Heh, funny to read this after a year. In the end, I had sold some unnecessary equipment and bought the blue CE22 as well (for about a price of a new higher-end SE). I really couldn’t sleep thinking about it. Having those two guitars, it’s interesting to compare. CE22 with 57/08 sounds much...

Yes, I think about doing the same. CU will be a great baseline for further pimpin’

Okay, thank you guys, I pulled a trigger on the red CU24. It cost only a little more than a used CE, neck is Regular, which is fine, and I can eventually work with the pickups and the rotary thing. I’m gonna finally have the proper core PRS, yaaay!!

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I only played the CE22 and the neck was a smidge too fat. CU24 lives in different country (but the price is unbeatable).

Yes, LBXII does have a very fendery clean (LBXI had less and more driven sound). Plus the modern hi-gain. Cannot predict how would the two pickups sets react to 5150. But it’s interesting you say you don’t care for the split sounds. These in-between positions tend to be my favourite. So, the HFS...

They they are (blue - CE, red - CU). Any instant impressions?

And tell me about which genres do you play and what do you think is HFS’s limit, style-wise. What they suck at.

I play mostly EVH 51500III lbxII and I further shape my tone mainly with Keeley compressor and EQD Palisades overdrive. I also use hi-gain fuzzes, but not as my main tone. I really like the 57/08 character. I guess the question is: Does it make more sense to try to add some oomph to 57/08s for...

Hi, I’m deciding between two guitars, CE 22 with 57/08s and CU24 with HFS/VB. I like them both equally. But which one would you choose to be your primary guitar, covering all styles (from gentle jazz to dissonant black metal)?
