I don't own both, but have played both and compared them. The more expensive thing isn't always better. That's just how it is, and sometimes you just have to have faith and accept that. There are lower quality guitars (some Gibsons, maybe) which are more expensive than PRS, and probably equal or higher quality guitars priced lower. For whatever reason, PRS has established itself at their particular price point, and that's what we, the market, have deemed them to be worth. Things are worth what people are willing to pay. But even if PRS didn't have much higher expenses, the price difference still wouldn't necessarily be unusual. They may be holding to high prices or even raising them slightly because they have no choice. They are a bigger company than Carvin with a much bigger budget for advertising and endorsement/artist deals. Those capital costs have to be recouped somehow. PRS is currently building (they may have finished by now, I don't know) a brand new, kabillion square foot factory.right at the time that the economy is tanking and the market for their instruments is shrinking. If I was going to buy one, it would probably just be a Carvin (no question of value to me), but I just want to know why PRS can cost that much more, besides the name. I'm just having a hard time believing that factory direct can cut $2000 off a similar guitar. PRS mahogany? What about the build process?

If you have to have a PRS logo on the guitar, then buy one. I have not played one that i thought was worth that money. Since the price is now 2800-3K.just not something i would pay. The bigger neck heel dose not thrill me, the "10" top label seems to handed out a little to often, for tops that.lets say should not be 10's. As with anything 's not quit the same guitar. Since then, i've played a lot of the newer ones. For 1800-1900 at the time, still not cheap, but was a good guitar. If you want to dive bomb.this is not the guitar. The trem is ok, with the locking tuners it will pretty much keep it in tune. I don't really like any of there pups, but that personal taste. The claim at the time was it will sound like a Fender and a of course sounds like sounds like a PRS.
The build quality was very nice and the 10 tops, were very nice.
I only like the wide thin neck.did not like the standard.but thats just me. I played about 10 of them to find the best playing one. I played alot of them when they first came out, as my keyboard player had to have 1. As Stated.you can build a CT to anything you want.
