    What's Up with this Headstock Logo?

    Yeah as a company they are a financial disaster right now so it sounds like they are trying to protect margin. Off topic I suppose.... sorry... ;-)

    Core Trem Bar Without the Plastic Tip Possible?

    I had two spares here so I did a bit of experimenting. First tip came off easily with a hair dryer. Second one not so much - had to cut it off. It may have come off with the hair dryer eventually but I lost patience with it.

    Core Trem Bar Without the Plastic Tip Possible?

    Yeah since I was changing the tip anyway I just cut the old one off but it wasn’t easy.

    Core Trem Bar Without the Plastic Tip Possible?

    I believe they are smooth when you take the tip off. At least the one I have was when I was trying to change the tip. Not sure how they attach those tips though - it was nearly impossible to get off.

    Wood Library Korina and Ebony Hollowbody II vs Regular Hollowbody II

    Used to have an HBII with a Korina neck. I also have a 594 with Korina body and neck. To me it gives a guitar a bit more pop and clarity. I love Korina as a “tone wood”. Overall I’d say the Korina neck and ebony board would make a guitar with a lot of clarity, definition and brightness.

    Enhanced pictures on online sites

    As a former semi-serious-amateur-photography-hobbiest (haha!) this is actually something I’ve given a lot of thought to. In general I think what’s happening is that most retailers have gotten really good at photographing guitars. It’s actually very tricky and, particularly in the last couple of...

    Let's see your gray PRS....

    yeah I get that and sometimes I’ll walk away from a guitar I see online for a few days just to see how it “ages”. All the ones I’ve posted here are guitars that I couldn’t get out of my head for days or even weeks. Luckily I work with some great retailers and I am confident in PRS quality and...

    Let's see your gray PRS....

    Indeed that was in the box! Private Stock Hollowbody II from the recent NAMM show. I spotted it about a week ago and literally lost sleep over it. Finally couldn’t take it anymore and cracked. Haha. Beautiful guitar. Think the color is called Faded Trampas Green Smoke Burst or similar.

    Let's see your gray PRS....

    It’s not strictly gray (grey?) but it’s close. More to follow after some acclimation. And by acclimation I mean as soon as my wife leaves the house. :-)

    Let's see your gray PRS....

    Shortish version..... After avoiding them for some time, I finally "discovered" PRS a few years ago and was immediately smitten. After many years of other brands, I fell in love with the quality, consistency and playability of PRS. A little over a year ago though, I went deep into the world of...
