I'm really starting to realise that a mahogany body isn't for me, I need tight lows and it's not happening. I'm always looking out for that hair metal 80's sound, love it or loath it. It's a high gain tone I love and I can't seem to get it with the PRS.
I'm thinking that a Suhr Modern Pro, from all the demos Ive heard, will nail it and be a lot brighter and tighter than the PRS. And will be versatile to not only cover my in er 80's but a lot of other stuff too. What do you think?
Peach is pretty much the otherside of the country for me, so before I take a long road trip I'd like to hear your thoughts please :-)

I have two.
Don't get the Floyd unless you absolutely have to- the regular 510 trem is fine.

Though have to say the opposite.. I get better 80s "tone" from PRS. I must be the only person who doesn't care about that, though - it's all about the notes!
The 22 fret standard feels better in the hand, personally speaking.

The fingerboard is a trick of the light- it is actually Pau Ferro.

@thomasross20 what makes you say you get better 80s tone with a PRS, what PRS have you got, and what pickups? That's interesting indeed.

If you order a custom order then you can have what you want but more moneys.

The trem is just better with the 510.
The Floyd is fine but if I could sell it for what I could get another 510 equipped one for then I would.

Quicker and cheaper if based here. I'd wager at least equal build quality too.

On resale- buy used if you can, Suhr suffers from poor resale, not as bad as Tom Anderson (another brand I have two of) but not far off.

I do think a Strat type with longer scale will sound tighter than a PRS, but I've never struggled with tight out of mine. It could be pickup related, unless you specifically want the more snappy attack of something closer to a Strat - in which case the Suhr will suit you more
