    PRS SE Custom 24

    For a post 2012 SE Custom 24, the 3 way blade is a standard neck/both/bridge switch and the tone knob is a coil split for both pickups. When in doubt, you can always test which coils are active in which switch positions by firing up your amp and then tapping on the slugs or screws with something...

    New bridge for the S2

    Messed with it a little more since I am kind of drowning in mahogany H-H guitars already. Figured I'd do something a little different with this one. So now it's got the PRS USA bridge, a Vintage Vibe P90 in the neck, a Duncan JB in the bridge, Schaller strap locks, and Schaller black ebony...

    New bridge for the S2

    I don't know any tricks, hah. I measured the height/clearance of the old bridge coming off, made sure the new screws are even with a straight edge and a level, and tweaked the claw until the bridge itself sat level. I don't know if that counts as OCD; I just wanted to get it right the first time!

    New bridge for the S2

    Guitar forums, man. If I didn't spend time on 'em, I never would have thought to change the bridge on my S2 Std 24. Because of these forums, I learned that the S2s have cheaper cast/zinc bridges and, despite not really having a problem with that, I got it in my head to go messing with something...

    Opinions: Orange With Green?

    I switched it back already. I appreciate your blunt frankness, but I feel like "and then you killed it" may have been slight hyperbole! Perhaps this will make you feel better!

    Anyone else lusting after this burnt maple leaf CU24 on reverb?

    That's pretty cool. Not exactly my jam, but I can appreciate it. This is my Reverb crush right now: https://reverb.com/item/2015456-prs-studio-2011-eriza-verde I love the model, I love the color, and it's a killer price. I bought myself a PRS far too recently though and I can't possibly...

    Opinions: Orange With Green?

    Thanks much for the honest feedback! The comments about the hard metal rings against the soft nitro (and this is a very soft nitro) made me switch it back for now, though. Gotta find somewhere else to use these green parts now because they look amazing.

    Opinions: Orange With Green?

    Oh yeah, huh? Maybe best not chance it, then. I was on the fence cosmetically and this is a compelling point.

    Also, not really related, but check this pic out - you can see how much the nitro is sinking into the wood finish. It feels amazing.

    Opinions: Orange With Green?

    I found a guy who makes anodized aluminum parts in various colors and decided to try some out. Here are Guique aluminum pickup rings, knobs, and strap lock buttons in "soft lime." It had cream rings, amber knobs, and gold buttons before. What do you think? Be completely honest, please! My wife...

    You've got to be kidding me; that is unbelievable.

    Post pictures of your favorite inlay!

    This has always been my favorite as well, but the etched birds are what I would go for on my own hypothetical custom job.
