    Retrofitting a CU22 with Graphtech Ghost?

    My new band is very much Skunk Anansie meets Fleetwood Mac. I'm starting to need piezo sounds. Have tried the pedal simulators & think real Piezois the way to go. Anyone have experience of modding one?

    Can you fade whale blue?

    Cheers @vchizzle I'm not gonna try & force it. The previous owner definitely gigged it a lot as my first mod was a regret. So if it's meant to stay dark, so bet it.

    Can you fade whale blue?

    I have a lovely 2000 PRS Custom 22 in Whale Blue, it's a 10 top. But I've always thought the colour was so dark, that you couldn't really see the flame. Azul seems a better colour. Does anyone have a Whale Blue PRS that has faded over time? if so what does it look like?

    Reintroduced McCarty and new P245 Semi Hollow

    I had a really heavy McCarty gold top that was a Les Paul killer. So it's interesting to see them move to a guitar with a thicker back.

    Bought a custom 22 on a whim. What can i expect?

    I bought a 2000 CU22 on a whim. First thing I did was a refret. I like jumbo Fretwire. So I had a tech refret it with Dunlop 6100 Fretwire. Then I really hated the winged tuners. So I splashed out on a set of Phase II's. Then finally I was going to replace the rotary switch with a 3 way...

    Freeway 6 position toggle switch

    http://www.freewayswitch.com just had one of these fitted to my 2000 Custom 22. its been brilliant. Much quicker than a rotary control. as I use the 2 outer coils setting & the back humbucker the most. It's been a godsend to just flip up or down between them.

    Distortion pedals

    I used to use the Blackstar HT Dual. But it is a bit cheaply made regarding footswitches etc. now I use a Goosoniqueworx 7thvn. There a bit obscure but the hi gain is a meaty slab of tone & the low gain is a really warm dynamic drive. It's JFET & I run mine at 12v DC...

    Bad Set-up from the Factory... Anyone else? Advice?

    I've just bought a PRS Custom 24 Floyd via Guitar Guitar in the UK online. The guitar came with 10-46's & a really high action. After changing to 009-046 strings & some tremolo adjustment. The guitar still had a slight buzz in places. I emailed Guitar Guitar & they told me to bring it in for...

    2015 PRS Custom 22 or 2015 Gibson Les Paul Standard

    I think someone else said it on here. Go to some guitar stores & play both instruments. Don't be taken in by salesmen. Just see which one speaks to you. I've just bought a CU24 Floyd. I've had several Les Paul's & PRS'. To be honest with you, the CU isn't really a similar guitar. I think the...
