4.5 years later... I've sold all my other guitars, and only play the PRS! Honestly, I can't see myself changing to anything else...

4 years later, and this guitar still plays strong! I just had someone PM me asking what pots were used in this rebuild project... here's the kit I used: https://reverb.com/ca/item/6101136-prs-se-245-deluxe-wiring-kit-cts-orange-drop-switchcraft-treble-bleed-circuit

I can still remember spring 1978 (I was 10 years old)... We were all into KISS at the time, and my friend's older brother came home with a new record. Van Halen 1. Crazy, because I can remember it like it was yesterday... We sat and listened to the whole album, and I loved it right away. Eddie...

A couple years ago; I did a fairly major rebuild of a Tremonti SE... I am fully aware that the actual US built version is still superior... but for less than half the price, I've taken a brand new Tremonti SE, and completely gutted it, and rebuilt it with US parts. Here's a shot of the...

CU (Core line) - The Holy Grail. Best of the best. USA made with full US hardware. CE - USA made, with full US electronics and hardware (except the Korean bridge), with a bolt-on maple neck. S2 - USA made, with Korean electronics and hardware. SE - Korean made, with full Korean electronics an...

The CE comes with American electronics inside. I've had mine apart a number of times, and it's American. The only part that is from the SE/S2 is the bridge (which i changed to Mann)

This... is the exact reason I refuse to see KISS in concert. Or Van Halen. I absolutely worshiped these bands as a teenager (kinda still do). But Paul Stanley can't sing anymore. Neither can David Lee Roth. They just sound like s-h-i-t. And that's not how I want to remember them... I've...

When I did the full gut & rebuild of my Tremonti SE, I added treble bleed caps to the neck and bridge... https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/ngd-tremonti-se-full-rebuild.30507/ Here's what I installed: Sprague Orange Drop .022uF 715P 600V capacitor - for the neck. Sprague Orange Drop .001μF...

I was originally going to say: The black Les Paul and the Santana. The Gibson has such a unique sound... but the Tremonti is SO much nicer to play. I'd have to echo what many others have said: for a gig, I would bring your Tremonti and your Santana. Simply because you can cover a wide range of...

I know what you mean. I had a couple nice guitars, which I was pretty happy with, and alternated playing them both. Then I got a PRS... and the other two guitars sat in my basement untouched, after that. Eventually, I traded the other two guitars for a second PRS. Now, I don't even bother...

Yep... looks legit. Just enjoy it.

I've done two guitars with Mann 2000NOS bridges. My CE24 made a noticable difference in sustain and tone. https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/2000nos-upgrade-and-a-few-other-mods.28321/ I liked it so much that I did my Tremonti SE as well. I actually didn't even play the Tremonti with the...

Oh my... that's a killer guitar! Congrats

Sweet mother of... oh my, that thing is beautiful! Congrats. What is the black rocker switch for?

I didn't know this either... VERY nice looking guitar. I love the way the CE plays / feels. It's my personal favorite, and yours is one of the nicest I've seen.
