    Must see places in Memphis?

    Thanks guys, My daughter had most of the tumor removed last month via surgery. There is a long term study under way at St Jude dealing with this specific type of tumor with a proton beam. They are 10 years into the 20 year study and there are loads of kids that started in the beginning that...

    Must see places in Memphis?

    Hey all, Back in April my youngest(the guitar player) was diagnosed with a brain tumor that has required 2 surgeries so far. We will be leaving on Sunday to go down to St Jude in Memphis for some follow up care. I will be there with her for the first 2 weeks and then I have to come home leaving...

    PRS Chris Robertson SE

    As you said, it came from the USA so there shouldn't be duty that needs to be paid. If they charge it then you have to go through the pain of getting it refunded. It doesn't matter if they were made outside of the USA. PRS pays when they come in so the duty has been paid.

    New Bernie Day - Quick Question

    You need a spare... What if one needs to go in for repairs or a setup... What if you decide you want to keep one tuned and setup for a half step down or some other alternate tuning? What if one just doesn't feel right that day?

    Neck cleaning question

    The best fretboard cleaner/conditioner I have ever used, by far, is the ernie ball wonder wipes. They use a blend of orange oil, jojoba oil, and linseed oil. No nasty solvents or anything. The fretboard comes out perfectly clean and has that dark, wet look for months and months and months at a...

    New Bernie Day - Quick Question

    As the others said, this is just how it works. You can use that "feature" as a kill switch. When you are in the middle position the signal travels through both volume pots so either one can kill it all if they are turned to zero. It can be kind of a balancing act to find exactly what you are...

    NGD

    I agree, the binding is basic but nice, the solid wood back is a nice feature. The spruce top is incredible and the fit and finish is perfect.

    Last night I settled on a NOS SE Angelus Custom from Dave's. It has a really cool top with some interesting curl figure to it that the camera just can't capture. The rosewood back is almost black under normal lighting, the ebony is beautiful. It sounds really nice and plays super smooth, can't...

    New PRS se custom 24 - strange buzzing issues

    Get it set up by a good luthier. The factory setup specs are listed on the website, should be setup the same as a core.

    SE Single Cut Pickup Rings versus Core

    The pickup bobbin is plastic, the lead wires are insulated with plastic, the clear coat is essentially plastic... The pickup rings are a non-issue.
