    Disappointed with my first PRS

    I would exchange it, sounds like they had a problem with a batch of paint or topcoat.

    Why is the SE CE 24 so cheap?

    I suspect labor costs are the limiting factor, and getting a snug joint fit takes more of that than a Good Enough™ neck pocket screwed to a neck.

    Ted McCarty's estate and PRS suing Gibson

    Yeah, I read the article to see what y'all were talking about with that, and summed up what I understood they were proposing.

    New Wide Thin profile

    I went to their page, they only seem to have 1 SE Custom, and they don't list the neck profile for it. It's probable they are just rounding the numbers to the MM, it seems more likely that the giant instrument warehouse is going to be off in something as compared to the manufacturer.

    Ted McCarty's estate and PRS suing Gibson

    I appreciate your position, and you have sound arguments, but I also kinda hate what Gibson has become, so I am obviously biased. The last thing Gibson cares about is honoring anything, they just want to appease their investors who want that $$$, yo. The game is rigged, the lawyers are always...

    Ted McCarty's estate and PRS suing Gibson

    Do you think it's a total coincidence that they named it Theodore? Don't you think that people would wonder why a company which has never given a guitar a person name that didn't have something significant to their history would suddenly name a guitar the equivalent of "Bob"? It's clear they...

    Is anyone else bothered by the larger fret size of some current PRS models?

    I am really glad they put the larger frets on the SS, makes it so much more playable for me. But, smaller frets are easy to make! Get an aggressive fret leveling, or just tell them to make them the height you like!
