Thanks, everyone, for your replies! My pockets aren't as deep as they used to be, but I believe that is true for everyone, now-a-days.

I know this is an old post, but man that was funny!

What a stunning top!

Who cares if it's real or not? The guitar is beautiful! My guess is that no none would put that kind of the work into faking a Chinese made PRS. I agree that's it's probably a prototype, or maybe one made after lunch, on a Friday. :)

For those of you who have played or own both the Tonare Grand and Angelus acoustics, what are the biggest differences you see? Is one considerably louder than the other? Perhaps they have different tonal characteristics, given that each model shares the same tone woods. Thanks

I want that!

Thanks, Bogner. That's what I wanted to hear. I'm glad I have the pickup now, if for nothing more, to return the guitar to its original stock condition. I appreciate your input.

Any thoughts, good or bad, on the older, proprietary PRS acoustic guitar pickups? The reason I ask is the Martin Simpson Private Stock I bought a while ago, had its' pickups replaced with, I believe, K&K mini's. I picked up an original PRS pickup from Reverb, with the idea of one day...

Please don't beat it with that rubber hose.

That's absolutely beautiful! The flamed mahogany is stunning!

Wow. I didn't realize they were using a dupli-carver that late. I knew they were used at the Virginia Ave. factory and early on in Stevensville. When did they switch to the CNC, Dog? BTW, I am helping out a friend with this, so I don't have the guitar on hand. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks for the response, Bogner. What I was looking for was the factory set-up specs for my guitar (Private Stock Martin Simpson) or for that matter, any Maryland made Angelus. That's all. I went ahead and dropped the action 1/32 on the low E and 1/64 on the high. It was a bit too high...

Anyone know what neck carve the 1996 CU-24 had? Did they have different carves then? Thanks in advance.

I take it you don't know the specs.

Does anyone know what the recommended PRS string height specs are for their Private Stock acoustics? I can't find the information anywhere. It most likely came with the guitar when new, but I bought it used.. I have a Martin Simpson PS and want to lower the action. Any help would be appreciated.
