Hi Audie, I've got a few amps I play thru: a 65 Princeton Reverb, a Fender Excelsior, Marshall JVM and dual rectifier. Funnily enough its the dual rec's EQ that gets me that wam, bluesey distorted neck pickup lead sound. I can't remember what pickups I had they were either the 57/08 or...

guitarman001, i've got to say I'm blown away by that guitar collection! Every guitar is bringing something its own thing to the table, and that flamed maple satin neck looks beyond cool. Your Suhr looks great, I'm interested by these guitars I hear they're made incredibly well and are properly...

Yeah this is similar to my experience that the pup positions do sound similar, there's not much space between them so you do get less of the depth that you would maybe get on a guitar with a larger space between the buckers, strange about the Suhr guitars though! They are meant to be very good...

That's a really helpful answer actually, I'll probably end up trying a Custom22 out at some stage for curiositys sake, but I'm pretty happy with my 24 and it has it's plusses with the pickup placement that you get a more evenly blended middle position. I've been fiddling with the tone knob and...

Hi, thanks for replying. I think you misunderstand me though, I have a Fender Mustang with two humbuckers where the neck pup has that bluesy quality to it, but I wouldn't say it sounds like a Les Paul. I had pretty much expected that I would not be able to get that sound with a pup change just...

Hi guys Been a while since I last posted. I've been enjoying my custom 24 for about a year and a half now and it's a great guitar, if they would just make that neck just a millimeter or two narrower though! They are pretty good necks though and completely different in feel to a lot of other...

Hi I am going to get the trem on my custom 24 blocked off but was just wondering what the best way to do it was. I've got these options 1) Screw the bridge down to the body (but I'm worried about it eventually damaging finish or making it play not as good, as they are designed to have the...

Thanks for all the replies guys, i've decided to take it to a tech to set it up right so its floating but then actually block the trem (I dont really use it) and I've heard screwing it down can damage the paint and for some reason makes the guitar play weird.

Hi swede71 I would think if you removed one spring it would tilt forward if the strings had greater pull than the trem claw. I havent noticed any visual difference when tuning to drop D. I noticed that the bridge itself was too high off the body maybe over 2mm so I took off the strings and...

Yeah, maybe there is less pull on the neck so I may have to adjust it to the relief that was there with 10s which would in effect pull the bridge forward? I'll try that and hopefully that will do the trick, with the bridge bending forward it has made my action lower I guess that will self...

Hi I've tried searching the forum for this answer and I cant seem to find the exact info I'm looking for. Basically my PRS Cu24 came with 10 gauge strings installed, I set the neck relief to almost straight and got the action and intonation sorted to my preference and the bridge seemed to be...
