Hi everyone! I'm an intermediate-level player, having first picked up a guitar in my mid teens. I played on and off for roughly the last 10-15 years and about a year ago I delved into music theory and have been playing much more regularly. I have a Mexican-made Fender Telecaster as my only electric, but have been wanting to expand to include a humbucker-equipped guitar as well. I've just placed an order for an SE Custom 24, left-handed. Looks like it might be a long wait as they're on backorder, but really looking forward to a new guitar with a new neck, different scale-length, and humbuckers. Hope to find some good information, conversation, and musically-enthusiastic folks in this forum!

Fairly new to PRS guitars (SE's only so far), after playing Gibson exclusively for ten years, then Fenders since 1981.
Currently have an SE Custom 24 and SE Custom semi hollow 22. Love the neck and how light the semi hollow 22 is.
Having a tough time "getting" humbuckers (last humbucker guitar I had was a 1966 ES 335 that I traded away in the early 80's).

Welcome Nick. Long standing tradition (joke) that the guitar is thought of as a Hello Kitty ukulele until photos are up. It’s not meant as an insult, it’s just how it is on here!

Hi all - new member from Rhode Island here. My name is Mike and I play guitar in a band called The Kick Ups. Currently own 3 2017 SEs: Custom 24, Zach Myers, and a Santana. Hadn't heard of PRS until about a year or so ago and have been really impressed by their instruments so far. Looking forward to contributing here on the forum!

Welcome aboard! I spent the better part of 25 years in Austin. What I wouldn't give for big hot bowl of black beans & flour tortillas on a day like this.

Right on! I'd even take Taco Cabana right now.
(We're thankfully not lacking good Mexican food up here, just good Tex-Mex. You know the drill surely!)
