 Duuude!  you have some sweat guitars!  too bad you live in the  
Midwest, I'd be over every weekend trying to be your BFF :-) I have a  
weakness for PRS guitars and gold tops and P-90's and.......
 The standard PRS scale length splits the difference almost exactly  
between the shorter Gibson Standard scale length and the longer Fender  
standard scale length, thus I find them more focused in the low  
frequencies than a gibson with similar pickups, and  with an increased  
treble response, though no where near a typical fender sound unless  
you coil split but much more convincing in that way than a Gibson with  
splitters. I let a PRS hollow body get away from me.  sniff..  
sniff ...tear......but the reality is, I'm a strat guy first and  
foremost, its a rainbow of colors and I've learn to keep them in tune  
and work the tremolo. Teles a close second, which is why that might be  
the next bari candidate and this time I will go lighter than I have  
before on your suggestion Per, I want more bending capability and the  
heavier strings mush up when adding overdrive.
