Great to hear from you @Mikko Dumadag . Congrats on the new role!

Isn’t this one of the longest running threads on here? It would be a real shame for it to lose its quality, consistency, or end all together. It’s definitely one I think we all look forward to. 1) again, I hope Mikko is well 2) Let’s hope PRS continues this thing.

At this point. I’m concerned about our boy Mikko. Two weeks in a row?

I picked out the woods for mine in October. Expecting it in June/July.

I've been lucky enough to track down a few custom 24 stoptails, I'm up to 5, with a 6th being built!

i have a build in progress too, and I'm so curious!

I had this happen on 1 PRS Custom 24 a while back, and I sold it. I loved the look and feel of the guitar, but it just sounded dead to me. I typically play stoptail guitars though, so I just wrote it off as that. One option you could try would be blocking the trem.

The DGT is a fantastic guitar, but if you're going for more of the Les Paul thing, I would say the 594...especially with the difference in the bridge. The PRS Trem is one of the best trem's out there, but you'll get better tuning stability and sustain with the stoptail on the 594. Plus, and...
