Thanks for the link. Must have looked at this 100 times. This little beauty I dug deep for is a Custom 24 wood library quilted 10 top, with natural korina neck & back, cocobolo fretboard and rosewood headstock, old school birds (& hybrid hardware). The finish is called Teal Fade. (I've never...

The better half would like to see me get rid of something. You gave me an idea. Maybe I'll unload the Epi Tuxedo... only kidding (it's my other coil splitter) good as any Gibson Les Paul. Thanks for the positive feedback.

Seems I may have gotten lucky all around. This guitar was so close to the Private Stock I almost broke the bank for. I broke my own rules. The pattern neck is a little uncomfortable for me (broke rule 1 - feel). Knew nothing about the pups ( Broke rule 2 - tone) I bought on looks (&...

You could be right, it's something that Paul would do - more voodoo; give it a different & mysterious number! If you name it, they will buy (and post adnosium, trying to figure it out). Thx for the feedback. Just seems strange & yet too simple.

More encouragement! Thx! I'm feeling pretty good about changing my mind & buying this guitar. Felt impulsive & .....really good.

What I read was that the 8515 was a PRS 2015 update to the 1st PRS pups (originals) Paul took to NAMM the 1st time he showed up as a guitar maker in 1985. The 58/15 were described in the same article as PRS trying to re-make vintage '58 Gibson Les Paul PAF's, using the same wire. That being...

Wow - it was in my rum!

Thx for the reply - encouraging; update to follow in a few days!

Jumped in head first yesterday without introducing myself. Humble apology! I am a band member of a 4-piece blues group that most recently switched back to classics rock realizing we are old guys, and not a show band. I've been playing since I was 8, but put my garage band double cutaway '64...

I'm thinking nobody should have taught him how to play tic-tac-toe. That has to end somewhere under the fur doesn't it?

Micky I literally woke, worked, ate, drank, slept, dreamt and drulled, and then repeated, over purchasing a PRS. CHAMPAGNE WISHES & CAVIER DREAMS! If you haven't done the research, spend the time and ask questions. I even did a factory visit. That will surely give you GAS. All my purchases...

Thanks gush. Here is my issue. My purchase is, for lack of a better word, a unique 2017 Custom 24. It was an MSL spec'd purchase on one of their visits to the factory. The 85/15 is a 2015 update of Paul's original pup. This guitar which should arrive in a day or so has two 58/15 LT (low turn)...

Thanks for the info. Re: pinch harmonics - I only wish! - seen the technique used in videos but never was taught. Why did you ask?

A year ago or so I got called sir for the 1st time. Because of my age! ...I even got a "Senior Discount". Only wish It was because I made a scene. Rock on!
