I might go that way, the bridge from the 24/08 is one of my favorites.

I'm not quite ready to switch out the humbuckers since I am mostly happy with them, hence the desire to try switching out the middle single coil to see what effects it will have on the overall tone. I've done some pretty extensive testing with the split tones, adding in EQ, raising heights...

How does the 5708 compare to the 85/15 S? I'd actually be a little hesitant about switching out the neck humbucker, I love it. It's got a nice punchy tone to it, almost like a Strat neck pickup on steroids. I'm not as attached to the bridge pickup though. The freeway switch is definitely on my...

Hey everyone, just got my SE Swamp Ash Special and it's a great guitar. I like the humbuckers but what hasn't quite got me is the middle single coil pickup, it sounds a little too twangy and thin for me. I tried looking up some single coils that could replace it but it's hard to pick not knowing...

Thanks the for the replies everyone, feel good now about having them do the work :)

Hi everyone, I recently sent in a guitar into PRS to be worked on and they fixed the electronic issues but they also mentioned the fretboard had some wear. They recommended a fret-level and setup service, which they quoted at $300. This seems a little high to me but maybe there is something...

That makes sense, thanks for that insight!

What kind of difference in tone does distance make?

Hi everyone, I currently have a 24-08 with the 85/15 TCI pickups, and have been really happy with it so far, but the new release of the Studio has me interested for 3 reasons 1. Narrowfield Pickups (described as "punchy single coils" which I would describe the 24-08 pickups as chimey and clean...

To give an update, I ended up getting a good deal on a 35th anniversary CU24. The additional splitting options are great, genuinely a huge upgrade from my SE. I did try a CU22 Piezo at a local store and it sounded great, but I wasn't digging the color. The Faded Whale Blue that came on the 35th...

So I’ve had a silver sky in moc sand satin for about 4 months, and last night I noticed a small chip right next to the top strap button. It’s an odd place for anything to have bumped it especially since my strap stays on the guitar 90% of the time. Also I would think the strap should have...

Thanks for the feedback, that Aura looks awesome. I've seen the 3 pickup PRS guitars like the Special 22, and the flexibility would probably be great but it feels overwhelming aesthetically. I think I like the clean look of the dual humbucker, I know it's trivial but when you're spending this...

Thanks! I'll take into account the cost of an extra DI box if I go with the Piezo 22.

Yeah I've seen those two but I need a trem, I don't do tons of dive bombs but I like using it for adding some extra spice to chords.

Hey everyone just looking to get some advice on buying my first Core model. For the last few years I have been rocking a 2018 PRS SE CU24. I wasn't crazy about the 85/15 pickups in them as they seemed a little dull with a lack of definition in the low end. I ended up replacing them with Rebel...
