You been happy with it? I came so close to biting then. Definitely one that has stayed on my radar the past year.

...obviously no use to folks without a time machine, but I hope the wait is going to be worth it
Comparison - the neck is very similar, maybe a little slicker because of the finish. Pickups are ok - I haven't felt the need to replace them. The piezo and tuners are fine.
Only two complaints - it's over a pound heavier than my Core - that's a huge disappointment for me. Second complaint - the finish looks beautiful, but it's incredibly thin and fragile. I don't even remember a hit, but I pulled it out of the case a few weeks ago and it had a ding down to wood. No dent, just a chip in the finish on top.
Otoh, for several thousand less, it's a great guitar
Either way, I'm happy with mine overall. It would be awesome if there was a selector switch to more immediately switch between the piezo and HBs - I know people have modded theirs and done things like this but I'm not sure I'm comfortable (or daring) enough to DIY something like that. It would be sweet adding a push pull to split the HBs up too hehe.
I run mine through my Headrush MX5 and, if I want acoustic, will switch to piezo and load an IR of my Collings acoustic on the MX5. It's not *quite* there but it sounds pretty convincing. What I'd really like is the Tonedexter II to capture my Collings and see how the PRS sounds through it. The IR for my Collings I got help creating from the guy who runs this site, http://acousticir.free
