    Is there a difference between the '12 PRS SE Angelus Custom and later year models?

    Not sure if this is accurate info but I heard that the 2012 that I have ,has solid rosewood back and sides and the newer ones only have rosewood laminate back and sides. When I look in the sound hole the wood inside is definitely solid rosewood. Also the pickup is on the outside not in the...

    Blade Switch Cap Loose

    Had the same problem on my 408. Put a dab of crazy glue on it and no problems since. Protect the guitar with a cloth until it dries in case you use too much and drip on the finish

    Convincing the wife - How far is too far?

    I have 2 core models, an S2 Vela and a SE singlecut. I play them all about the same amount. But I agree I would wait and buy a new core model. My wife has 4 horses and I never have an issue when it's time to get a new guitar. I think she realizes that the guitars don't need to be fed and never...

    New (to me) 408

    Now your in real trouble. My first PRS was a 408. And now I have 5. The 408 is my favorite and I will never ever part with her. Congrats and it seems like your enjoying it.

    Paul Reed Smith Tuxedo "30" Combo Amp

    Thanks again. It is in mint condition but I really liked my mesa express 5:50 plus and I can't have both. 2 kids in college. I also don't want to trade for it. So I guess I'm passing right now.

    Help me choose please

    I have a 2012 stripped 58. The tone is close to my les Paul traditional with 57 pickups. I bought the stripped 58 because of the quality of PRS but still ended up getting the les Paul. It's close but I have to agree with war dog the pickups do not sound the same as the gibson. The scale...

    Anyone have any experience with the 30 Tuxedo amp?

    I have 5 PRS guitars but play a Mesa and a Marshall amp. Someone is selling a mint 30 tuxedo head for $850. Not much on the net regarding this amp. Anyone have experience with it. I don't want to duplicate the tones on my Mesa express 5:50 or Marshall class 5. Thanks.

    Thanks. Figured the big 50 and gold go together. This thing is sweet. This is my first S2 and I am very impressed. I have a 408 and a Stripped 58 and they will be jealous for a while. Totally different tone even with the coil split on the 408
