I'm looking for a guitar that does a little bit of everything really well, with an emphasis on versatility.
I mostly play mostly sludge/stoner metal/rock. Add in a touch of thrash, grunge and sprinkle with a bit of 70s rock/metal. Primarily a Les Paul through Dual Rectifier. I don't use crazy high gain and the LP has PAFs. I tend to use my volume/tone controls a lot to give me a full spectrum of sounds between clean and scream.
What I don't want is something that's similar to a Les Paul. I already have that angle covered. I want something different, preferably more modern sounding, but not like an 80s Super Strat kind of deal. Still thick, but clearer and hotter. Articulate with molten levels of gain and a tighter bottom end when riffing, yet still sounds good backed off.
So, if you were in my shoes and looking at PRS which way would you go and why?
