On other quick question .. I noticed you do not have the rotary switch. Did you replace it with the 3-way or a 3-way w/a push pull tone pot?

I have 2 CE22s .. one is a 1994, the other is a 2003 that I just took in on a trade. I love the 1994 w/ the original Dragons. The 2003 .. not so much with the Dragon 2s. I have a set of Thornbuckers and also Wolfetones that i will try .. i may resort a set of Lovers. BY THE WAY .. my 2003 is a...

I've owned about 7 PRS's over the years .. CE's, McCarty's .. Tremonti's. The Terms and MCC's were sold. They were stunning looking and played well .. but were both distant second place to my 1990 CE24 and 1993 CE22. BY THE WAY .. the 24 is Ferrari RED and the 22 is BLACK. Some guitars have...

Yup .. I’m a big XTC fan and was fortunate enough to see them in 1982 on the Black Sea tour. Thanks for sharing.

It’s the wood … ridiculously inconsistent. Go to a big box store, blindfold yourself and have a rep put 4 identical models in front of you. You will inevitably pick one as your favorite. One will have more “life” than the others. Before you take off the blindfold, say a prayer that you haven’t...

The best PRS is the one that YOU prefer and puts a smile on your face when you play it. I have 2 .. a 1990 CE24 and 1994 CE22. Both solid colors .. RED and BLACK. They may be the most anti-PRS PRS guitars out there .. bolt on necks, no less. I've owned 2 McCartys and one Tremonti .. all...

So .. about 2 years ago i picked in (in trade on the TGP) a 2019 McCarty DC. Light as a feather, plays great and i even found out that it is the exact guitar that was shown at the early 2020 NAMM show. It is actually in the YT video. I believe that PRS was showing it to describe a handful of...

Very helpful .. thanks. What was confusing is that the labeling on the rotary switch is BRW for each pickup (left to right). I was familiar with the HFS/Vintage deal (I have a 1990 CE24), so i just assumed the Dragon 1's were the same way. Thanks again.

I bought a used 1995 ce22 in pretty good condition with the exception of the wiring. It has 2 original Dragon 1s and they test normal in terms of resistance, etc. When I wired the pickups to the rotary switch (black, red, white) .. left to right for each pickup, positions 7 and 9 were WAY out...

Very very helpful … thank you. I actually spoke with a gentleman early today that also came highly recommended named Tom Brantley. http://tombrantleyrewinds.com/everything-else I was pretty clear that he had all the PRS info for a Dragon I Treble pickup. He was very nice and assured me that...

I just picked up a 1995 CE22 ... outstanding guitar and it plays just as well as my 1990 CE24. The issue is that the Dragon I Treble pickup is dead. Does anyone know of a reliable tech that can do a rewind? I have a note to PRS customer service, but haven't heard back yet. Thanks a bunch!

It's winter .. it happens with my R7 Les Paul as well. I say turn up loud and play some Pat Travers tunes! .. problem solved (kinda).
