    Now this (to me) is blatant plagiarism

    I like the body carve on the Severn better, but the pickguard and configuration more on the Vela

    HFS/VB vs 85/15

    Heart HFS/VB combo. favs are definitely the McCarty's though. Tried a few guitars with the 85/1's and never really made friends with them. I'll agree wth gush though, the HFS/VB combo definitely handles lower tunings very well.

    New Shinedown Video :)

    New (sort of) Shinedown video for "I'll Follow You." Great song, Mr. Myers there slinging the HB and doing a bit of a Slash/November Rain impression :)

    What artists influenced or what prompted you to get PRS gear?

    I gotta be honest, live the sounds that sound the best are the one's he uses his PRS guitars on. The Big G's don't sound as great

    Not loving my Archtop bridge pickup.

    I have to say this as I'm a huge fan of the HB models, especially the McCarty models. I noticed that you mentioned that you are playing a HB2. I'm pretty sure if you check the specs you will find that they are regular pickups and they are not voiced archtop pickups like the ones that were...

    Thoughts on the Zach Myers Signature SE

    Hate to say this, but I actually got rid of mine. Got a great deal on it a few years back but never quite vibed well with it. It played very nice while sitting down, but standing it just didn't feel right. At the time that I bought it I only had one hollowbody, but now that I have two McCarty...

    HFS - who else loves it?

    I use a CU, not CE but I agree with you in regards to the versatility when used with the 5-way rotary, which I also love. Ditto on being able to pull off SRV with it as well. A buddy of mine is way into that style and occasionally uses my CU24 for playing blues because he loves the...
