    Two months wear on CE24, not a good investment

    Im not a professional in fact started learning guitar just over a year ago. Half of that time playing only my acoustic. I bought a CE24 and an SE24 August 2020 and a Telecaster a month ago, which has been used more than its share in the past month. The hours played on each guitar is unknown but...

    Going from 10s to 9s on custom 24..what to do

    My impression was that all PRS guitar were supposed to be set up prior to sale, am I wrong? I just bought a Se24 online from PRS dealer and intonation is terrible. It is almost impossible, impossible now due to `covid, for me to find a luthier where I live. Is there any brand guitar that comes...

    Thanks bro, that guitar still lost but being investigated by UPS. For that reason I have decided to keep the guitar. It is not an unattractive color, just not my preference. The preference and effect of colors on people is actually pretty interesting. Green for you is calming but for me disease...

    I have no idea what the Bluest guitar contest is about but wanted to let you know the latest. The Ce24 shipped from the US is still lost and being investigated by UPS so I kept the wrong color guitar. I needed to get at least one of these guitars and the CE24 could be lost forever and reality...

    PRS color advertised not what you get

    Bummer, I have a black acoustic now and hoping to get some color into my life but may have to start considering another black, grey or white. The only stores I can go to are in Guadalajara and it is unsafe right now due to the Covid and the poverty it has caused down here. Another problem I...

    Guitpick Im not into wasting my time either. I suspect no conspiracy but question the inspectors latitude with regards colors. This guitar simply does not resemble the color in the ad. At a paint store when you choose a color they have a formula and mix .5oz of white, 1oz blue and 1oz red to get...

    PRS color advertised not what you get

    It was a combination of buying a Ce24 through Sweetwater which ended up getting lost by UPS then ordering the Se24 only to receive a totally unexpected color. Lost two guitars in a matter of days. Im sure I will get over it. I had watched a lot of youtube videos on PRS guitars and saw there were...

    You are right and not a jerk. First guitar bought online and lesson learned. Problem for me is access to another dealer as the only distributer for PRS in Mexico is Guitargear which is online sales only and have already told me that the rest of the sapphire guitars they have look like mine so...

    Beautiful guitar! Good advise. It was only the second guitar I had bought online and the first seller sent me photos of the actual guitar prior to shipping and the color so close to ad I made the mistake of assuming all the ads showed guitars with colors that were close to what was in their ads.

    Sorry if the post came across that way. I posted that I had no problem returning. However I did see an awesome guitar for sale and bought it only to receive a guitar no one would mistake for the one in the ad. By the way waiting at home for a day for delivery, now three days for pickup, and...

    Yes the amber is amber not at all orange. Orange is one of my least favorite colors but the amber is subtle but sweet. I just went to my brothers photos but unable to copy to post but the PRS ads show a smoked amber that was very close to what I received if you want to see. Wish I had one.

    Thank you brother, that is my point. Some may love orange but not what I ordered. Are you familiar with Murphys law? I am one and it is a curse. The smoked amber guitar was bought a Sweetwater and shipped to my brothers because Sweetwater does not ship to Mexico, where I am living. He opened the...
