    History of PRS Guitars

    Great thread please give us more. I am so interested in the early days of PRS as a Maryland boy who spent a lot of time at Chuck Levin's in the 80s. Will never forget the first yellow Custom I saw and played there in the mid-80s. Still in love with the basic overall genius put forth in the...

    Ever have a day when you just hate the sound coming out of your amp?

    I only play straight into a DV Mark Jazz amp ... and I love it everyday ... cant believe how many years I chased a good clean sound from so many amps before finding this incredibly simple and inexpensive amp. I bought it after playing my 80s Spector into Mark Bass amp for years, which sounds...

    Committing blasphemy?

    I put Seth Lovers in my core DGT and did away with coil splitting and the backwards volume knob arrangement.

    Wow. How could Hendrix have played it since he was dead? He's really good. I've never heard of Shinedown.

    This one is nice.Though it has been rewired with coil taps on each pickup with two push pull knobs instead of the normal one. Update as of March 14 – I have learned that the pick ups were also changed to asymmetrical 8k/9k made by hand winder Tom Brantley of North Carolina. He makes amazing...

    PRS hate! Why?

    Older I get, less I give a f what somebody supposedly cool might say if they are talking about what they think isnt cool. Its been a long time since PRSi stereotypes got started, and a lot of people have been playing a lot of PRSi since. They make a huge range of models now. Only willfully...

    2023 PRS Silver Sky - Frost with Maple Fretboard

    PRS tolex covered wood cases with form fitting interiors are unusually heavy and always have been. I have been using the Hiscox for gigs as it fits classic PRS shapes as well as the Silver Sky. It weighs nothing and is strong as anything.

    2012 Stripped 58 (Faded McCarty Burst)

    I am unashamedly in this camp. I see the series of 24.5-24.594 scale nitro finished, 57/08 pup, singlecuts as heirs to the Les Pauls I love ... with PRS refinements added. Perhaps the same philosophy undergirding why I also like my Silver Sky as an 'improved' take on a 63 Strat.
