It's a PRS (Paul Reed Smith).

Location: Hot Springs, S.D.		It's a PRS. He plays O's when he plays acoustic.
I have a PRS just like that one hanging in my shop, but in red. Whoever owned it before beat the daylights out of it. I can't understand why anyone would spend that kind of money on a guitar and then treat it so poorly.

Location: Seacoast NH		Bird inlays are a definite PRS giveaway (although only on the higher end models).

Played a few of them, and were very nice to play and have a very fast neck, but they are way out of my price range. I'll stick with my cheap and reliable Godin!

Ditto, though the other guitarist in the band was indeed using the AD Custom Legend (look behind Al)
