Yep, my wire broke right at the terminal solder joint. I'll have to strip the wire as there is no copper left then solder it back. I have no soldering skills but I should be able to do one wire.

Ugh, my battery cable just broke off, time to get the soldering iron out. I found this on YouTube and looks like a good option.

I was just looking at a private stock PRS on Reverb (not that I can afford it) and on the PRS spec sheet they use the term pre-factory on the sheet. Top wood: Quilted maple with a pre-factory top carve and lower horn scoop I was curious what the difference was between a pre-factory top carve...

I saw Buddy like 15 years ago, I was a little disappointed at the time as he played for 45 min's or so then disappeared for around 30 min's (his band kept playing without him) then he came back and played for around 20 min's more.

I don't know if I would call this rare but I would say it's unique. PRS Hollowbody 1 that belonged to Howard Leese (Heart/Bad Company) and was originally cherry sunburst. The guy I bought it from got it in a trade with Howard and he sent it to PTC. He had the neck carved to a wide thin neck from...

Thanks, yeah I asked him for a pic of the control cavity.

I'm looking at this 86 PRS but it has a blade switch. The seller said he thinks it's original and was custom ordered as he said the finish goes down into the blade switch cavity. It has a 3 way blade and 1 vol and 2 tones. Otherwise it seems to check out. Did PRS do one off customs back in 86...

I much prefer to watch a regular "joe" review a guitar but I'd also rather watch the YT reviewers over a store trying to sell you the guitar.

I don't see anything wrong with it but I'd only deal off Reverb locally in person.

Very sweet ! Love the color! Question about Paul's guitars, how come on some of Paul's guitar's like mine have the inlays that cover more than one fret but some like this green one the inlays fit between the frets?

What is that guitar hanging on the left in Jack's office? They never show the whole thing, has a big route on the right side. Could that be a tele prototype? Bridge doesn't look like a tele bridge though. mystery guitar

Nice playing ! Can't really see the guitar much but wow what a fingerboard.

Oh damn, sorry for the misinformation, well that sucks not sure why they would stop doing that.

You can get PTC to carve the neck thinner. My HBI was sent to PTC (before I bought it) and they took the neck from wide fat to wide thin. I just love how comfortable the neck is. This guitar had quite a few changes. It used to belong to Howard Leese (Heart/Bad Company) and it was sunburst at...

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I may get one of those shorty arms too, much cheaper. Hey but Jake is an incredible guitarist, love Umphrey's McGee.
