Any idea what magnets are in #7's?

Yeah.. I do a lot of trading, but...I know this guy...it's all original in there...nothing upgraded or modded. Not a big deal...I do builds and work on my own guitars so if needs anything...I got it. Definitely have to get used to the string tension...I'm bending sharp...I'm used to more of a...

Thank you! I appreciate your taking the time. I wouldn't normally bother, but...I seem to be around home a bit given the current goings on. I'm definitely diggin' that it's got a vintage vibe to it, as I'm pretty much a jazz and blues guy. I do have to get a whammy bar...the dude couldn't find...

Hi All, Just traded for one (I think it's whale blue) and as a newcomer to PRS...some questions. All of these that I have seen have uncovered pickups, but this one has covered PUPs. What might that say about this guitar? Not having played other than PRS SE's before....10's feel awfully...

Is there a list somewhere of which older model/years have which PUPs?

I appreciate all of the insight! I tend to like chunky neck profiles, but...I'm fairly adaptable.

I am finding myself drawn to these CE24's for some reason. Anyone care to share they're take on those? I'm not a fan of those MIK bridges, but I could easily swap that on a newer one...or...the older 90's look pretty tempting...don't know anything about the PUP's in those. Do you guys? My...

Gotta say...I don't really have a preference there. I do prefer rosewood and ebony boards to maple, but I never say never when it comes to guitars.

Appreciated. I take it that you feel that the 85/15's can do the vintage voice well? I should add...I'm a mix of pick and hybrid...if it matters. I have a 335 that sounds amazing when I pick, but not when I use my fingers. Another one with different PUPs sounds killer no matter what. Still...

Hey All, I love guitars! I love playing, collecting, modding, building (assembling more accurately), and I have waaaay more guitars than chops. I'm working on that. Anyway... Technically I'm not "new" to PRS, as I've had a couple of SE's over the years. I am looking at adding one of the...

I think I definitely need to change out the switch...it's very flimsy and I can see bending it easily on a gig...if I gig with it. Wish it had a toggle rather than a blade, but again...detail. A few sharp frets ends discovered...the hard way. I'll get it there eventually.

Anybody know where I can get a tremelo bar for this guitar at a decent price? I am really familiar with where Fender and Gibson parts can be found, but I am a total PRS ignoramus.

Thanks for the observation. I have some Gibson's with corian nuts...they're also too deep. Sometimes I can work with them, but...I had a 339 for instance...nut was worthless no matter what I did. Tuning it sounded like a ricochet. Anyway...I've played some ridiculously expensive vintage...

Okay...and one aesthetic peeve...put PR dang S on the headstock somewhere besides the truss rod cover; shrink the SE...and lose the novella on the back of the headstock. Okay. Done. Nice guitar!

Thanks for the welcome. I played it a few hours last night through a DRRI with a Sonic Fusion pedal. Was also using a 335 and Tele. I did not bring a Les Paul...to ensure that the PRS was played. I like it so far. PUPs are not really remarkable in any way, but to be fair, I have not adjusted...
