FWIW, $0000000.00 I know, I shopped for a PRS for a while, a couple of times.
Played a number of them, but didn't fall in love with any.
Thought maybe I'd like good Les Paul, tried some of those too, same.
Ended up with
this, pretty pleased
5 minutes from my house, so I got to play it multiple times before pulling the trigger.
It was a lot of money for me, so I hemmed and hawed more than a little, but finally did it.
If you have the opportunity to play a Collings, especially if there are any used somewhere near you, I suggest you do that.
I couldn't tell you exactly what about mine got to me, but it did.
The PRSs I tried were good guitars, very well built, but I eventually decided that PRS just wasn't for me, and looked elsewhere.
Not that they don't catch my eye from time to time, like Cliff's two for sure, but something about the ones I tried just didn't connect.
Anyway, I hope you find something that speaks to you.
