No negatives so far.

I'm wondering what challenges, surprises, discoveries, people have found in moving from a longer scale to a shorter scale. I'm very used to playing strats with 25.5" scale. I have a DC3 with 25.25" scale that feels good, and a couple PRS with 25" scale that I also love. But I've never really...

Congrats! Those SE Soapbar pickups are magic!

Not that the S2 Mira was heavy by any means, but I can't wait until some dealers get copies of these and start listing their weight. Could be very enticing for us aging guitarists with back aches.

Man that black amber burst is gorgeous.

Really? I have not heard the Soapbar II described that way before. It's a P90, and sounds pretty much like a P90... I have also not heard that others describe it like you do before either, and I've owned five of these over the years, and chatted about them for a a number of years also. If...

I wasn't able to take it into the office environment I was in, and I had to leave it in the trunk of my car which I parked in an outdoor open lot in the middle of Manhattan. So that's why I took a lesser guitar. All told, it was in the trunk for about 12 hours, and the temperature was in the...

Many years ago, my luthier told me never leave a guitar in your trunk on a hot day, as it can melt glue, crack wood, etc.. All logical things nobody would ever argue with. But who has actually had that happen? Yesterday I had to drive to NYC for business and I had a 7:00PM band practice, so I...

I've tried several times to get my avatar to show up, but it fails every time from my ipad. I don't have a PC at home anymore. This forum needs an app!

How about some pics? Love seeing those salted maple bodies.

Wow, great deal for what you got. I must have missed something, was the body deeper than you originally wanted? Did they take it down to a narrower depth?

I hope it's not too rude to ask, but can you give us an idea of how much the total refinish and refret was? I'm guessing new S2 range? More? I have a gorgeous 10 top 1999 McCarty that has faded pretty badly, but wouldn't trust it to too many people other than PRS.

Times have changed and all of this is able to happen because of the digital nature of the media now. The ease and affordability of sharing, transmitting, and editing has allowed the change to happen. The actual experience of being someplace and enjoying the live performance with all your senses...
