    Poor Produced 2019 SE's ?

    I just received an SE Custom 22 Semi Hollow (Trampas Green Quilted Top from Zzounds). Awesome guitar but there are some issues with how the top was applied. It looks like there are some bubbles underneath the finish. I'll probably keep it because it's not too noticeable from a distance and sort...

    PRS SE custom 24 or gibson sg

    I had a 2017 SG standard and a 207 se custom 24. I ended up selling the SG and holding onto the custom 24. I really liked both, but the SG was collecting dust. it was off balance compared to the custom 24. didn't have coil taps (could have added this, but still). it just wasn't very inspiring to...

    11s on SE Custom 24

    I would double check and make sure the bridge is level if you haven't already. might have to adjust the claw screws in the back. I had a Santana se that I put 11s on and didn't really have a problem with the strings going out of tune with some mild whammy bar usage. but I did have to tweak the...

    SE Mark Holcomb v. SE Torero v. SE Custom 24

    I have a Custom 24 non Floyd. I don't play metal but I imagine it would cover that territory. Also depends on the sound you're going for. the 85/15s are voiced differently from a lot of other humbucking pickups I've played. the bridge position has a dip in the low mids. which is great because it...

    New SE's!

    These look awesome and I've been passively interested in getting a new acoustic. How's the scale length on the PRS SE acoustics? Can't say I've ever played a 25.3 inch scaled acoustic before. I'll definitely be wanting to try before I buy, but curious if anyone has some experience.

    The Amps/Overdrives Thing

    Trying to find a super versatile drive pedal is difficult. I started getting really obsessed with chasing the perfect pedal, that I decided to turn to boost pedals instead and it's worked out alright. I have the Fulltone 2B and the Mesa Boogie Tone Burst. The 2B is a sweet clean/neutral boost...

    Pedal chain help

    I think the way you have them listed is pretty much where I'd start out.

    Merry Christmas everyone what did you buy yourself?

    I sold off a Gibson standard SG and picked up a 2017 se Santana in orange. Seemed crazy at first to sell an American made guitar and replace it with one made overseas, but I am just a huge fan of the SE line. Anyways, the Santana is awesome. love the scale length, better balance than the SG, and...

    Trying amps

    I've never used a real Marshall Plexi, but I had a DSL 40 for a hot minute. The Crunch setting supposedly did a poor mans version of a plexi according the internet. But yeah, since it's more a low to mid gain amp, I used to use something in front of the amp to dial in lead tones. I found fuzzes...

    What to do while waiting

    I would clear your schedule for the first week or so once the new guitar arrives. I remember being astounded by the versatility when I got my SE Custom 24. The single coil tones from the push-pull impressed me then and still impress me months later. I started out by playing through my band's...

    Introduce yourself!

    Hi all - new member from Rhode Island here. My name is Mike and I play guitar in a band called The Kick Ups. Currently own 3 2017 SEs: Custom 24, Zach Myers, and a Santana. Hadn't heard of PRS until about a year or so ago and have been really impressed by their instruments so far. Looking...
