I know this won't be popular but of all the PRS Santana's I've owned my favorite is my Santana MD.

I have a Santana MD that I love but the “multi-dimensional” active circuit sounds thin and weak even though it is a 18 volt system. If I could look at the schematic I have a excellent repairman who could probably improve it.

I’ve got a Hollowbody II & a McCarty Spruce Hollowbody, they are my main gigging guitars.

WOW! This would be my dream guitar.

The DG Custom 30 and cabinet is my dream amp to own some day but would you guys think I'm crazy if I added the Fender tilt-back hardware to the amp & cab? I love the tone of my fenders tilted back (Tremolux, Super Reverb & Deluxe) and I was wondering how the DG30 would sound like that? The legs...

I have been on both ends of the spectrum, I have gigged with a 100 watt Orange amp and with a 5 watt Bad Cat minicat II and both approaches have there pro & con but I have settled on a 40 watt Fender Super Reverb as my current main amp because it has enough headroom, love the tone of 4x10's, and...

If I could have any amp in the world it would be the DG Custom 30 & Cab, Someday it will be mine!!!!

I play my PRS Hollowbody II single cut into a Super Reverb Reissue. I played a Super Reverb back in the early 70's and loved the tone then spent the next 35 years going from amp to amp chasing different sounds, then 2 months ago I bought a used SRRI and set the bias at 33ma and the tone I was...

I will have to buy without trying first so which model to you guys recommend? I play everything from rockabilly to classic rock to blues in a three piece band, I have to have a good clean tone so I need at least enough headroom for that, I play with a Guild Starfire IV 90% of the time. For...

I carry a Tech 21 Fly Rig 5 in my gigbag, I set up my normal rig with an A/B box as the first pedal and the A side goes to my pedals and then to my Bad Cat , the B side goes to the FR5 then to the PA. With this set-up if my amp or pedals ever go down I step on the the A/B box and the show goes...

I use a Bad Cat Alley Cat 1X12 combo, if I need more volume I hookup my Unleash. Lightweight & simple rig.

I agree with an earlier post, go for a Bad Cat Mini Cat, it may only be 5 watts but the tone is killer and with my Bad Cat Unleash I get as loud as I want!

CE for the win!

I heard back from my local PRS dealer today and the DG Custom 30 in a combo cabinet is a no go! To bad, I was really hoping this would happen.

Called PRS direct and the person I would need to talk to wasn't in today, talked to my local PRS dealer and he says he'll get back to me in 2-3 days but feels that we should have a pretty good chance at getting the combo! You guys will be the first to know if this goes through.
