    I want to buy a PRS but.. (finish issue)

    This was the only inlay that’s ever bothered me over all the years. That chunk of flat white on the wing was almost like another material got mixed in.

    Custom Private Stock Cost Estimation Methodology?

    https://briansguitars.com/products/paul-reed-smith-private-stock-mccarty-594-black-sub-zero-doghair Brian mentioned that this was, “about as cheap as you can spec a PS currently”

    The siren song of digital....

    I use several different Line6 products through a Duncan Powerstage when I need something more than headphones and it works quite well.

    What are some of the non-PRS guitars in your collection?

    Never thought I would love anything besides PRS until I impulse bought this Broadkaster.

    Show us your Singlecuts

    My only PRS singlecut at the moment (P245) , but I’m enjoying it quite a bit.

    Most is your most played PRS model ?

    Lifetime to date it’s been my P22 with the most playtime, but I voted McCarty variants since I think it sounds closer to those than a CU24.

    PRS Switching: Blade vs Toggle vs Rotary

    2 pickups = toggle 3 pickups = blade (personally I can only deal with blade in the typical Strat location) Overall I really prefer toggle on the horn for the access and visual feedback.

    Why does PRS still manufacture and sell Dragon II pickups but not Dragon I pickups?

    I’d speculate the bias for Dragon I inquiries on this corner of the interwebs is precisely *because* the Dragon II are still offered for sale. No scarcity bias or need to clog up forums if you can just go click buy. That leaves the vocal minority who are searching for the non available models...

    How do you guys afford buying guitars???

    It’s a poorly keep secret around these parts that the PRS SE lineup is more than sufficient for any personal or professional musical endeavor. But to throw one more anecdote on the, “work hard and save” pile: at 19 I played budget Schecters while dreaming of PRS. Didn’t get my first core until...

    PRS wiring phase/polarity, etc.

    With 4 conductor wiring yes you just switch the hot/ground to reverse phase. With single conductor you’re stuck having to flip the magnet. There is, however, some nuance required when coil splits are involved because electrically flipping the phase will change which coil is getting shunted.

    Refinish done at PTC

    Nice! I didn’t realize they were doing non-warranty refinishes again.

    Narrowfield replacement

    Even if they don’t sell one separately it wouldn’t hurt to ask PTC if they’d install one for you (won’t be cheap of course).

    Modern Eagle V owners: is the 250/500 switch important?

    Mine has it and I'll agree with the other posters here that the effect is subtle. It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me if I were starting over. I've heard that they ditched it for a 300k pot because it achieves the sound they were aiming for without the complexity of another switch, but my own...
