Playing catch-up here, thanks so much for laying this out! This is really good info!

Congrats! I had one for a while, something about the Wide/Fat neck on a Strat-style guitar was just incredible.

That’s a great story about the chewing gum! Desperate times… And yeah, I had a Casino that I ended up giving to my dad. It’s a beautiful guitar, I still look forward to playing it when I go over to his place. I also have a 3-pickup Riviera with Bigsby. I was so nervous to buy an Epi with a...

Seriously. I’ll always love my Epi LP because it was my first electric, but…the SE’s are orders of magnitude better. I can’t imagine how different things would’ve been if teenage me could’ve heard what a guitar sounds like when it plays in tune above the third fret.

Yeah, I’ve seen some cool ones, but a lot of them have seemed just a tad too dark for my tastes, like they obscure the grain somewhat.

That’s great to know, and super helpful. Thank you!

Yeah, it seems like that was explored and shot down on one of the other threads, but I appreciate the suggestion. I hope PRS eventually cracks that nut and finds a way to build some protection in.

That’s a good point; it’s not like the fade is irreversible if it really comes down to it. Thanks!

That’s good to hear! Sounds like maybe it’s more a concern with regular prolonged exposure than occasional exposure. That’s encouraging, thank you!

So I just recently read all the threads about blue finishes fading, and as of now, my two blue PRSi live in their cases. (I figure Les was right about 53/10’s, he’s probably right about this). Here’s my question though: It’s likely that sometime in the new year I’ll get to play some daytime...

Ya’ know, the thought had crossed my mind… funny enough I actually briefly owned one, but that individual guitar was a train wreck. A friend of mine bought a high-end Martin from the same shop on the same day, and it also had serious issues, so I think it was something with the shop rather than...

Thank you all so much, this was all very helpful! Given the feedback here, I'm thinking I'll keep my eye on both, see if I can find a way to play one, and let the market decide (on which I buy FIRST!) by which offers me a deal first. I'll post back when I pull the trigger. Again, thanks so much!

Oh! Should mention I've read all the threads on this topic I could find, but many of those seemed to focus on piezo/coil tap or neck shape differences, or involve private stock vs. Core differences, or use older model pickups of one compared to a new one of another. That was all informative, but...

Hello team, I've been a lurker here for years, but just finally made an account today. I've really appreciated learning from all your posts, and I'm hoping you can help me with this question. I recently got a big promotion at work and have been planning to celebrate with a purchase of my dream...
