    The waiting game...who’s playing?

    Waitin’ on a tungsten Silver Sky. Was supposed to be here in June, then July 20, but I’m dubious. If it gets here by my birthday (around Labor Day), I’ll be reasonably satisfied. Got lots of guitars to play in the meantime...

    Who here has an obscene amount of guitars?

    24 electrics (including 8 PRS, all core), 3 acoustics, 1 electric bass. 7 guitar amps (including 5 head/cab and 2 combos), 1 acoustic amp (Fishman Loudbox Mini), 1 bass amp. One of the heads is an original 100-watt Archon. Stupid, really. I should probably get rid of 2/3 of the electrics...

    First class - buy with confidence. I've bought a HBII, a ME1, and an Archon head from them.

    2016 Approacheth - Who's Got "Big" Plans?

    Didn't do anything big in 2015 other than take delivery of a new Shishkov Ultimate ordered in 2014. But in early 2016 I have my eyes set on a Metropolous Metro-Plex amplifier. I'm pretty well sated on the guitar front...nothing is calling out to me. All the PRS bases I'm interested in are...

    What is your deal breaker?

    A neck that's too thin front-to-back. They feel good and "fast" for about the first ten minutes, but then my left hands starts cramping up. Can't do it. Not a big fan of Bigsbys, either. I'm OK with trems (I have a 513 and a couple of trem-equipped Thorns) but no Bigsbys, please.

    Identify this PRS color

    Really, it's hard to tell. It could be Blue Matteo, it could be Faded Abalone, or it could be Blue Crab Blue. The pictures are under stage lighting and not color-calibrated, so we're all just guessing, really. Faded Abalone is a little more green than Blue Matteo, and Blue Crab Blue is a...

    Let's see them

    I understand all the talk about the Custom (24), and Les's 30th Anniversary is a particularly fine example. However, another way of looking at "iconic" is as the ultimate expression of an idea, and with that in mind I humbly submit my Modern Eagle:

    DFD rocks. Great guy to deal with.

    513s

    I've posted this picture before, but this guitar (a 2012) deserves to make an appearance in this thread: 513s rock.

    First post: Jade vs. Emerald Green

    Emerald green: Jade: Same camera, different lighting. But yes, I'd say there's more yellow in Jade.

    DR Pure Blues vs Cobalts vs NYXL

    Or, you can just use GHS Boomers and have bright tone, consistent intonation, great feel, and long life...every time. (JMHO, of course.) I've had really bad experiences with DR strings - intonation problems! They are on my "never again" list. The PRS strings I've tried have been fine, but...

    PRS Family Photos thread

    Love the black. Also nice to see another Custom 22/12...best electric 12 ever made, I think! (mine's on page 6 of this thread.)

    Question, PRS Need Neck Binding or No ?

    I have PRS guitars with binding (Signature Limited, ME III) and without (several), and I can't detect any difference in feel. Cosmetically, I think the binding on the ME III is a little too "white", but the binding on the Signature Limited is a "just right" cream color. Personal taste, of course.

    PRS Family Photos thread

    513MT = "513 Maple Top". One of my favorites of the bunch!

    PRS Family Photos thread

    Late to the thread as usual, but here's my contribution. Since this picture was taken, the Bogner Uberschall TwinJet on top has been replaced by a PRS Archon head, and I'm very happy with that change (despite the noisy loop.) L-R: Signature Ltd., ME 1, P22 (XPRS '12), CU22/12, ME III...
