Thanks guys. I took the strap button out and out a toothpick in there. All is well now. There is indeed some kind of block in there.

Hi everyone, In the past, I’ve had no problem using a toothpick to tighten up strap buttons on solid body guitars. It’s worked very well in the past. However, the strap button on the top horn of my SE Hollowbody keeps working loose. it feels like the screw is just going through the laminate...

I got sorted thanks. I just needed to specify the right metric size (3.5mm).

Now those are two incredible looking guitars!

I’ve found that this is not the case. I bought some metric tips and they were much too big. So metric tips must come in more than one size. I’m not sure, but I think they are 4.5mm (wrong size) or 3.5mm (hopefully the right size).

Thanks so much

Anyone? Anywhere?

Ive just received my S2 594. Lovely guitar overall. The pickup rings are cream/ivory (they look great) but bizarrely the pickup switch tip is black. What gives with that? none of the tips on any of my other Gibson or PRS guitars fit the S2 guitar. I even bought some metric switch tips on...

Hi there. Everyone has their own taste of course, but I think the black one you’ve ordered is the best looking guitar out of all the ones you've posted. And by a long shot imo. (Hopefully) HNGD.

Thanks for the input. Regarding the SE HB vs my 339 (I just sold the 335). the SE HB is my first fully hollow guitar. It definitely feels more “hollow” than either the 339 or 335. it feels like a new experience for me, and I’m loving it. I have to confess, I’m nervous about how the SE HB will...

Did you buy the guitar? I’m new to the PRS Hollowbody world, but I recently bought an SE Hollowbody Piezo to save me from having to carry an extra acoustic to certain gigs. I love that SE HB guitar, but it is definitely a little neck heavy. There is one song, on one gig where we all clap along...

OP here. I’ve only had the S2 594 for one day, so my comments should be taken with a pinch of salt. But I really like the pickups in my SE Hollowbody Piezo. I’m not saying the S2 doesn’t sound as good, but I certainly prefer the sound of the pickups in the HB right now. i totally understand...

I was under the impression that both these guitars came with identical 58/15S pickups. But the pickups sound very different (I only received my S2 594 today). I measured both sets, and here is what I saw: SE HB Bridge: 7.9 SE HB neck: 7.6 S2 594 bridge: 8.5 S2 594 neck: 8.1 So how on earth can...

I mainly play single coil guitars, but I also have grown to love some humbucking ones. When moving from my strats to a humbucking guitar, the only way I can get the guitar to work for me is to set the amp up for the neck pickup tone. Then turn the tone control for the bridge pickup back so it...

On my Gibson guitars, I prefer the ones with binding. On the McCarty I owned, I can’t say I missed it that much, but I have to admit that I prefer necks on glued neck guitars to have binding. So if I was looking at a new PRS and it happened to have binding, I’d see that as a positive. But not a...
