The first point is about the looks. The guitar is simply beautiful. The peacock blue finish is gorgeous. However, at least in the one I have received, the bird inlays in the higher frets (17 and after) are kind of weird and you can barely notice they are birds. Probably a finishing issues at the factory, which prompts me to provide 4* here.
For the playability: This guitar sounds absolutely amazing. Been using both channels connected to a Marshall acoustic amp and a VOX C1, and let me tell you, the nuances of the sound as astonishing. Been playing around with the tone just a bit before max high-pass (cutting higher frequencies) and it gives such a warmth to the sound...
I would recommend this guitar to everybody. Another thing that you can tell is the quality of PRS factory setup. The guitar arrived with the frets feeling good (no need for wood polish/treatment out of the box to feel good), good intonation and, it arrived ALMOST in tune. Other manufacturers don't perform even close to PRS on "cheaper" guitar lines (naming Epiphone, Schecter, Jackson, Fender MX). I have bought a few guitars from Thomann and this is the first that I didn't perform any setup.
Going to start playing around with effects and see how the sound looks like with 2 simultaneous channels, but so far, extremely impressed with this guitar. Well done PRS! There's a reason why this manufacturer has so much love from us players.
