My method... get the husband. Pop out the battery contraption from hell. Hold the freakin thing very tight while said husband uses a screwdriver to pry out the old battery. Once it's out without breaking any wires, mop the brow and swear a little bit. Then, hold the freakin battery thing very...

Thank you so much! I ordered one. :)

Thanks all for the responses! I will try MannMade. I don't want to modify the existing arm, just in case I want to try a longer length again. Cheers!

Might be a stupid question, but I'd like to put a shorter trem arm on my SE SAS. It's my first guitar with a trem, so still adjusting to it. Does anyone have a link to a drop in replacement that's not quite as long as the original? Doesn't seem as if my girlie hands quite fit the stock one so...

Music Store Live in CA has a few (maybe 4) Iri Blue in stock. They were kind enough to send me photos of the actual guitars. Two of them are under 8 lbs, There are some out there in PA as well. Not too hard to find if you don't mind looking and if you don't have to try before you buy.

I was going to buy my SE HBII from Sweetwater, but my sales rep couldn't match the price from the store I ultimately bought it from.

When I bought my SE HBII Piezo around a year ago, it was on Reverb, already discounted (they listed it as used/mint, but I knew it was new-that's a game retailers play to avoid MAP), so I called the shop and offered another 8% less than the price on Reverb. They accepted it right away. I only...

I agree with both of you for sure. I was just surprised that the store wouldn't honor the discount on Reverb when it looks like lots of retailers are. Seemed peculiar. And I know the Reverb fees to the seller now are what, 8-10%?

So, there is a store in FL that lists guitars on Reverb. They had a Iri Blue SAS that I was interested in, but it's listed at full price. I messaged them asking if they would honor the PRS 20% off sale and they said they "are unable to honor the sale on reverb but we are in our physical store."...

Wow, what a fantastic guitar!

Why not sell the HBII and get the HBII w/Piezo and then get the Thinline as well? I have the SE HBII w/Piezo and it's very light , versatile, and very playable. I know that many of the reviews of the Thinline said it was the best of the McCarty's. That way, you could have both.

Andertons did a review of this pedal. It sounds so cool, and I don't even know how to use a pedal :>. It's worth watching just to see how giddy it makes Lee and Pete. They both went crazy over it.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. Sending you thoughts and prayers.

Yes, mine is a little sloppy, too. Same as yours... pot tight and secure, but the toggle feels cheap.
