Heh. Yeah, I gotta be careful about how hard I step on the GAS. :silly:Nice addition to your guitar family Mark, G.A.S. comes with the territory here! :laugh:
This action has been some months in the making. The Grand Dame has many wonderful qualities but I've reluctantly come to the conclusion she's not the instrument I need right now. After spending so much time with Angel I'm realizing I want a smaller body size and a different neck profile, both of which PRS models provide. The Angelus is designed to offer a playing experience very similar to their flagship electric guitar feel, the instant good feeling I get when I pick up Angel, and that's the feel I've come to love and want for my acoustic playing as well.
I expect there are many other brands and models that would provide a similar playing experience for me but, between hands on with Angel and my experiences with the global PRS community over the past few months, I've come to trust their instruments enough to buy another one sight unseen (and hands untouched). The closest guitar store to me (still an hour away) caters to the local market, which is kind of "Bud Lite versus craft beer" mentality. I'm a craft beer guy, I just suffer from a Bud Lite budget. :dry:
The PRS SE line is their effort to bring their stuff within reach of guys like me without skimping on quality and thus far it's working a treat. :side:
