NGD - Special Semi-Hollow Limited Edition in Burnt Mapleleaf

[shinksma]

So I've posted in few other threads related to the model release itself or the Expereince 2018, but I got some outside-in-sunshine shots finally, so here's a NGD thread!

I'v played it three nights in a row now, and it continues to shine, with all the various tones I can get from the pickup selections. As mentioned elsewhere, I think it has 12 different combinations of pickups and coil tapping or not.

Oh, it was slamming my Archon last night, great clean and lead tones!

Good strat position 2 and 4 tones with coil taps activated.

Trem feels great, nice and stable - as always is my Experience with PRS. (See what I did there?)

Weight is nice - I haven't weighed it, but the semi-hollow obviously helps. Not neck heavy.

A huge shout out to Brian's Guitars for having this on display at Experience 2018 - I couldn't keep my eyes off it!

Oh, and the strap was picked up at the West St Store at Experience 2018. Had to have a nice strap for my new beauty!

It’s really thoughtful of you to buy your garden a matching guitar.
A really nice guitar.

Great looking guitar. Glad to hear your thoughts on it as I am on the fence. Also love the Burnt Maple Leaf.

I’ve always liked that color.

Fantastic finish!

 

[JustRob]

Great pictures!

I can honestly say that is one beautiful guitar because I've never been a huge fan of that color, but that one makes me reconsider.

I'm a sucker for the uniqueness factor, and that finish has it.

Great finish, superb guitar, excellent strap, and good guy owner.

The perfect combination!

Wow! What a finish on a stunning guitar.

You’re a lucky guy

You bought the guitar that most caught my attention. I need to play one to satisfy my lust!

Dude, that color is seriously on point.....

“She’s a beaut Clark!”

Makes me think about flipping my neck pickup on my Brent Mason.
...or I could just get one of those!
Enjoy it.

I have a question for you. I had a Custom 22 with 3 P90's that I had to let go because the middle pickup just kept getting in the way of picking. I was constantly hitting it with either my hand or the pick or both. Does the middle narrow field pickup get in your way at all? Or is it like a Strat where you do not even notice it's there? (My apologies for that nasty "S" word).
