Goldcut

I bloody hate 1) Singlecut guitars 2) Finished necks. That was my rotten attitude some time ago towards all things non-Ibanez. That's how it was when you stick to a guitar for a good number of years & not being open to embrace difference. Glad that phase was over. 😁

It's kinda strange but I guess it's reverse psychology. With singlecut guitars, I tend to play more at the upper frets. It's like proving to an invisible audience that playing a guitar with only one area of upper fret access is really a mental barrier. If you are an able player, nothing should get in the way. Ditto finished necks. Yes, that coated feel does affect play to some extent for many of us but if you make time to overcome this hindrance of sorts, you'd be as worthy a player playing such necks as your preferred unfinished models. 

Managed to end the Sunday (last night) with the PRS S2 Standard depicted here. Since it's fitted with a Duncan Super V bridge pickup, the '70s-esque voicing was apparent regardless of how much distortion was pumped into the signal. I wouldn't say it's in the Led Zep/ KISS territory exclusively but that's the kind of sonic quality you hear coming from this one.
