    Guitar players: Paul Reed Smith guitars - yea or nay?

    I've played on a few at various times at music stores and they have a very nice tone and excellent craftsmanship. The 'wide/flat' neck just doesn't suit my hands, though. I've been looking at a newer model that came out just a couple of years ago, the NF 53 SE (don't want to drop $2k on a guitar) and the specs seem much more to my liking. 9.5" neck radius (think more like a Tele) and P90 pickups. I've never really liked the single pole sound over a humbucker but P90s supposedly take up the middle between the two and the NF 63 pickups are supposedly much less noisy.

    I'm playing blues, classic rock, a bit of country/alt rock so I'd think a P90 would be fine (Teles and Strats just sound too thin for my taste).

    Pros/cons of rounder neck, PRS in general, P90s?

    I'm waiting for Orianthi to come over and give a personal demonstration.
