    Couple of Songs from our Full Length Album

    A few weeks ago, my band self-released its first full length album on iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, etc. Since I tracked rhythm parts with my '06 Singlecut and solos with my '14 and '17 Custom 24 Floyds, here's a couple of songs from the album. I was really happy with how the PRS guitars...

    The 80's - what was your guitar life ''Pre-PRS'' and why did you change

    My first electric was a Harmony LP copy from the JC Penney catalog. The next year my parents got me a Kramer Striker 300 ST, with an ORIGINAL original Floyd Rose, no fine tuners. I still have that guitar. The first electric I bought with my own money when I turned 16 was a Charvel Model 2...

    Full Album

    Excellent stuff. Great tones and playing and the songwriting is really strong.

    Opening for Black Stone Cherry

    Exactly. Love the \m/ pickups in the CU24 Floyd. Tight, punchy lows, fat midrange and just enough high-end bite.

    Opening for Black Stone Cherry

    About a month ago my band got to open up as local support for Black Stone Cherry, which is fronted by PRS Artist Chris Robertson. In fact, Chris bought a PRS (think it was an EG) from a guy right before the show and handed to his tech for a setup so he could play it that night. I'm playing a...

    That Les Paul tone.....

    I own 4 Les Pauls, including an R9 and a Custom, and 2 Singlecuts The Singlecuts have far better resonance and clarity than the LP's. They also cut through a band mix better, and that's what I care about. I'm fine with letting the bass handle the low end.

    MY 594 WANTS MORE GAIN. RECOMMENDATIONS?

    I've got the \m/ pickups in my Custom 24 Floyds. I'd be curious to hear them in another guitar because they sound fantastic through a high gain amp. Tight percussive lows, fat midrange, and just the right amount of high end bite.

    The Vintage Yellow Thread.

    My first PRS was an '03 CU22 in Vintage Yellow. I gigged it hard for several years and then decided to sell in a fit of temporary insanity. I really miss it! I've noticed VY doesn't appear to be available on current production models I'm interested in, which is a shame.

    Thank you much. As soon as I get past the 3 post, I am not spam or a robot phase, I'll post pics and clips from the last show.

    Introduce yourself!

    Hey y'all. Just joined this forum after recently picking up a PRS Custom 24 Floyd in violet. I've been playing for 34 years and previously owned PRS axes. I gigged with my '06 Singlecut and '03 Custom 22 for several years but ran into big expenses that forced me to sell them last year. Now...
