I have a 2016 CE24 with factory 85/15 pickups. Great guitar, love it! I also have a SSH with 58/15LTs. I'm thinking of swapping my 85/15 out of the CE24 - they are a bit "generic" sounding to me. So...I want something "hot" like the 85/15 that is definitely different from the 58/15,LTs. I've...

Great thread! My main goal here is for band practice. We don't mic up - the other guitarist uses a tube amp, bassist on a giant amp and the drummer makes us shake. I ended up buying Two Notes Opus, running that into an orange pedal baby, and then using that to power a 1x12 cabinet. For the cost...

Hi, just dropped my SSH off at PTC for some work. I asked if Paul would sign my guitar and they said the backplate would be signed. For those who have the backplate signed, did you put it back on your guitar? If so, what brand/product did you specifically spray on the plastic so the signature...

I was a little disappointed that my PRS SSH case didn't come with feet on the bottom. Any recommended brands for me to install them myself?

So I'm looking for a move from from analog to digital about. We can have an argument all day long because that's good and bad, but for me and my set up, I need to have the flexibility for both. Anyway, any thoughts on if PRS will release their own FRFR? Seems like everyone's in on it, with...

Soo, I'm thinking of adding a volume pedal to the front of my chain. Are there multi-fx volume pedals out there? I'm envisioning the form factor of a cry baby that can switch between volume, wah, expression, etc.

@aamefford I sort of thought the same thing about Kemper. I've been considering moving towards the full modeler thing instead of lugging amps around. While I acknowledge they led the market, their hardware doesn't seem to have improved. Anyone with experience think they need to upgrade their...

Also, I'll throw out there that if I do get a modeler like a Kemper, I've read that pushing it through the effects loop instead of through the front of the amp really helps get the tone from the modeler much cleaner. So in essence, everything just goes in front of the modeler, and then the...

Just throwing this out there, I agree that the Boss Nextone is super useful. I've considered getting a modeler, and may in the future, but the Nextone sounds awesome in a band mix, had lots of options to play at bedroom levels, doesn't weight 4 tons and it's easy to use! Switching tube emulators...

:) Well, I can report that my CE24 has not exhibited the same dust, so I guess that's a good comparison!

I'm so psyched! Recently, I picked up a Special Semi-hollow black gold burst 10-top. It's quite amazing to look at, and even more fun to play! Two questions: 1) After a fun session playing, I notice a little white dust on the body. It wipes away with a microfiber but I've never noticed this...

@neil godbole would you mind sending my the schematic for the mod? I would love to take to a tech and give it a try!

Thanks, all. Totally understand. I'm a believer in "you get what you pay for", so I'm all in for paying for quality, just don't want to pay more than everyone else! :) Good analysis on the used vs. new prices, too. Really helping me make a decision. Thanks, again!

Ive been watching used and new prices for the semi-hollow special for the last few months. It looks like the used market for these have gotten thin over the last few months and the new advertised prices have gone up a bit. Anyway, does anyone have any rhyme or reason to death the prices for...

Thanks, I checked out the sites! I'm debating on a Special 22. Anyone have a comprehensive list of what is changed out? p/U screws, tuner buttons, tremelo screws, strap buttons... Based on the prices I've seen, I'm thinking $200 is parts, does that add up to your experience?
