Got it about a month ago in this condition. Still needs a good cleaning and some tweaking.

My impression of the Prestige in general is I find them to play real similar to a Les Paul so I really like them as far as action and tone. This Prestige in particular has really nice action, I wouldn’t say fast action, but it has a really nice feel to it. Very chunky and heavy with great tone. Great rhythm guitar and a fair lead guitar. I sometimes use the prestige as a rhythm guitar and then switch to a Pantera for lead work. Overall I am very pleased with it and would say it is definitely one of my top five favorite guitars.

Looks just like mine. Would endorse BoutJP's playability assessment. A colleague had a thrash on mine yesterday and he was blown away with it - his main axe is a very nice LP custom valued at £2k+.

My comment - to play its like a Thunder but with refinement, a cleaner tone and great finish.
