    NGD: McCarty w/ Soapbars (plus a request to see yours)

    After months of searching for a Starla X with Soapbars, I found one locally and I'm not letting it go this time (this is the 2nd one I own) I like PRS Soapbars so much that I figured I would buy a maple capped one, which leads me to this post. Here they are together - they are technically both...

    semi hollow special older and 2021 model pickups

    I was feeling the same way, Nathan. I also have a silver sky and the '19 Special 22 semihollow (autumn sky 10 top). I had listed my Special 22 for sale, but took it down 3 weeks later. The guitar is amazing, just simply amazing. The number of different tones you can get from it and the ease to...

    NGD and a drastically underrated guitar!

    I forgot to mention, that's one of the things I love about the guitar. The pickups are NOT noisy! The difference between these and the Gibson LP Special is night and day (no dig on Gibson btw, just facts, I love Gibson too). I don't even need a gate effect in the Kemper. I haven't tried a...

    NGD and a drastically underrated guitar!

    I sold mine over a year ago, it was red. I missed it so much and I reretted selling it. The guitar was so light, so easy to play, perfectly setup, the pickus were balanced and could yield anything from jazzy smooth tones, to spanky rhythms, to aggressive punchy rock and roll. Keep in mind I have...

    Very timely, I just picked up this black beauty this weekend:

    Advice: Best places to find PRS guitars?

    Hi guys, I’m once again having PRS fever :) I want to buy a PRS, not sure which one, likely something with Soapbars. But, I’m finding that the traditional market places are thin on inventory or ridiculously overpriced (to the tune of 30-40% above fair price). What are your guys’ go-tos for...

    PRS neck shims - how and where to buy?

    Thank you, @Rider1260 - very helpful. This is no dig at all on PRS, I love them and believe they make the best guitars in the world, and their customer service is superb. The only comment is they do make it seem so simple to float the SS bridge but it requires quite a bit of work depending on...

    PRS neck shims - how and where to buy?

    I haven’t been able to call PRS. In the meantime, what do you guys use to get to the exact measurements recommended (2 x 0.007in)?

    PRS neck shims - how and where to buy?

    Hi, the ones referenced by the PTC: I certainly don’t want to guess what stewmac options work. I’m looking specifically for what PRS makes us believe is broadly available and follow their instructions to the T. :) plus, stewmac is ridiculously expensive, $18 ($8 shim + $10 shipping) for a...

    PRS neck shims - how and where to buy?

    I want to setup my silver sky with a floating trem, but need the shims. Ideally these would ship with the guitar, but they don’t. How do I buy the two 0.007in shims needed?

    Soapbar, light weight PRS available today

    Haha, I hear you... I just bought a Gibson LP Special and it has a huge neck! ... and I love it :)

    Soapbar, light weight PRS available today

    hah.... yeah, that’s a Frankensteined PRS that has gone through hell and back. Drilling, refinished by who knows who, replaced pickups with unknown, crazy pick guard, and who knows what condition the neck is in.

    Soapbar, light weight PRS available today

    Thanks for the link! So, fair to assume you feel the SE line is up to snuff? Comparable to Starla X quality?

    Soapbar, light weight PRS available today

    So I really miss my Starla X with soapbars... and the only one available is ridiculously priced at 2x of what they sold for used (priced at what it was new). Yes, I know, it's worth what people are willing to pay, I'm not willing to pay $1,400 for a used Starla X. This leads me to the question...

    Does PRS have/or has made a Tele-like guitar?

    I've heard the Vela sounds on Youtube... doesn't quite hit the mark from my perspective. Anything else?
