Hey all, The PRS SE Custom 24 in Bonnie Pink I ordered showed up yesterday. I just got to opening it up and rut roh… The inspection card is dated 1-22-22 so it has been a while since the factory setup BUT… The action was twice as high as it should be with both E string saddles bottomed out...

Thanks all! I ended up returning it. The dealer expedited my refund because of the issues. PRS said that the bridge bottomed out with the action CLOSE to their action height specs was within spec. I wasn’t thrilled with that. The bridge posts were sticking up three threads above the top of the...

Thanks. I used to apprentice under two master luthiers so I know how to do setups already. I will post some photos tomorrow. I contacted the dealer and they said that the return processing time is two weeks with another 5-10 business days to get my funds back. That is a lot of money to be tied...

It is a 2021. I can take pics but imagine a 594 bridge bottomed out and that is what it is.

Hey all, A few days ago, I snagged a S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut as an open box deal from an online retailer. It showed up yesterday and I COULD NOT put it down last night. The action was much higher than I usually like, but decided to wait until tonight to do a little bit of setup work on it...

No, not the trem arm lol. The tremolo on my Custom 24 is just very, very touchy. The slightest touch causes the notes to go sharp. Maybe I should just make a video to demonstrate.

Hey everyone, In July I got my first Core PRS Custom 24, a 1992 model. The story behind getting it was pretty epic but I have a problem…. It has been the primary guitar I have played since July. Something was happening with my playing where I became very sloppy and I felt like I was losing my...

Thanks for the reply! You have convinced me to jump on one. Upgrading the pickups would be easy enough and I have some laying around. I’d be the idiot that would put a real PAF in it, just because I have one in a box in a drawer.

Hey all, I was thinking about burning a little bit of spare cash on an SE Standard 245. Are these guitars good enough to gig with and do they last? It hard to believe that at at about $450 used, they could last a lifetime. I call most Epiphone guitars in that price range “throw aways”...

I just have to say, you guys are the most welcoming bunch on any forum I have ever been on! I thank you all for that! Can someone explain how to post photos here? Do I have to upload them to a site such as Photobucket, and add the link in the image box?

It was nothing a little Pepto couldn’t cure!

Are you on the right forum? The Burger King forum is down the hall, fourth door on your right, past the Gibson forum. Watch out as you walk by them, they bite. Jk with you man. It was just a Whopper. Nothing fancy.

So… I knew that yesterday would be quite the day and it was! It was the best day I have had in a very, VERY long time. I rushed out of work at quitting time, hopped in the car, drove 60 miles to the Ferry to Vermont, hopped on board and met the gentleman brokering the deal for the Custom 24. You...

Hey all, My name is Nick and I’m new here. Like you, I am a guitar addict! Today is a very special day for me as I am getting my first Core! I have owned a few SE’s over the years but a Core Custom 24 has been a dream for the past 17 years. I recently found a 1992 Custom 24 for sale one...
