No - there's plenty of room for a strat sized pickup. I wanted to put in a real tele bridge pickup, but that would have required some routing to fit.

Just did a pickup and switch mod on mine. Strat pickups, actually a Seymour Duncan Twangbanger in the bridge, and a SD Quarter Pounder in the neck. And a blender knob instead of the switch. I'm not totally sold on these pickups yet, but will give them a sporting chance before switching them...

As above with me. In humbucking mode they're too bright - the tone knob needs to be your friend with this guitar.

Corner Music was a PRS dealer and repair place for a long time. Not at the moment, but their repair people might be a good bet for this.

Ah yes. Back 15 years ago when I built this thing I was all over the forums and stuff about this, and would have known exactly what you meant. It's similar to what you describe, but not quite. This one does a "turn off the front panel tone stack" thing when you engage the boost switch, so when...

It's a Bluesmaster 50. Defeat switch? Not that I know of. It has a footswitch...

Oh wait, we're doing amps too?

Well, kinda. After buying (and later selling unfortunately) my '85 custom 24 I built two partscasters, using mostly warmoth wood parts. The thing that really struck me about that 85 is how well it stayed in tune, even with active tremolo bar use. So those partscasters got wilkinson bridges...

My '89 Custom 24 - you know the drill. Mahogany, maple, Brazilian, etc. Original Dragon pu's.

It's quite possible that it left the shop with a good setup, and traveling through cold weather or weather of varying temperatures caused it to "go out" of spec. It may just need a tiny truss rod adjustment, if everything is as you say.

The one that says Dragon II?

I had to look at this one about 6 times before I figured out what was going on.

It's one more than 200000. So it's one louder.

@gabebennett, you seem to be making a judgement call on all PRS guitars based on your experience with just one of them. If you've read the rest of this thread you'll know the real story - that lots of guitars have dead spots to various degrees, not just PRS but all of them. Whether or not you...

I've posted this guitar elsewhere, but since the time I started this thread, I got this one - And it's fantastic! Really lives up to its promise of tonal diversity. One thing I've discovered is that with this guitar the tone knob is the key to happiness - for lots of guitars, I've just left...
