Yeah I think the MT100 is the closest you can get to that right now in a PRS amp that is currently offered.

PRS stamps the serial number on rosewood necks, that one is written in paint so it is mahogany.

He snagged it, says the neck feels incredible. The rosewood from that era seems a lot more figured than what is being used in more recent years. I have a 594 singlecut with a RW neck and it doesn’t have grain patterns anywhere close to that one.

Thanks for the clarification, I told him to jump on it, he’s on the other side of the country or I would pick it up for myself.

Seeking to identify a guitar that a friend of mine is buying second hand. I’m thinking it’s a 2008 Custom 24 but I’m not familiar with a lot of the older models from before that time. Just looking for some clarification from the more knowledgeable here. It’s a custom 24 with a rosewood neck...

A/B both before and after and see which one you like better. I have a comp before the drives in my chain because that's how I like it.

Interesting, is your guitar cased when not in use or does it remain out all the time? Maybe a side effect from UV exposure. I have a rosewood necked McCarty that remains in its case when I’m not playing. I haven’t noticed any color change to note.

What neck and fretboard wood does the new one have? both a maple neck and ebony board can have a brighter sound especially compared to the traditional mahogany neck and rosewood board.

On PRS hollowbodies, which are light bodied guitars to begin with, it’s the difference between having considerable neck dive and hanging balanced on a strap.

Can Michigan get two championships this year?

Nice single cut Pete, you’re really jumping back in. re: DGT, i wonder what a 25 scale McCarty with DGT pickups would get on with you’re requirements since you liked the tone but not the specs.

They do serve a purpose, I’ve always found the original metal buttons add a bit of weight to the headstock. I’ve swapped out all of my metal ones for lighter wood ones matching the headstock veneer. Makes a big difference. I couldn’t care less what shape they are as long as they still turn...

There’s a bunch of Dusty hard tails in dealers right now. Those are killer specs for heavy music.

Welcome back Pete! your threads and detailed observations have really helped me to narrow down and hone my guitar acquisitions over the last 9 years. I’ve really enjoyed watching your journey before the hiatus. That tremonti and McCarty are HOT. I love my 594’s ( I have 3) but recently decided...
