Outstanding woods used, quality control, craftsmanship.
The pre-1995's had an alder wood back which, to me, with the wood's aging properties sounds incredible - sustain/smoothness/balance/tone. The thick maple caps (tops) were gorgeous back then as well, today's (post 2000's) not as pretty. Also, solid backs back then, today supposedly not 100% solid wood backs (if so, shame).
DO NOT let the fact that these are bolt-on necks deter you!! They are stable as all get-out and actually have an advantage if repairs need to be done...much easier for your luthier.
Stock pickups have pretty much always been vintBass/HFS and these are good with the wood combination. Very..."up-front" sound through any amp yet never harsh; nice.
PRS= tone, playability (especially these wide-thins necks on the CE's) and beauty. Usually worth e-v-e-r-y penny. Yes, there are always alternatives (especially vintage Yamaha's and others) that may even play better, or maybe a bit more road-worthy, but nothing gives you the combo of benefits that PRS does; not Fender, Gibson (oh puleease), Gretsch, etc.
