PRS continues to innovate bring these beautiful tools of artistic expression that bring out the best in you as a player whilst doubling as an art piece on its own and they are always out of reach. I'd love the opportunity to play one of these or a 594 one day, unfortunately I doubt I'll ever be in a position to own one

Odd that it's a semi hollow considering Jerry didn't play semi hollow except the Guild in the very early days. It certainly wasn't a part of the tone he was chasing. That ended with a bunch of heavy solid body guitars for him. And he loved them even though they killed his back during those longass shows.

PRS guitars are the electric equivalent to a fine Martin acoustic. I've owned both, along with Gibsons, Fenders, etc... When you strum an E7 and listen to most top end guitars, you hear the E7 chord. When you strum a D-42 or one of these Eagles, you hear each string's note stacking up to make the chord... If I were currently playing full time, I'd have a couple of PRS beauties. Their tone and playability are as great as their fit and finish, classic American craftsmanship, period!

@JamTrax7 жыл бұрын
FYI... For anyone wanting the Garcia tone, you can't get it with this guitar. Period. This is indeed a fine guitar & is for getting the "Mayer with Dead & Co tone", but there's a well known formula & specific gear needed for the Garcia tone, which Mayer simply doesn't have or use. It's just a simple fact. It also takes much more than just the right guitar specs like DiMarzio SD II's, Onboard effects loop that Jerry used but are missing from this guitar, but the other half is very important too... Garcia also used a heavily modded Twin pre into a solid state McIntosh 2300 into JBL E-120's. A combo of all these things + right guitar specs is required for the "real" Jerry thing. But John can rock for sure, & has a great tone going on. It's just a stretch for PRS to invoke the name "Garcia" in an effort to make money, while not delivering at all on that tone.

Travis Elswick well that was only part of 69 and May of 70, hardly a signature tone or hard to get like later on, even though the playing itself was killer... its easy to get that tone so no "chasing Garcia tone" needed... it's the unique tone with wolf and tiger that are more desired by far for those after signature Garcia tone. The SG was a small phase but still great music. I prefer Wolf, Tiger and the Travis Bean with JGB myself.

I didn't know that about the headstock, relaxing some of the wood for when John slides his hand down and being more accustomed to what he is used to. All those little nuggets of info are fun to know... as I didn't know this. Anyway, I've seen Dead & Company and the tones John achieves with this particular "tool" are just amazing. Very sweet, smooth, creamy... and I'll say quite different than John Mayer w/ his Fender. I've seen John live several times... in the early distortion days, I was VERY lucky to catch an all acoustic show (one of the best concerts I've been to). So it was neat to see him w/ Dead because it's like he's a completely different artist, even though he's not. I do wish there was a more cheaper version of the Super Eagle.

Finally found one that had already sold on Reverb LP, with a listed price of $16,754.07, and I can't find any evidence that any of them are for sale. They should have called it the Beanie Baby model, or perhaps the P.T. Barnum Special. What a crock. Look for the video of Garcia and Elvis Costello playing "You Win Again." Jerry is playing Costello's vintage Jazzmaster, and guess what? It sounds like Garcia. The production is a bit crude, but it's unmistakably Jerry. The magic was in his fingers and in his ears, not the wood or the metal.
