On the European tour in February 2014 I used a PRS Singlecut as the main axe, while having a PRS Singlecut Trem as a backup and for warming up backstage. After our equipment didn't arrive in time for the show at Amnesia Rockfest in Canada, I ended up buying a PRS S2 SC250, that is now my main guitar for my work with Cradle of Filth.
