    Blood Orange - who digs it?

    Man that is a sweet looking McCarty - nicest I have seen, including the artist package one I uses to have (and wish I still did).

    Yes, the copperhead burst is amazing! I really liked one at WW Guitars, but I was not feeling the maple neck on that one (just for the moment - I generally love maple necks, but for this particular one I wanted mahogany/rosewood). My favorite color of all the PRSi I have had was a rootbeer quilt...

    Yes, I considered ordering one up to my exact specs, but I just don't have the patience. Would be fun though. Although... well, actually, it would not be really any different then what I ended up with, now that I think about it. Probably would not have thought to order a blood orange, but glad...

    Blood Orange - who digs it?

    Holy gadzeuks, that is a great example. All these examples settled it, and I pulled the trigger, you probably saw my NGD. However, I feel I should also drop a pic in this thread. I have to say, I really seriously bonded very quickly with this guitar, including the color. It really looks way...

    Thanks all! I know it is honeymoon period, but I am bonding with this one hard. Just has that feel and sound that works for me, disappears in my hands and resonates in my gut when I turn it up a bit. Love when that happens. Really love the color - was not sure I would from the pics, but it...

    NGD: 24-08

    I am digging my 408, which I have been playing most of this month, so much, after being devoid of PRSi for some time, and having recently thinned the herd (with plans for further thinning), I decided to spring for this one. Sounds totally different from the 408, but equally superb. Was not my...

    Private Stock is fading!!!

    Is it not going to just fade again? Err, yes it is, actually. Especially if you have many guitars. Way more of a hassle to find the case, putz around with it to get the guitar out, put the case aside, versus just grab a guitar off of a stand.

    NGD - Incoming

    Just to update - got the guitar about a couple of weeks ago now, and had a chance to play it at a few rehearsals. I think this is going to be my favorite one so far in terms of sound. This is in comparison to previous PRS I have owned over the years, including a McCarty with 57/08's, a PS...

    Maple neck/FB vs Mahogany neck/RW FB

    Yup, I have around 50/50 maple/hog too. I may or may not hear a difference in tone, but it is not a factor for me. Definitely I notice a difference in feel, but not when I am actually playing live, only when I am putzing around and scrutinizing things when playing by myself. Once I get to...

    Maple neck/FB vs Mahogany neck/RW FB

    The ones I am looking at are 24-08's. I think I am going hog - not sure why, just a feeling.

    Maple neck/FB vs Mahogany neck/RW FB

    I am looking at a couple of guitars that are otherwise identical, and having a hell of a time choosing which (if either) I want. I generally prefer RW fingerboards in look and feel, but I somewhat prefer the finish on the body of the one with the maple neck/FB. I am not too concerned with the...

    Blood Orange - who digs it?

    Got a link? Can't find it with google, but I'd love to see that.

    Pattern vs Pattern thin

    This is my experience too - I prefer .88 at the first fret, but I can live with the pattern at .84, and other similar fenders etc. I definitely prefer the feel of the necks on my guitars which have beefier specs. This includes my nocaster, which is pretty much an inch from the nut to the 12th...

    Pattern vs Pattern thin

    Yah, so it is not just in my head. Glad I asked. It has been awhile since I owned a PT profile, so I was wondering if I was must remembering wrong.
