They were not always engraved.Hey experts, do all 57/08 pups come engraved on the front. Or were there some polished nickel ones that did not have the engraving?
I have a different thinking on this point. For me, the LOOK of a guitar is almost as important as the sound.
‘Almost’ being the operative word.
Everyone here likes a good looking guitar. I’m sure most would also say they prefer a guitar that sounds good. It’s great to have both.
As I said, “Pick your poison,” i.e., do what you like. There are no rules.
The same can be said the other way too. I don't think I have ever heard a Paul Reed Smith that sounded bad...
I agree! Though there are some that are downright magical.
But I think that is part of the fun ..... we get to be guitar snobs when forking over that kind of dough.
Indeed!I think I’ve been using a shovel instead of a fork!
Ditto hereTed McCarty 245 with 57/08’s is simply one of the best production guitars PRS has ever released.
Thanks. The CU22 is a trem, which is not a plus for me. I like it on my strat but prefer the hardtail on all of my other guitars. The 57/08's and the hardtail are the plus for the DC245. The neck on the CU22 is its plus, along with the aesthetics. It's a dilemma, as both is just not an option right now. It may just come down to a coin!
True, true.You can change many things on a guitar but the scale length is set. So the choice is really 24.5" or 25" - that is where you need to focus.
Ha! I love this post. It's a reminder that all of our words and actions have influence in the world! Cheers, and I hope they add to the already great guitar you have in the 24.You bastages!!!!
You got me gassing for a set of 57/08 pups.
I hate you all!
p.s. just ordered a set.
But they will go in my 1989 CE24 (avatar guit) to get rid of the duncuns someone put in it.
especially in a group of addicts [like us] who would be on a PRS guitar geek forumHa! I love this post. It's a reminder that all of our words and actions have influence in the world! Cheers, and I hope they add to the already great guitar you have in the 24.
It's a crazy world, Eddie's cousin.Also, I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around Dabedat conversing with Danktat.
