"Corny?" I don't see it. Do it anyway!

Best? I dunno about best as such but the most bitchin' awesomest SE evar was the original Allender signature. I remember thinking these stone age photos were pretty good for the time (2007). Maybe a new photoshoot is in order.

That behavior is indeed totally normal with a floating tremolo. The suggestions so far are on target.

I think I heard at the factory when the ME IIs were announced that those pickups were 57/08s. And the ME1's that dilznik mentions are quite the story. When production stopped on them, the guitars were held in the factory at whatever state of build when they were in. When the Braz rosewood...

As Jamie says, those were the pickups for the original Modern Eagle guitars in the 2004-2007 time frame. At that time they were considered among the better PRS pickups. But then the 57/08 and 59/09 pickups appeared starting in '08 and those were game-changers. The Modern Eagle 2 was released...

PRS has done various soapbar guitars over the decades, I would guess that they'll do more if they think they can sell 'em. The 594 Soapbar Limiteds were fantastic guitars, I have a hard time imagining a better P90-equipped axe.

Still honeymooning with the new MEV! I must take some pictures of my own. The photo is swiped from the dealer, but I did buy the guitar!

I think you like, um, other things too...!

I have 10 PRSi in the blue-green-purple family, ranging in build year from 2001 to 2023. One has faded (a '12 Studio in faded blue burst). Mine all get treated the same, including hanging out for weeks/months at a time in a room that gets indirect sunlight. Some PRSi fade. Most don't. Don't...

This answer probably doesn't matter since the question was asked so long ago. But I'll say this: I'm a long-time fan of the Studio, I own a 2012 model that's a freakin' phenomenal guitar. Its forte is being an HSS guitar that doesn't wimp out when you switch from the bridge humbucker to the...

Cool Space. So Many Keys! Also the best piece is that steampunk pulley lamp. Almost Giger but not quite.

Oh yeah! Those 57/08 Limiteds were a great run!

Yes indeed! :D

Ah, I remembered there's this for the newer PRS TRC:

If memory serves, I have an old-school PRS Forum TRC from the early 2000s, two BAM TRCs, and two of the anodized alumininium TRCs that Shawn helped make happen. Ah yes. I have this old photo with the OG PRSF and BAM TRCs at 5:00 and noon respectively. That picture's too old for the 2013-ish...
