Who plays music?

It just didn't seem to do it enough for clean tone versatility for me.
 

Same.  The neck pickup is way too muddy, the bridge pickup is way too ice picky, so you're basically stuck in the middle position and that's pretty limiting.

What is nuts or me is that I played Gibson's so long that I only liked that scale length.  Switching to Strats and Teles felt so weird to me.  Now the scale length bothers me on Les Pauls as much as the Fenders and others used to.  I actually have 10.5's on my Les Paul just to kind of compensate for the tension difference.

I will say, there is still nothing better than a Les Paul when you're using a decent amount of gain.  No matter what pickups I've tried in an HSS I can never get anywhere close to a real LP sound.  And I still think a Gibson is a superior guitar.

PS Kinda jelous about your PRS.  I guess that's kind of the best of both worlds.  You get a scale length right in between, coin splitting and a trem.  Seems like you can cover a lot of ground with that.
