weight-wise, just the shape and size of the body is a problem for me - I like guitars to feel dynamic, wieldy, a rapier as opposed to a claymore. For all that, as I said the other day, I'd love a Rick, or at the least to try one out - don't know how they measure up ergonomically to other semi-hollow/hollow-body guitars, but the tone alone is worth the compromise for me. Needless to say, I envy you lot with yours!

Amen brutha
Fair points. I think my guitar choices have mainly been based off of what the Edge uses, apart from the ricky. My les paul even looks like Edges (brought it in to put T-Top replicas in tonight!
) and my strats tone is based off of a 60's/70's strat tone, like Edges are (sort of). Also not a huge fan of the big hollow-bodies. The rickenbacker to me doesn't even feel like one. Only the lightness. Other than that, it just feels like a wicked electric guitar with a whole load of uniqueness to it. You really should try one man, I garuntee you'll love it.
), my order of guitars-to-get is:
