:D The year was 1976. Carlos Santana was in his dressing room waiting to play a gig at the Capital Center in Washington D.C. A tall, slender 20 year old Paul Reed Smith with abundant curly hair and wire-rimmed glasses made his way backstage with a guitar he’d just built for Peter Frampton. This was the start of a life-long partnership and creative partnership that has done much to shape the destiny of Paul Reed Smith Guitars.

Jeff seriously just play the damn thing!! What good is a Porsche if it never leaves the garage? Besides all the lil dings and dents and dirt aren't called imperfections....it's called experience. :D

Laugh if you want to, really is kinda funny, 'cause the world is a car and you're the crash test dummy.

Had 3 of those...nice shredding axe...its the only Strat model I like to play...I guess that post needs to say "Stratocaster" instead of "Strat" a la H.M.

Why did you have to go and do that Colton? Now I'll be on eBay looking for one.

I finally put my own strings/gauge on it and intonated it...unfreakinbelieveable...especially with the HFS and VB pickups.

I also found that this crazy thing has a side dot marker on the 11th fret! Right next to the 12th's double dot! I emailed PRS to see what's up with that.

Who knows, maybe I'll win something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
