Hey Wolfhound... My Strat and my PG are for all practical purposes identical in terms of balance on the knee. Having said that, they are nearly identical in weight too... 6 lb. 11 oz. and 7 lb. 1 oz. respectively. So in your case, you might want to take the weight into consideration. It's not...

It's coming up on a year since I purchased my first PRS - a 2020 Paul's Guitar. Ordered it on Dec. 2, 2020. I'm no pro, but I'm not exactly a rookie either. I'm 70 years old, and I've been playing the guitar since I was 9 or 10. I've owned too many guitars to remember over the years, and I...

But if I turn on the Peterson Strobo Stomp, I see it's off a few cents. My PRS, on the other hand, is dead nuts on after the same amount of time. The...

I will always own a Les Paul. It's iconic. Arguably the guitar and the sound of the soundtrack of my life. Fortunately, for me at least, I can afford to own more than one guitar. So I also own a PRS. My PRS sounds just as good, and actually plays better (easier) than my Les Paul. It also stays...

Thanks MW! I appreciate your comments!

Thanks MW!

We have a local Elk herd numbering approximately 200. I got this one with a 500mm lens and a 1.4x teleconverter for an effective focal length of 700mm.

Sure. You can say the same thing about any business... Even PRS Guitars. But in your OP you said "Image hosting sites are all scams with terrible privacy policies and nonexistent property protections." That is simply not true. The 2 sites that I mentioned are not scams, have very good privacy...
