PRS Guitars

I'm in the market for an electric guitar. Been playing for over 35 years.. mainly acoustic, but the last 5 years I really like my Ibanez Artcore AS93, but have been convincing myself that I should really consider a PRS guitar.
I've been eyeing Reverb for a used PRS, with a budget up to $3000; but I haven't found much (w/in a 100 mi radius). Lots of new CE's, but those 500 series have my attention.
I play a lot of Jerry G stuff, lots of loop pedal work, Allmans, Funkadelic, and I'd love to play a little slide as well.
Any PRS owners here? Any advice appreciated.

You can get a truly excellent PRS for around $1200. They’re great guitars.

The way Gibson used to make guitars (a friend that plays professionally in a band everyone has heard of told me that)

I have a Custom 24 10 top I got about a decade ago. Love that guitar. Sounds like an acoustic when I play it without an amp.
Got mine from Wilcutt Guitars (willcuttguitars.com).
I was looking for one on Ebay at the time. I put in a question and they contacted me directly. I knew what I wanted but didn't have the budget at the time to get it. They worked with me for a few days and we settled on this one. I was thrilled. Got it for about 1500 less than advertised and they shipped it free.

The 2 best-playing guitars I've ever laid hands on were Core Custom 24s that belonged to a friend.
Expensive, but you're getting something for that money

Yup. I have a PRS McCarty 594SC. Absolutely badass guitar. Has a nice chunky neck which I like and plays like a dream.

Well, if you're looking for Jerry Garcia tone, you should get a single coil strat.
As for ABB, you want humbuckers.
Jimmy Herring of Widespread Panic plays a PRS David Grissom Trim, which just came out with an amazing SE edition for only $900.
Maybe get the DGT SE that has coil tapping.

My vote goes to the SE Custom 24-08. Adds coil splitting to the already great value SE custom 24. That guitar will go anywhere you could ever want tone wise.

I took lessons as a kid, and have always played around. Have an acoustic, but gave my mexi-tele to a young cousin years ago who plays. Just got my son (8) a Squier mini-strat and he's learning now. I've got the bug again and really eyeing a PRS for me to play along with my son and maybe hand down to him when he outgrows the mini-strat. I really don't have a preference on styles. I'm no true guitar player, but may look to take lessons with my son to get back into it. Question to the board, would you buy a SE Custom 24, or an SE Silver Sky? Can't make up my mind.
