I thought you guys might like to hear about the fret wear on my Strat that has Jescar stainless frets. I have about 6000 hours of playing time on these frets. The frets are the largest that Jescar makes (model 58118-S), which are .058" tall and .118" wide. I had these frets installed in January...

Paul is great at marketing and he spins the product messaging to support whatever current construction methods/materials they are using. I think guitar players in general find the less pieces of wood used to make a body or neck equals better quality. I tend to follow that thought process as...

Thanks for the advice guys! I really appreciate it! When a power tubes fails, is there a risk it could damage my amp? Also wanted to ask about the characteristics of volume fluctuations on a failing power tube. Does the sound get louder and softer and louder and softer, repeating this over and...

These tubes are 1950's RCA 6V6.

Hey guys - I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy! My amp has had the same set of 6V6 tubes for three years. This amp gets played 3-4 hours per day at cranked high volume. We're talking 3600+ hours on these tubes. I use an attenuator to get the volume level down to a nice...

PSA: For anyone looking for a nice NF3... https://austin.craigslist.org/msg/d/austin-prs-paul-reed-smith-nf3-mint/6839941729.html

I took it back to the tech today. He said he misread the diagram originally. He fixed it. All is good now. Thanks for the reply!

This is a 1999 CE-22 with the PRS Dragon II pickups. I had my tech get rid of the 5-way rotary and rewire to a 3-way toggle with a push/pull on the tone control. When I pull the tone control knob to tap the coil and put the 3-way selector in the middle position, I hear 60-cycle hum. Is 60-cycle...

I had a DGT and I also own pattern regular neck PRS guitars, as well as a Clapton V-Neck Strat. There is no V in a DGT neck IMO. DGT feels like a C neck to me - similar to a 59 Les Paul or a C neck ES-335. .

Thanks guys!

Did 1999 CE-22 have nitro finish on body and neck? Finish color is McCarty sunburst with rosewood board and maple neck.

I just bought a minty all original 1999 CE22 yesterday for close to your pricing. IMO if you can get a old original CE24 or CE22 for ~$1100, it is a unbelievable deal. My CE22 and old CE24 (1991) sound far better than my 2012 DGT. I just sold my DGT by the way, because it never got played...

Here's a mint 2002 CE-24 for $1100. I'd be all over this deal if I was in the market for a PRS around $1000 https://www.ebay.com/itm/2002-PRS-CE-24-in-excellent-condition-/272972668700

CE24 and my Friedman Pink Taco amp

Thank you!
