NYXL Balanced Tension 9's and 10's.

The obvious solution is to set the action where you want it, and if the string(s) are touching the back of the bridge, then just raise the tail piece until they're not. I have a '23 McCarty 594 with the tail piece decked on the body i.e. as low as it will go. Only my low-E is touching the back...

Regarding the TCI pickups in the new 24-08, here's a quote from the man himself (PRS) in the reddit\guitar forum from a few weeks ago: "I love the sound of P90s, but they hum like banshees. Our TCI pickup is a P90 without hum."

I asked this exact same question recently. General consensus: don't touch it.

This is an interesting discussion! I have 14 guitars, some "cheapies", some not (USA PRS', Gibsons, Fenders, Jacksons). My wife recently asked me if I were to unexpectedly pass, what should she do with all my guitars, speakers, amps and all those black things with all the buttons and knobs...

Ah, OK - straight from the source! Won't be oiling it then. BUT won't the bird inlays possibly lift too? Never had a problem with my other guitars with various types of inlays (pearl, plastic, abalone).

Just got my first Core PRS, a Custom 24-08. The rosewood fretboard is gorgeous, and I will oil it occasionally as I do on my other guitars with rosewood boards. The front of the headstock appears to be rosewood as well. Is it necessary to oil it too?

Perfect, thanks! Ivory it is!

Great pic, thanks! Are the middle ones white or ivory? (Sorry, can't tell). And do they match the neck binding better than the top ones?

Hi All. On the current McCarty SE 594 guitars that have the non-black pickup rings - are they white, cream or ivory? I have a Faded Blue 594 arriving in a couple days and want to swap the black rings for one of the aforementioned non-black colors, preferably to match the neck binding as close...
