I also found it hard to pull up on the tone knob. I know CTS push-pull pots are pretty easy to activate, so installing one of those might work out. I had originally wanted to install mini switches and go with a -08 setup like you mentioned. In the end I replaced the tone pot with a push-push pot...

Thanks for pointing out this thread to me! That is lovely. ...and the photo of the underside of the pickguard is soooo good. I built 3 vintagey Fender style guitars over the past couple of years and I try to keep the wiring tidy as well. That's just beautiful. I think I've now decided to go...

Thanks. I was looking at Velas yesterday, lol. But I need to chill for a bit. I have a room in my house that's a music/excercise room and it needs some remodeling. I can't fit more guitars until I re-do some things. The brass block is going to replace the alloy block that is currently on the...

I definitely came across your video when I was on the hunt for one of these! For now I put a small piece of foam under the springs that completely fixed the issue. I might end up buying the noiseless springs when I get the itch to do something. What other mods have you done? I have a brass...

Nice. I almost got the red one as there was one here locally. My Les Paul is Wine Red so I went with the sunburst.

My saga is over. This bad boy is home now. https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/ngd-first-was-a-dud-this-ones-a-keeper.51802/

I had a thread about my first PRS that arrived with a big dent in it. I returned it and ordered its replacement in a different color. This one is lighter, better looking, and just makes me want to play it more. I can tell in just a hour of playing or so that this one is staying. It's not fancy...

The guitar arrived just before 8:00 last night. It was worth the wait! It’s flawless and weighs in lighter than the previous one at 6.8 pounds. Peeled the plastic off and installed black S2 tuner buttons. It’s all mine now and the bonding process has begun. The weird thing is that the tremolo...

FedEx... "delayed" *sigh* I hope they do Sunday deliveries. :cool:

OP here. The refund has been completed. I ordered another S2 Standard 22 Satin from a different dealer who had Sunburst in stock, which I am way more excited about than the white version. But how unlucky can I be? It was on the FedEx truck this morning to be delivered by 12:55. Earlier today the...

Thanks for the discussion. The box was not damaged in any way so I do not think this was damaged in shipping. The pattern of the impression on the dent kind of looks like it came from the gig bag, but there is a foamy cushion that should have been wrapped around the guitar in that spot. It...

$150. I'd say that is on the lower side of fair which is why I'm on the fence.

I've wanted to try a PRS for quite a while with its 25 inch scale and splitable humbuckers. It all seems so versatile and in-between the other major brands! I had an SE Pauls's guitar on preorder but a few days ago I decided to switch the order to an in-stock S2 Standard 22 Satin. It arrived...

I'm new here. Here's a quick summary of my guitar journey.... Started playing at 14 and am now 44. I played in bands from 15-30yo and enjoyed the ups and downs of gigging in a band. I'm sure, like many I kind of stopped playing after my most recent band while I got married, bought a house, and...

I too have a HB guitar. It's a fun Silver sparkle T-style. But I'm here because I just got my first PRS!
