Love it!

I didn’t used to care for charcoal but some of the PRSi I’ve seen lately (including yours) with that finish have really grown on me, particularly with the gold hardware. Enjoy that beauty!

Rock on!

I love that beautiful black board and purfling. The purfling really does it for me. Lovely guitar!

Yes!!!

That is one sexy beast!

Classic beauty!

Wow! Thanks for that input; that must have been a huge disappointment. As you say, your observations may or may not be attributable to the ash neck but you never know.

Thanks for the reply. Do you reckon they might use carbon fiber because Ash is inherently weaker than other woods typically used for necks?

I have seen a few Private Stock guitars listed for sale online recently that use Ash for necks. I had never seen that wood used for guitar necks before. I wonder why PRS is using Ash for necks and how it compares to more commonly used woods in terms of tone and stability. Has anyone out there...

Fender medium.

While I don’t think there is any absolute answer here my personal experience is that guitars that weigh in the range of 7.25 to 8.25 pounds will work out best for me.

Thanks for posting; I really enjoyed that!

Start with something simple and build from there.

No roadies?
