Yes there are many other factors that contribute to wood density/weight besides the soil that the tree is found in; such as rainfall, sunlight, growth rate, ratio of heartwood to sapwood and this is all with the same amount of moisture content. In my earlier post I was trying to stress that wood...

Trees pick up the elements and minerals in the soil in which they grow. So for example, if the soil was rich in iron or another heavy element it will be transferred to the wood. I have many Custom 24's that while virtually identical, vary in weight by nearly a pound.

Okay I should have mentioned that I have replaced the tremolo springs with new ones already. Pitch goes sharp or flat depending on which way you move. I haven't tried blocking the tremolo yet to eliminate it from the equation.

No this is just from fretting chords for example. The pitch can fluctuate with just a minimal amount of movement. This particular guitar has remained unplayed for the last ten years or so. For those of you familiar with the old Gibson SG's, this is even worse. It's amazingly touch sensitive...

I have a '92 Custom 24 that has what seems to be an overly responsive neck when it comes to pitch deflection when playing. This particular guitar is so easy to change the entire pitch with very little pressure on the neck. I was wondering if this could be an indicator of some more serious...

You might check to see if someone swapped the screws with the ones in the neck pickup.

Can anybody say definitively what type of rosewood fretboards were installed on the early 88-91 CE-24s? Were they Brazilian or Indian? I've read where PRS employees said that all CEs were made with Indian rosewood fretboards since they were the "affordable" PRS guitars of the time. I've also...

Dragon 1's are nice. I like the Deep Dish II pickups a lot but the HFS/VB combo is definitively PRS.

I recently sent my `88 Custom 24 to the PTC for a tune up. Matt with the crew at the PTC did a set up and a fret dressing/recrowning. The guitar plays amazing now! I'm so tickled with the quality and speed of the work that I had to mention it here. Thanks to all the guys at the PTC that worked...

Thanks Brad, I've seen that listing. I was hoping to find just the delay. Thanks for the reply.

I haven't tried the PTC yet, I thought I could find one of these things a little easier than what it has been.

Thanks for the reply Michael but I think there was something lost in translation. I'm actually looking for a place that sells the part -1513-135Y-.

Can anybody help me find the passive delay that attaches to the bottom of the sweet switch? I just need one to restore my `88 Custom back to its original state. Thanks

I was hoping I would be able to do the switch myself, IF they will sell me an empty amp box.

I want to rebox the amplifier from my combo into its own amp box (less the speaker). I was hoping I could buy the amp box only, that is as long as the amp of the combo and head are exactly the same configuration. Then I could simply slip the amp out of the combo and into the head box and combine...
