I think that I would move on.

Been a fan of the GD since high school and started seeing them in 1984. Have enjoyed the other iterations of GD-member bands post-Jerry to varying degrees, including Dead & Co about once each tour capping it off with the Chicago and Philly shows this Summer. Love the tones Mayer has been...

For the Core HB II? That's puzzling--the hangtag for mine says 11s as does the PRS website for the Core HB II. Maybe your dealer strung it with 10s? Regardless of how they got there, I would try 11s before altering the nut. Based on the published specs, my guess is that the nut is ready for...

The Hollowbody II Piezo comes strung with 11s. Pretty sure the used one I picked up recently has 11s and they sounds and feel great. Put a set of 11s on my SE HB II Piezo and they work fine on that guitar as well. I filed the nut slots a little bit, as Bodia suggested.

He interviewed all of the seniors to get to know them before he spoke at their graduation? That anecdote perfectly explains why the guitars are so exceptional.

Just read your expanded comments on this topic in the other thread about whether folks are considering switching to solid state. Completely understand your point and agree. A bunch of hoarders drained the supply.

Touché. I should’ve said current tube unavailability. You accept that the big Chinese plant burned in 2019 and has been reopened, yes? Is it debatable that the supply is markedly less than it was before that? Not trying to be a jerk. Just trying to clarify what you are saying.

Paul Rivera used an approach to lower damping factor on the Class A/B amps he designed for Yamaha in the early 80s. Not sure whether that was before or after Marshall. I have one, a G100-112, I bought used circa 1984. Gigged with it in college. It sat unused for many years. Bought some tube amps...

I had a narrowfield and additional toggle switch to control it (off-on-only middle) added by the PTC to my Paul’s Guitar a few years ago. Couldn’t be happier with the added sound options.

I bet you’ll be very happy. I have a PG that I picked up used for a great price several years back. I love it. But I love my SE HB II so much, that I might’ve just gone right for the SE PG if they had been available back then. The SE quality is just top notch. Looking forward to seeing pics and...

If you liked wide/fat, you might find that you struggle with wide/thin. I have a CE with WT, and it causes me discomfort to play. I’ve decided to sell it. If there’s anyway to play an SE with WT before you wife chooses, you might be glad you did. Of course, with a good return policy, you might...

As my son said to me the other day, “It’s easier to scam people than to convince them that they’ve been scammed.”

Yes, I also would like an explanation. Don’t need to know the specific spell or incantation, just would honest confirmation that there is some kind of magic involved. At first, looks like a really intense quilt. Then it becomes 3-D. It’s gotta be more than spray paint, even if we’re talking...

I gave up caring about low slung guitars when I moved on from Kiss. Sling for comfort, I say.

I had PTC install a Narrowfield 57/08 on my Paul’s Guitar as a middle pup. I think it sounds great with the Paul’s pickups. IIRC, that’s the Super Eagle middle pickup.
