    ebay scam?!?

    There is not a singe person on this earth who wants less than they know can attain from the sale of an item, or the inverse , where they want to pay more than they know something is worth. I was tying to sell a guitar on CL. Within 12 hours I had received texts from 3 separate parties, all...

    Every Guitar Store Guitarist

    Someone needs to make a video about the pretentious and condescending guitar store employee stereotype *EDIT* - Spoke too soon.

    Absurdly picky when buying a new guitar.

    Yup. That's why I made this post. I feel like an ******* when I end up rotating GC stock. A while back, a GC employee told me that the salesmen will get bitched at for not matching the right product with the right customer if the manager sees a customer with a stack of receipts stapled together...

    Absurdly picky when buying a new guitar.

    I often shop at guitar center, not because I like to, but because they have a 45 day return policy. Once, I took home and returned 5 guitars before finding one I like. For me, sometimes it's hard to get a good feel for a guitar in a store. It's loud and and distracting and difficult to notice a...

    Private internet lessons.

    Yeah, you got it. The free internet stuff has taken me a long way and taught me a lot, but I'm looking for a cheap way tog get some professional, personalized advice. I guess there are no short cuts and I should look to my local community. Hate paying the exorbitant prices though.

    Private internet lessons.

    Hi all, I am self taught, never taken a lesson a day in my life. I assume most of the folks here are quite competent guitarists and may be beyond such things, so I may be barking up the wrong tree. Speaking for myself, as only one can, I would still consider myself an intermediate and I think...

    Unreleased PRS Strat-type John Mayer

    What is the deal with this? Never seen or heard of this model before. Is this a prototype? Looks stratier than any of PRS's most strat-like guitars.

    In praise of the DC3...Show me yours!

    What's the scale on those beauts? I have always wished that PRS would make more strat-like models. A spanky Fender sound with PRS QC and attention to detail would have me sold a million times over.

    NGD For me!

    Ahh, I see. It must have escaped me that the forum is an extension of the brand Thanks for filling me in.

    NGD For me!

    Ok. I'm new here figured "general discussion" meant off topic subjects. And I hate to be a contrarian, but upon scrolling down I noticed that there are at least 4 non-prs related threads on the first page alone. Unless I'm missing something...

    NGD For me!

    haha ,I take it your not a mustang fan, or a puke green fan. I consider it a thing of grotesque beauty. It has a certain je ne sais quoi. To each their own!

    NGD For me!

    2016 Mustang It's a good thing I broke up with my long-time girlfriend a few months back. However, in her absence, I feel like my dog is now giving me "the look". "But I got a good deal!" I told the corgi. "It's in brand new condition, had a fret level job, and I got it for 100 bucks off retail...

    PRS "Strat"

    Has PRS ever made a start-style single coil guitar? I'm somewhat new to the brand, and noticed they don't have anything strat-like in their current lineup. If they have, please let me know what you think of them as well. Thanks!

    Condition of guitar.

    I know I'm not telling you anything new here, but....... Be careful if you're buying used online. There could be guitars that are in great cosmetic condition, but for whatever reason are just stinkers. PRS QC is generally really good, but I have no doubt that stinkers slip though every now and...

    After years playing acoustic I'm going to buy an electric guitar

    In my experience, PRS just has better quality control. Guitars are odd. I've played a squire that plays better than an American standard and I've played an epiphone that plays better than an Gibson SG. But nearly every PRS that I picked up has played quite well. I also have a satin standard 22...
