    General Private Stock/Custom Prices

    Hi gents, I'm looking to get a custom 7-string PRS and I'm not exactly sure what to expect price-wise. I don't want any exotic woods or fancy designs, I actually just want an alder body (painted matte black) and a standard maple neck. Would anyone roughly know how much this would cost? I...

    NGD is Finally NGD!

    The Hipshots do have short posts, shorter than the Phase II, but they're long enough to go through and they work great :)

    NGD is Finally NGD!

    Not sure if you all remember me but a while ago I posted about getting my first PRS with a slew of questions regarding replacing the tuners, etc. Well, my PRS is finally complete. Got it painted black and had black Hipshot locking tuners to replace the Phase II. They were a near perfect fit...

    New PRS Owner with a Question

    This is true. Would any of the hipshots that come with the universal mounting plate work?

    New PRS Owner with a Question

    I'm not inclined to drill holes either, but it's tempting. Would be nice to know what is a direct fit tuner for these guitars, if any exists. PRS has every color tuner except for black! I'll check out those hipshots dmatt! Asthetics are important to me, I'm sure you all think I'm being stupid.

    How many of you guys actually PLAY guitar?

    My current guitar teacher is one of the most incredible guitarists I've ever had the pleasure of spending time with and the guitars he currently owns are stunning. He told me his teacher long ago used to give him crap for spending and buying so many guitars back in the day and now he's a master...

    New PRS Owner with a Question

    Ugh, they look great on the guitar, I'd hate to return them :mad: The alternative is drilling holes and I don't know if that's something I want to have done to the guitar. The new holes would be awfully close to the old ones and I don't know if that would cause any structural problems for the tuners

    EDIT: GOTOH 510 TUNERS ARE NOT A DIRECT REPLACEMENT Much to my dismay what has been said on the Internet is wrong, the 510 tuners require drilling to fit

    New PRS Owner with a Question

    Great videos Jazz, thanks! And thanks for all the replies guys! I'm definitely not blaming the tuners, I am aware that the nut and an improperly set up trem are usually the culprits. I'd hate to replace the nut, its quite unique on this guitar, haven't seen in on others, but PRS sell's...

    New PRS Owner with a Question

    I thought about that, if I have problems with the 510s I'll just return them. From my research they are a direct fit, if they aren't then I won't keep them. I am having tuning issues when I use the trem, most of the strings go out of tune after a few dives. This is my first vintage trem guitar...

    New PRS Owner with a Question

    Thanks for the replies guys! The tuners are phase II on the 305's according to PRS, and to go with the black paint job I wanted to get black tuners (the Phase II are 14:1 while the Gotoh's are 21:1). I've also heard good things about the 510's, let me know if you guys have heard otherwise. Call...

    New PRS Owner with a Question

    Hi guys! I'm the proud new owner of a 2010 PRS 305 and it is INCREDIBLE!! I'm officially addicted to PRS haha. I'm going to switch out the tuners to Gotoh 510's and have it painted black so I shall upload pics after all that is done. I just have one question though. It has both a maple neck...
