Dragon IIs are fantastic in my experience!!! For me, they are a great blend between vintage and modern ‘bucker tone. I feel like McCarty pickups are okay, but to me they’re kind of a snooze. Comparatively, Dragon IIs have a nice bit of extra “umph” that gets me where I like to be.

He (and all his buddies) came into the guitar store I used to work at regularly. I think I remember his name, even!

These are the real facts. Everyone feels a bit different about the different neck/pickup/bridge/scale length/22 vs 24 fret/solid vs semi-hollow details. It is hard to know for sure how you feel about different configurations until you “live” the experience. I know what I like so far, but I’m...

Cool! It looks awfully nice. I’d love to try one of them in person. Unfortunately, I’ve not had the chance to quite yet.

I’ve just fallen head-over-heals for my Neural DSP into my “big monitor” set-up, which is a Crown K-2 through old JBL L100 speakers. It’s the first modeling anything I’ve bought since a Line 6 ages ago. It was worth the wait - this kind of tech has finally arrived, IMO. If I did solid state...

This is good to know. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yes… the 59/09s are tempting. My wheels are turning, for sure.

Thanks for the info! I’m trying to “make nice” with these 85/15s. They are growing on me, but I don’t love them wholeheartedly yet. I think they sound delightfully clear, but border on sterile. Good to know I potentially could change it up, but sounds like it might be a downgrade. I’m not...

I have a Core 35th Anniversary and am considering other pickup options. If I were to select PRS pickups, what ones are compatible with the 24/08 style wiring? Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!

I am trying to address a wiring concern in my McCarty and I see these pickups inside. I only know they’re not original. The neck pickup sounds good, but I think the way the bridge pickup is wired isn’t quite right. It sounds extra thin. They appear to be two conductor pickups, which seems...

Thanks! Ya know, it’s funny you say that. It’s my favorite too. But, I do think color is fun too… sheesh, who am I kidding? I like most all of them.

Here are my PRS rock n’ roll devices: ‘20 CU 24 35th Anniversary, River Blue ‘00 McCarty w/Brazilian RW neck, Natural ‘10 CU 24 w/ IRW neck+BRW fingerboard, Purple Fade ‘02 CU 24, Natural ‘20 CU 24 35th Anniversary, Emerald Green

Super foxy guitar!!! The one piece top is choice. Congrats!

So, as my interest in different PRS guitars grows, I’ve come to find I really like the aesthetics of the Artist II series. Extra classy, yet not as “sparkly” as the Artist III. I dig it. However, I am led to believe they all were semi/hollow or chambered of sorts. Is this an awesome thing for...

They were offered with Pattern or Pattern Thin. Great looking guitar!!!
