Here's a cover I did on my SE SAS. Just love this guitar.

It was awesome reading what the guitar vets here had to say. And enlightening. Perhaps I can give a different perspective. Im 34 years old, I've been playing just over a year and a half and I am nowhere near good enough to even consider myself an amateur "guitarist". I've been decently musically...

I think you missed my sarcasm haha, I was poking fun at people who think a beat up guitar is indicative of playing ability.

I have a Fender Strat with a modest relic job that somehow just looks right. To me, PRS just looks beat up and wrong when they are relic'd. Psychologically, I think PRS caters to a different crowd. We like our **** pristine lol. Its also part of why PRS players get the whole "dentist guitar"...

As far as I know "Artist" refers to Artist grade tops, so they would be mutually exclusive from 10-tops. So it would be like: PS WL with Artist top WL with 10-top WL Core with Artist top (if these even exist) Core 10-top Core CE S2 SE I personally don't recall seeing any modern PRS Artist...

My guess would be the potentiometers. Much like how rolling off your tone or volume knob can kill your sustain, I might look at replacing them.

I'm perhaps against the grain, but I've never played a PRS instrument or any quality instrument for that matter that I couldn't get to sound good with post-guitar settings. I'm also of the camp that enjoys the nuances and differences of guitar tones, rather than being confident that one sounds...

I just had one done. Took over 4 months.

What you call a flaw, I call 360 degree Eagle vision

PRS definitely doesnt just slap a neck like that on a regular ol' guitar. That was definitely meant for a different life for sure. I thought it was kinda of poetic that they blacked out the 10-top sticker similar to how they blacked out the actual top lol.

I've noticed a lack of sustain on hollowbody guitars. Which also undoubtedly changes how tone is perceived ie not allowing time for notes or harmonics to bloom. It's interesting to hear that they sounded outright worse to you from a tone perspective though.

Hollowbody guitars and solidbody guitars only sound different in the room or if mic'd. The electric signal portion of the signal is generally identically other than the solidbodies usually having better sustain due to less energy loss from the body vibrating. Of course we are talking if there...

I heard he's married to Wo Mann

Funny enough, I actually own a original run Gibson Robot Guitar. Except... I gutted the electro tuners lol. Questionably repaired headstock and all.

Ah, if its just the buttons that are changing, who cares. I was told all non-trem models were going non-locking. Which I assume is false.
