Had the impression that their IRW was getting lighter and lighter over the years, but this is a nice dark one. Congrats.

I may have missed something, but after watching all those videos of Paul comparing nut materials over the years, I was under the impression that PRS's proprietary nut material was the best of all, hence the nickname "Unobtanium". So why and when did they start using bone nuts (again?) on their...

As Paul himself always says at meet&greets: "Gimme your credit card and I'll built you everything you want!" ;)

Had several SCs and liked them a lot. Looked great, played great, sounded great But as they usually are 1kg heavier than DCs (Customs, McCarties) my back started to prefer the later lately.

It's a core Custom24 where Skitchy perfected his skills in retrofitting FloydRose trems right before he created my SCF ;) Not sure, if it's an actual paint job or if something went terribly wrong when he was routing the cavities for the FR :p

PRS core guitars have probably the best stock PUs ever, great for a lot of different styles. But as I play mainly heavy metal, there are after-market PUs that suit my style much better. That's why I swapped out PUs on every single PRS I ever owned.

Congrats! Nice one! Solid RW neck and one-piece stop tail to me still are the epitome of PRS! I wonder how the thinner body will affect the overall sound and feeling compared to a McRosie. Will it sound thinner or will the RW neck take over a bigger proportion of the sound?

Although my SCF is pretty unique, I keep coming back to my trusty McRosie. Of all his creations to me that's the quintessence of PRS and will stand the test of time.

The Customer Support Center on PRS's homepage is always a great place to find info like this: "PRS Gen III Patented Tremolo. Offered in Core production via the "58/15" limited run in 2015. PRS Gen III Patented Tremolo with locking saddles. Offered through the Private Stock program beginning in...

Yes, in their NAMM video Paul is pointing at a black SE Custom 24-7 and making a short comment, but at least for my old eyes it was too brief to see if it already had the new appointments. I find this discussion about the "right" scale length of seven string guitars very interesting because it...

Sorry to hear that there obviously have been changes on one side or the other ;-( Modified 5 or 6 SEs in the past with these tuners and "back than" they dropped right in with no mods whatsoever. Good old times.

Schaller backlocking tuners are a great update to an SE! Did this to all I had in the past. Congrats.

Just speculating, but a 7 string version of the SE Holcomb would sell extremely well.

Some online shops are selling the remaining black ones for 50% off :eek: That's why I'm very tempted, although I would very much prefer an amber / sunburst one

8 is an odd number. o_O Why not 10 or 12??? :D Are you not tempted by the heavy discount the remaining stock is offered currently? :rolleyes:
