    Pole Piece's on my Custom 22's Dragons won't move

    Thanks for all the replies! I was so busy I totally forgot I had posted this. I just ended up taking the strings off, applying heat to the waxing and with a lot of patience loosened them up one by one. I wonder if it's a factory spec where they'd prefer you don't touch the height of the...

    Pole Piece's on my Custom 22's Dragons won't move

    Apologies if this is the dumbest question. I just tried to adjust the pole pieces on my covered Dragon pickups and realized they won't move. Is this the way the cover is and I'd have to remove the covers to adjust the poles? Or is this an anomaly? Never bothered to check on this since I bought...

    Bridge height + neck relief tightness

    Thanks a lot for sharing these! My saddles have a really similar setup but the bridge on my Custom22 is sitting higher for sure (despite adjustment with the feeler gauge). Your setup looks almost identical to my Custom24's though. I really wonder if the 1/16 separation for the height is...

    Bridge height + neck relief tightness

    Hello all, I have two PRS, a CU24 and a CU22. Both with tremolo bridge, strung with 10-46s and tuned E-Standard. I bought both second hand/used. When I got the CU24 I got used to a stiffer string tension and didn't really bother with the bridge height. I left it as I received it because the...

    McCarty fans and lovers sell me on getting one :D

    You have actually been pretty helpful. I think in the end it comes down to everybody´s experience with the different models. I feel like the more examples of one particle remodel you try the more obvious it actually is which you like better off the bat. And that is in stores for example, where...

    What would you see the difference in tone is? I guess the different tops make it have a different peak? Is the Korina brighter or vice-versa?

    McCarty fans and lovers sell me on getting one :D

    You know... the only guitars I won't trade away are my 94 LP Standard and an old PRS CE I have. I regret selling other guitars in the past, but they had to go in order to invite others. I am not a hoarder or collector. I prefer to have two mainstays and the rest is just in rotation so I can try...

    McCarty fans and lovers sell me on getting one :D

    That's quiet the revelation for me actually. A person was offering a DGT in a trade and I would have never asked about something like that. Must be a thing that they incorporated on order for Dave Grissom, since it's his sig... but I would have a lot of trouble with that since all my guitars are...

    Wait. But the McCarty... the regular or whatever it is known as has a three way switch and two pots, volume and toggle tone for coil tap... doesn't it? What do you guys mean with dual and backward? Sorry... I am such a noob :call:

    Right? I have heard a lot of people say that the McCarty is pretty much the blueprint from which the company developed all its current characteristics. I wonder why they decided to discontinue it.

    When you say it is more aggressive than the Les Paul do you mean: -the guitar sounds darker with low end and more chunk -the guitar has a strongly defined mid boost with great attack I just want to make sure which you mean ´cause I´ve found that´s sort of the two schools of tone reference I...

    McCarty fans and lovers sell me on getting one :D

    Hello all. After going through a lot of guitars over the years I have realized I have pretty much stuck to my PRS CE and a Les Paul Standard. Now I am trying to sell or trade off a Mayones sevens string I have and was initially interested in getting a Custom 22 since I had one at one point...

    Tell me about the company´s Custom 22 and 24 finishing choices over the years.

    Thanks a lot for the info guys. I am sorry I was gone for a while but I also don't know what else I could contribute to this conversation. I am really not knowledgeable in this regard despite my appreciation for these guitars.

    Tell me about the company´s Custom 22 and 24 finishing choices over the years.

    Actually the models I have seen that I remember off the top of my head had no binding and weren't S2s. I mean Between the Buried and Me (the Floyd Rose equipped Custom) and one of the guys in Periphery just made a demo of two PRS, one of them a Custom with no binding. I have been looking around...

    Tell me about the company´s Custom 22 and 24 finishing choices over the years.

    Hi everybody. I have been peeking around for a while but this shall be my first post. I was wondering if the more experienced people, those of you who have been with the brand for over ten years now can explain a little of the development of the 22 and 24 Custom models. I am particularly...
