Looks very wrong to me with that headstock.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
I'd be interested to play it - as if its its as nice as the 305 I'm sure it would be a cracker.
Just feels a bit "Hendrix Strat" somehow.

Chinese whisper time : A post on The FB group suggests he wanted an EVH style brand, which would make his own amps/guitars under a 'Mayer' brand. Fender wouldn't do it. thus ended his affiliation with them. [source - some bloke on facebook]
/end rumours.
It seem's kinda similar to what happened with Tremonti, but at an accelerated rate. PRS approached him and basically made him his perfect 'les paul' in the PRS style. Which is partly where the single cuts started coming from - [source - interview on youtube with tremonti about PRSs]
I suppose the question is who will buy this? Other than the Fender Custom Shop, Anderson & Suhr dominate the 'posh' Strat market. I'm not convinced it would sell well - particularly with a headstock which is 'so' wrong.
The NF3 and DC3 models retained the bolt on neck format, but I suppose Paul utilsed his own designed p/ups, so any potential buyers who liked to exchange pick-ups became instantly anti such guitars - I think at the time the initial price in the UK was around £1800 ish and at the time C/Shop models could still be purchased for £1800/2200, so PRS went straight up against established Strat builders - If they could have achieved a £1400 tag at the time they might have had a better shout
It's literally just a Strat with a PRS neck. It doesn't even look like it has a PRS bridge (although maybe that's down to my eyesight and some not-too-clear photos).
How long before Brent Mason asks them to remodel his signature as a Tele shape?
Then maybe they could get Johnny Hiland back too.
