That one is my buddy's build from our July vault trip (PS 11159) = He confirmed it earlier today. Now I just want to see PS 11158, but I know my fat back / semi-hollow (no f-hole) extra options likely has it back in the que a bit.

I wanted an SC HB1 bad enough that I went the Private Stock route years ago to get some of the features that I also wanted on top of the core offerings that you can find from time to time on the used market.

Regardless of what you pick, if you are looking for a symmetrical top the selected billet needs to be fairly straight grain throughout it else you will lose symmetry as the top is carved; just something to be mindful of if you ever spec out a PS.

Am I the only one trying to read the price of that Tremonti Tribal on the wall? It's not listed on their website either.

It's really a bummer that they are even limiting the colors of opaque's thru PTC. I will admit though, that a good white PRS really shows off the curves from the violin carve; here is shot of my old CE24 to make my point:

I don't know, they look pretty good if you can appreciate the utility / simplicity of the configuration:

Pete, I love this idea and really thought hard about doing the same thing, but with just a volume knob.

Honestly Pete it doesn't have a name. Jack mixed up a few different options on a scrap / trimmed piece from my top billet and sent them to me for approval / thoughts. I still have the sample piece too (it's a special keep sake). Pretty sure we picked something in the middle of one of these...

Wish I had a picture of mine, but it was a Custom 24 Stoptail in Grey-Black with birds and a Wide Thin neck that I bought new from Guitar Center back in the day. I really wanted to LOVE the guitar as I saved up for a long time to get it (was in college at the time), but I quickly learned that...

I'm so late to the game with a post, cause I LOVE blue guitars!!! While I've had my fair share over the years, here are my current blues...

I had fun compiling images of the various McCarty variations (double cuts) that I've owned over the years. L/R: An early (I think 95) McCarty I bought used from Dave's. It was a back-up guitar to my old main CU22 from back in the day. One of the original 26 IRW McSoap Standards (bought it used...

Great find and interesting observation on the softer shoulders; likely what I had felt in the past too / why the newer ones I’ve tried felt better.

Those you know you are not at all surprised!! :cool: I saw it up on Reverb today = such a killer guitar! Fighting the urge to send you a note on the side about it, but I'm trying to keep the funds I had planned available for something else.

I tried all sorts of adjustments physical and amp settings. I think that I just found myself wanting a bit more creaminess and punch (bottom end) in the tone that I wasn't able to hear for myself. In fairness I never tried a different brand of P-90's, so maybe that would've gotten me there...

Here are my three attempts at loving a full P-90 equipped guitar (L/R). 1) IRW McSoap - My first experience with soapbars & IRW (also my first 1-piece top). 2) IRS Standard McSoap (one of the "original 26") - I had hoped the full mahogany body would help mellow out the bridge tones and add in...
