    What artists influenced or what prompted you to get PRS gear?

    Michael Akerfedlt from Opeth for me. He had a beautiful deep blue Custom 24 that he played live on their 'Lamentations' DVD. It was before I'd even started playing guitar, and I had no idea who PRS were. But soon as I saw that guitar I wanted it!

    PRS S2 594 String Tension

    Hi all, Sorry for delayed reply. Yup, same new strings, same tuning! That was why I was so confused. The only thing I can think is that maybe the nut's not quite cut right and it's binding there - it's a bit high - but that'd definitely be a first for a PRS for me! I'm planning to take it to...

    PRS S2 594 String Tension

    Hi all, This maybe an inexperienced question, but who knows! I've been luck to pick up a DC S2 594. It's an absolute beauty and I'm delighted with it. The resonance is astonishing. Unusually, though, the string tension seems quite high for a shorter scale guitar. I've used a set of 10-48s...

    NGD - 2021 594 SC McCarty Sunburst

    Congrats Sundance, that's a beauty. Pre-lockdown I played a 10-top 594 in exactly the same colour, £5k price - I'd say your top's better!

    S2 - 'Dealer Orders'

    Odd question, ladies and gents. I saw a poster on another guitar forum say the following: "I made a discovery - you can dealer order S2s with core finishes and tops, and someone posted a mint one with a hard case for cheaper than what the normal ones are new" Despite my reasonable PRS...

    S2 raised cavity covers vs. Core flat covers

    When I bought my S2 I was expecting it to annoy me, too, but I genuinely forgot about it within about 5 minutes of playing. Probably down to distraction at how much better the S2 satins are compared to other $1000 guitars, but still...

    Incoming NGD!

    That's beautiful - pretty much my dream core! (One day). Enjoy the hell out of it!

    PRS SE 245 Soldering to the wraparound bridge

    Thanks all - managed to solder an 'extension' wire to the bit that was prodtruding in the end!

    PRS SE 245 Soldering to the wraparound bridge

    Hey guys, Newbie, so forgive me if this is in the wrong place. My PRS SE 245 - beautiful guitar - is about to get a whole new load of electronics. (A treat from me to me.) Previously, it had solderless EMGs in. New electronics are all passive, traditional soldered. I've just realised that...
