    Silver Sky refretted to 6105 Style Frets - Awesome!!

    Doh! I should have thought of that. Makes perfect sense.

    Silver Sky refretted to 6105 Style Frets - Awesome!!

    My understanding is that the Silver Sky comes stock with a bone nut, but maybe that is not correct. If it does come with a bone nut, why the replacement nut? Not being critical, just curious. Beautiful guitar, BTW. I always thought that I'd get white, if I ever bought one, but I love that gold...

    Coil Split -- Inner or Outer?

    For the McCarty, S2 instruments, etc., when the tone knob is pulled up to engage the coil split, is it the inner or outer coil of the pickup that is being heard?

    58/15 LT Output

    On a PRS with the "regular" 58/15 pickups, what volume level on the guitar would approximately equal the output of the 58/15 LT with the volume on 10?

    McCarty vs. McCarty 594 - much of a difference?

    I've only played the semi-hollow 594, not the regular 594, but based on my experience, the regular McCarty and the 594 are completely different instruments. For me, the the biggest difference is in feel (neck carve and scale length), but there is enough of a difference in sound that I would not...

    CE-24 semi-hollow . . . WHEN???

    I know they are out there. I bought one in late December at the local guitar store, a nice whale blue. Not a stellar top, but pretty enough. I'd still have it except that my asthma didn't get along with the nitro smell. :-(

    NGD: 594 Semi

    LOL Ya, well, the other day I saw that same guitar on the wall at the guitar shop but didn't give it a second look. Yesterday, however, it was calling to me rather loudly. I picked it up, played it, and got hooked. :) It's Copperhead Burst.

    NGD: 594 Semi

    Sometimes, it's dangerous to walk into a guitar store in an impulsive mood.

    Quilt or Flame?

    I don't remember how Sweetwater described it, but I wouldn't expect a quilt from an ordinary top -- and this one is just a regular, not a 10 -- so I was surprised when I saw how nicely figured it is. I was hoping to find something in blue, but when I saw this one, I had to grab it!

    Quilt or Flame?

    Is this a quilt or a flame? I'd call it a quilt, but I am not certain. I have wanted a Custom 24 for quite a while and finally bought one. :) The photograph was taken by Sweetwater, but they emailed it to me when I bought the guitar. I hope my posting here does not violate some rule.

    Stainless steel frets

    I've had SS frets on another brand of guitar. I ended up selling it. Smoooooooooth! Bends brought a smile to my face. And they stayed nice and shiny for quite a while. But ultimately I didn't like the sound of it. I'm sure putting SS frets on a PRS will affect the tone, but as they say, YMMV...

    PRS Guitar Strings

    I read somewhere, some years ago, that the PRS strings are pure nickel as opposed to nickel-plated. Has this ever been verified by anyone? Or is this generally accepted as being true? If this is the case, then they appear indeed to be strings made to PRS specifications, as the D'Addario pure...

    To PRS or to MusicMan? dilemma!

    I've had over a half-dozen Music Man guitars and a couple of basses, and the quality is top notch, indeed. Never had a problem with any of them: fretwork, tuning stability, action, neck...all excellent, just like with PRS. And they are definitely apples and oranges. To me, the Custom 24 is...
