    Humbucker options for a HSS modded Silver Sky SE?

    I put a Dimarzio Tone Zone S in the bridge of mine and it sounds great.

    A Beat Up PRS … Anyone Have One?

    I wish I still had my old beat up Platinum 22. I gigged that think hard and it sounded killer. Possibly my favorite PRS out of all of the many I have owned. A 2003 Custom 22 Platinum. If you have it, I want it back. :) https://postimg.cc/gallery/n1f88Qr

    Roast me all you want but I'll say it: SE is better than S2.

    I have three SE’s and a couple of S2’s. The S2’s feel and sound better but I wish they didn’t dumb them down with the SE pickups and hardware. That said, I love my SE’s for what they are and my C24 is one of those special guitars that you find one in a pile of 100.

    Why don’t they inset the control covers on S2?

    So CNC, so we are talking a minor tweak to the routing program. Other companies do it, even cheapo ones. It's not a deal breaker but it's definitely something that bugs me on an otherwise high quality instrument.

    Why don’t they inset the control covers on S2?

    This has been bugging me lately, why do they skip this detail on the S2 line or even the SE? Other companies do it, heck even Harley Benton and Epiphone have inset control covers. I dig my S2’s but that one thing really bugs me when all of my other guitars, even the most cheapie ones, have it...

    Paint Repair - Frost Green Metallic SE Starla

    Take it to an auto body paint supply shop and ask them to make you a pint or a touch-up kit. It will be a base color plus a clear coat, that is part of the challenge of touching up a metallic finish.

    Advice needed on s2 Pickup issue

    Judging by your pictures, the pickup height shouldn’t have anything to do with your strings buzzing. It is probably in need of some fret leveling. A lot of times one or more high frets will need to be seated by lightly tapping them in with a fret hammer. If your tech can’t do this kind of work...

    SE 594 Piezo compatibility?

    The best I can say is that it might work. According to some sources the saddles are interchangeable with Gibson style tuneomatics although I don’t know for sure. I don’t think the bridges are interchangeable so it would be a matter of swapping the piezo saddles over to the 594 bridge - assuming...
