Your luthier or...more properly a guitar tech? Two different things. Sorry.. that's like nails on a chalkboard. So, my questions to you are: 1. are you sure the nut was cut properly? 95% of the time, a poorly cut nut is the problem. If you didn't have tuning problems before, but now do...

I'll post pics later, but I modded by Bernie by putting in Gibson Burstbucker Pro pickups with worn nickel covers and did the Peter Green mod to the neck pickup. I swapped out the stock plastic nut and put a Core nut on it. Note that the neck at the nut is about a mm wider than either the...

I second the notion of NEVER using steel wool. I use a product called Gorgomyte. I swear by it. It will clean and condition ANY fingerboard AND polishes the frets too. I used nothing else. Check out their website. NOTE... I do NOT work for them. I'm a customer and love this stuff...

What a beautiful guitar! Congratulations. I wish Santanas came in 22 fret versions. I have an SE, but it's not the same. :-)

Seriously? John Mayer? If John Mayer merits a signature PRS, then so does my dog. My dog is a much better singer too.

If you EVER go with Gibson, go with something older. The only good Gibson nowadays is a Custom Shop guitar, but you'll need a second mortgage to afford one.

Pac90, my neck is wider than that. The gaps with the US nut is noticeable.

Like I mentioned earlier.. I wish PRT had told me that before I spent the money.

Well, I don't mind the pre-cut nuts, as I believe I read somewhere they were cut for 9's, and that's what I use. I will likely have my tech create one out of bone sometime next week. Oh well, I'll be hitting the store up for a refund.

Thank you, Mike. I didn't know that the carve was that precise. If I'd known that I'd have saved my money and had my tech do the same thing. Damn.

Hey guys, No pics of this problem yet, but hopefully later this week. I talked to someone at PRT (Won't name them) who told me that a Wide Fat Core nut should fit a Marsden. So, I bought a pair (They're sold in pairs in the PRS Store. Finally took it to a tech who said that the width of the...

I have a pair that I'd gladly take off eBay to give you. Sergio, if you can find one, then he's all set.

How are you liking the Duncan Antiquities in your Bernie? I was thinking the same thing.

I have had one for about a week or so and can't put it down.

Bluesboy.. can't see the guitar!
