    I'mmmmmm Baaaaaaaaack! (incoming)

    The last two dark cherry sunburst 10 tops I picked up looked to have serious dead spots in the stock photos but had amazing, 3-dimensional grain/flame in-person. All about the particular angle they took the pics at. I’m sure it’ll be the same for yours! PRS doesn’t often miss on 10 tops

    Tone questions and Cu24

    Just looking at the videos you posted, he's on the bridge pickup in the first one, probably with the coil tap/split on. There isn't a great equivalent on the 5-way switch for that, but positions 2 and 4 (the in-betweens) are generally pretty good for thinner, quacky, funky tones. You might also...

    Next arrow for the quiver?

    I went with the hollowbody II pictured below! But a Santana hollowbody does exist out there... Just out of my price range! That particular spot isn't hazing, just glare! There are a few spots with finish hazing, but thankfully they're hard to see. I think one on the lower edge of the right...

    Next arrow for the quiver?

    Yeah, I shy away from 3-pickup guitars because they get in the way of my picking. Not sure why the silver sky doesn’t bother me the same way! Some day! In fact there’s a nice retro up on reverb for under 3k… but I don’t think my wife would be too pleased after just purchasing another 35th...

    NUGD: I’ve gone full clownburst

    Quick update for anyone interested - unfortunately I just couldn't get along with the narrower pattern regular neck after so many years of pattern thin and pattern necks, so this beauty had to go back. Surprisingly, it's already re-listed at the same low (in my opinion) price of 2999. Really a...

    NUGD: I’ve gone full clownburst

    Yeah, I think since it’s a classic finish it’s been copied and probably done poorly on a lot of cheaper guitars over the years, hence the bad rap. Have to agree with most on this thread though that PRS does it right!

    NUGD: I’ve gone full clownburst

    Thanks all! I'm definitely enjoying the look so far. That's what I'm banking on! I also feel less worried about scrapes and dings on a more traditionally colored/finished guitar for whatever reason, not sure why that is. Something about a more vintage finish looking even better with some light...

    NUGD: I’ve gone full clownburst

    I used to consider myself more of a fan of more interesting, modern colorways on my PRSi, but the times they are a-changin’ I suppose. My workhorse recently has been a charcoal purple burst Custom 24 35th anniversary which I love, but I’ve been eyeing guitars with the same layout (35th or 24-08)...

    NGD - Finally picked up a core!

    Wow, that is straight up stunning! Plus being satin with a killer top and color, outline birds, and rosewood neck? Killer. Congrats!

    NGD 594 SC Semi-hollow

    Was watching this exact specimen at one point before I decided to go with an HBII - great snag and a beauty of a guitar!

    It's Winter ..time to pull out those quilts ...

    My Custom 24 Floyd - quilt reminiscent of either hot lava or cheetos, you decide! Close enough to a cheetah-print 80s hair metal machine for me...

    PRS McCarty 594 Hollowbody II being discontinued? Also, is this a good color?

    Possibly! That would be neat, but I'm inclined to think the 594 hollowbody would keep with the rest of the 594 line, implying maybe there are some changes coming to the stock pickups across all the 594s. Would be cool if the non-594 HBII got a pickup update too if the 58/15LTs are being deprecated!

    A new pickup??? Really curious what that might be...

    PRS McCarty 594 Hollowbody II being discontinued? Also, is this a good color?

    I sincerely hope that's not true - even though I have an HBII Piezo already I'm definitely a fan of the 594 layout.
