    Disappointed with NGD, time for another SE?

    Funny, I will have two signature PRS guitars, but I’m actually not all that familiar with either artist. I need to Spotify some DG soon.

    Is it worth switching from 85/15s to 85/15?

    I had the the 85/15s in my s2 CU24, and regular 85//15 in a CE24, thought they sounded similar. Liked both.

    And this is what I ordered this evening.

    Disappointed with NGD, time for another SE?

    I'm sure I will adapt too. My S2 CU24 had a pattern regular neck, which I think is very similar to the DGT. A bit thicker. Then I got the CE24, which was thinner for sure. I thought I would prefer that, but found I kinda missed the chunkier neck. Ended up selling both, lol. The SS SE seems like...

    Interesting, makes sense. I am guessing that the DGT S pickups are probably the same as the Core.

    I'm not sure I want/like/need tall frets. I used to not feel I was very picky about this stuff. But this recent guitar has me thinking differently. I'm also having nerve/neck issues, and my left thumb is quite numb right now, not the index finger but it's close to affecting it. PRS doesn't...

    Disappointed with NGD, time for another SE?

    Looks like the DGT SE is getting the love. I will say SW when I emailed them this morning, responded back lightning fast, sent me a return slip for FedEx, and then confirmed that they have found the quality on the DGT SE to be very, very good. So I'm heavily leaning this way now. Will be a good...

    One question for the group. What are the size frets for their SE models? I assume medium jumbo, but I'm not sure I ever see it listed anywhere.

    Disappointed with NGD, time for another SE?

    So last week after what I thought was much deliberation and research, I got a new guitar, a Charvel SoCal Mod San Dimas HSS M HT (no pickguard, HSS pickups from Seymour Duncan), maple neck and a hard tail, no Floyd Rose). It's not a PRS, and you may be wondering why I'm posting it here. I...

    Silver Sky Setup/Tremelo

    Actually I went over to my locally owned shop and ask my friend who does all of their work on guitars about shims, and he has them, very thin wood, not paper. I think they come from StewMac. Anyways, I'm going to have him do it for me, and wire in a new SD Little '59 in the bridge, just enough...

    Silver Sky Setup/Tremelo

    In the video above, it shows a couple of shims needed to complete the job. I checked PRS site, Sweetwater, don't see them. Are they are PRS Specific shim? They seem to be, but I'm not sure where to get them. I'll try a better google search, maybe they are not made by PRS, so Philadelphia luthier...

    Silver Sky Setup/Tremelo

    id like to do this, make it floating. More to it than I thought. I was thinking you would remove one spring to have it be 3 like a standard strat (I think). Where do you get the shims, fromPRS I would assume? Mine is the SE model but I would assume the procedure is the same. Thinking about...

    PRS SE Silver Sky Strat - Mod Journey

    I had the same issue with mine in regards to the neck, just felt oddly rough. i used 4000 grit, but same results, turned into a glass feeling in about 5 minutes or less. I don’t think I’ve had the other issues you’ve described. I might put a minI SD JB in the bridge position, just for something...

    Upgraded my SE Silver Sky...

    OP, looks great, I have that same SE SS, and I would do that mod. I like the stock tuners though and they work well. I kinda want to try a Humbucker in the bridge, maybe a Seymour mini JB.

    PRS SE McCarty 594

    Actually I think I’ve answered my own question. On PRS website they have the Troglodyte interview of both guitars, and it appears same body thickness. The Standard just has a 2-3 piece top and it’s carved this way without the pieces of maple veneer, but otherwise they look and seem to have the...
