I'd also say Jade Glow, or maybe Rainforest Glow .

Korina is a very nice wood in my book, easy to work with and great to look at! As far as I remember, "Korina" was a marketing term that I think Gibson came up with in the 50's when they were looking for a cheaper alternative to get the bleached/limed mahogany look. Maybe a funny sidenote: in...

Just to add: this is not a special case in Germany, I have dealt with the same rules and documentary (which btw has been ratified by the EU in accordance to CITES which a lot of countries in the world comply to) so far with goods imported/exported from these countries: China Switzerland Czech...

From my little knowledge importing to the EU you would need a document from PRS or the dealer you bought the guitar from that states the origin of the used wood and a certification number from the environmental department (I guess that is the US wildlife service in the USA?). With these you can...

Beautiful guitar, congrats! I remember that SC-58's were offered in a Blue Crab Blue finish which to me looks exactly like the colour of your guitar.

Hi Christian, If the frets do not buzz anywhere on the fretboard when fretted, that means in my book, they are level. If they are level, they may be a little flat at the crown. But, I mentioned fretless wonder frets, those are very flat, something, you would instantly notice, and even on these...

Hi Christian, I'd say, if the intonation is off, when you fret the strings, that means the nut slots are not filed correctly (likely, they are not deep enough). As long as you can play the guitar on all frets with no fret buzz, then I do not see how the fret levelling / pleking could be the...

Hi Diceys, Basically, you could look for a straight on picture of a PRS and scale it to lifesize by taking certain known dimensions like body width, nut width etc. as a basis. That would give you the outline of the body. The internals of a semi hollow you could figure out by yourself: you need...

Hi all, After years of only reading, I decided to join the forum, specifically due to a post of docteurseb and one og his gorgeous PRS guitars and stain jobs. I have to admit, I do not own a PRS and only had for a short time (that was a 1998 Custom 24 in Black Gold Wrap Burst), but have been...

Hi docteurseb, Thanks a lot for your reply! Do you maybe have a hint on where to find that content from PRS? I have seen a lot of staining videos from them on YT but couldn't find any on the NL finish. Best regards Jonas

Hello docteurseb, Happy new year! I am sorry to hijack your thread, but your outstanding stain jobs that you keep posting here have finally made me sign up to this forum :-) I have to admit, I do not own a PRS (I briefly had a Custom 24 from 1998), but I owe a lot to PRS, as he inspired me to...
