My mancave is the same way.... Everytime I think "I should buy some drywall and replace the panelling" then I end up buying new gear instead. I just bought one of those free standing lighting trusses the other day. :o

I spent years obsessing about so many minute details with gear... through all the years with rock bands and even when running sound for other bands... until a few years ago I started running sound for an acoustic pop trio. When they started, they had some of the cheapest off the shelf gear, but...

I'm Baimun and I first became obsessed with PRS guitars around 1988 or so where I played a weird swirly-gunmetal guitar from a manufacturer I had never heard of in a local music store. I was just a poor kid playing pawn shop guitars and used amps. Flash forward many years, bar bands, and...

This is fun. :D

Hey! Been a while. I ended up getting a rosewood neck'd PRS goldtop after checking out your McCarty.

I think you made the right trade. That's a really sweet CE!

IU has made some amazing progress over the past few years. They've gone from a practically non-existent team to one that can go toe to toe with MSU and Ohio State. It's heartbreaking when you score almost 50 points but your team still loses. We were on campus getting soaked for the ND /...

Manti Te'o is a beast! The tailgate this weekend will be out of hand!!!

Not that it will sound "bad", but an acoustic has a wider spectrum of frequencies, so having a full range speaker and a tweeter or horn will capture more of the acoustic properties than a guitar speaker which is purposefully designed to work in a narrow frequency spectrum that a guitar sits in.

Well the headstock posted is from my CU22IRW and I got those buttons from StewMac. They're Schaller style and they fit on my Phase II's. I'd have to see PII and PIII buttons side by side to see if they could be modded to fit (I think I needed to sand the opening of the buttons a bit... it's...

Welcome. You've found a great source of information (and entertainment) on this board.

This isn't BaM. BaM is rolled up into Vintage Rocker now. This is a new PRS company owned forum. While the VR site is probably a little looser in format, this is more of a direct pulse at what's going on in the factory. We've already seen some input based on things being done right now in...
