    I Sort Of Feel Bad Selling My R8

    I was in the exact same boat a little over a year ago. Had a wonderful R9 that I used to play a lot, but had become kind of a case queen. And then once I got my WL SC594, I just never had the urge to play the R9 at all. The 594 is lighter, more ergonomic, and the coil splits make it so much...

    Best way to paint over a ding

    Hi, I recently dinged the headstock on one of my PRS against the wall. It’s pretty small, and fortunately mostly on the back, where it is just painted black, like the neck: With the wood exposed, I’d like to just cover it up with something black, like a sharpie. But since the finish is...

    Talk to me about PG/MEV bridge pickup

    So, I’ve had a couple 408s, and my SH 408 is arguably my favorite guitar. So I have a good idea of what the narrow pup sounds like in the neck. I think it’s amazing split, and really sounds Strat-like more than any split humbucker I’ve ever encountered. As a full humbucker, I appreciate the...

    Modern Eagle V Experience 2020

    Yea I think if it had a crack wood neck I just might go for it. Mostly cause with all the tonal options, I would hope it could unseat a couple of my top PRSi - and I just think my “ultimate” PRS would have a RW neck. Just a personal preference. Plus it’s a ME, it really goes without saying...

    Post your Paul's guitar

    I agree with the statements that 408 pups should be featured on more models. The full size 408 bridge pup is my fav bridge pup that PRS currently makes. However, last time I looked the 408 was no longer even listed as current production model. Just PG. It seemed like there was a lot of...

    Rapid fading of specific colors?

    So, if it’s luck of the draw and this particular guitar has faded a good bit just in 2-3 years, is that a sign that this one has bad luck because of the way it was stained, and is gonna continue fading at a good rate? (I have no reason to think that it wasn’t well taken care of, but that doesn’t...

    Rapid fading of certain finishes?

    Hi, I’m looking at a used (a little over 2 years old) PRS in Faded Blue Jean. I was able to find its original listing and the color has faded a good bit since then. The extremely trustworthy, big time PRS dealer tells me that FBJ finish has a very common fading problem, and otherwise lists...

    Rapid fading of specific colors?

    So is it just like a lot initially that comes off, or does it speak to how the prior owner maintained it?

    I am forming an exploratory Crackwood committee...

    Yea man, RW necks are really special and something every PRS aficionado should try. Here’s my #1, a WL SH 408. The extra low end sounds huge with the oversize bridge pickup. Jazz chords have this wonderful warm depth in the middle or neck pickup. And split neck sounds have this great scooped...

    Incoming! 35th Custom 24

    Well, I finally caved and went for my first new PRS in a number of years. Combining my two favorite models - 408 and Cu24, along with the 35th Anniversary fanfare, was just too much and I couldn't resist. Especially with this blue jean-like top. I think the top is outrageously awesome for a...

    35th Anniversary Custom 24

    Hey, I haven’t seen much talk from those that have gotten one of these yet. Obviously, I know they just hit the market in the past month or so, making the pool small. But, to the extent they’re out there - I’d be curious to hear from those that have gotten one (or even just played one) and how...
