    Chipped finish

    I believe I did a decent job of filling in the chipped edge of my ‘95 Custom 22. It took a lot of time, but I believe I was pretty successful for a first attempt . Some here have asked for photos. If I knew how to upload them from my iPhone X gallery to here, I’d be happy to provide before and...

    Chipped finish

    Thanks guys, that’s a wonderful idea. I hadn’t thought of that. Now, should I try to match the dark red color or just buy a clear fingernail polish?

    Chipped finish

    Sadly, after 28 years of playing my wonderful 1995, PRS, Custom 22, dark cherry 10 top, I chipped the outer bottom edge right about where your forearm passes over. Right at the edge where the clear blonde maple side wood is seen. What to do? Do I touch it up with lacquer? Polyurethane? Is...

    Polishing out scratches?

    What is the best means and hand rubbed product to use to polish out minor blemishes in the clear coat finish, front and rear? I have a mid 90s custom 22 with a black cherry 10 top clear coat finish. I’m not sure if it’s nitro or some poly? I’m not positive what they were using at the time...

    Modifying a stop tailpiece.

    Good evening all. I have a ‘93 PRS Custom 22 with Dragon II pick ups and a stop tail piece. I bought it new at Chuck Levin’s and have cherished it ever since. But I’ve always wished it had a tremolo. I see there is a Schaller tremolo mechanism for about $200 which claims to adapt easily and...
