Thank you all for the responses. You’ve given me a lot to think about!

Hello, I bought a new 2020 Core PRS Custom 24 (built on 6/30/2020) this afternoon and just finished setting it up. I bought the guitar from Guitar Center and it was unplayable from the store (unless it was intended solely for slide). While in the store, I determined it was not possible to get...

I find this thread to be very informative actually, and it further stokes my interest in a 594.

Hot damn, that's a nice one!

I am down to only three PRS guitars currently (Zappa PS and two 408's), and I have to say that the 408's sound much better under high gain than the 57/08, though semi-hollow nature of the Zappa could play a role in that.

That's a sweet collection of Periphery stuff! I had two of the Holcomb models that I really liked, but I have come to learn that signature gear and I don't really get on all that well. They were totally fantastic guitars though and I sometimes regret letting them go. *I realize the seeming...

Dunlop Jazz III Max-Grip picks have worked well for me. They require you to focus more on controlling your pick hand motion (since they are smaller) and they have made my playing much tighter and less sloppy. A regular sized pick feels oversized to me now. That being said, I have some pick...

My favorite doesn't exist yet (maybe some day through PS program), but I would MELT for a P24 Semi-Hollow.

I don't understand how your post is different than mine?

I think a few separate things are being argued by the haters with various degrees of accuracy and/or truth. Are SE's a great value for their price point? Absolutely. I would stack an SE up against anything any other guitar maker is selling at the comparable price points. Are they as good...

I will have to grab pics of it from my Dad's house later in the week as he maintains our parts stash.
