I have a Santana SE Singlecut with the newer TCI ”S” pickups. They were cool, but swapping them for some good ol’ Duncans was a massive upgrade. I also have a Santana MD 10-Top. Now that sounds like Smooth (and a whole lot of other things).

I’m also thinking about buying these, but I don’t really have a guitar that I would want to put them into. I like all the pickups they’ve got now. Oh well, guess I’ll just HAVE to buy yet another guitar. Damnit.

Flame for sure. Can’t stand quilt tops personally.

Yeah, that guitar is trash. You better send it to me for disposal.

I love fakes when they’re this bad. They just make me smile.

Bought it!

All gifts should be PRS. For everyone.

I think I like that green singlecut with trem the best! But the sofa is the real hero here.

Yeah, some say the SD90s are a direct fit, but I wonder…I had an SE Zach Myers (2022) which, as far as I know, has the exact same tuners as the SE Paul’s, and they did not fit.

I think you might benefit from changing to slightly hotter pickups. I remember having a Zach Myers and swapping the pickups to SD Pearly Gates pickups, which are a bit more compressed. A lighter pick might also help, but it might be unfruitful to change the feel of the pick. The 245s pickups...

Do it. Sell the Strat and buy a real guitar, such as a PRS McCarty 594.

Nope. I think I got into PRS because of Smooth. I’m sure many others did too.

I was there. He played that PRS all night, both sets. No Tele or nuthin’ this time. He was also really into his POG pedal (or whatever octave pedal he uses).

Fun fact: the luthier who finished that instrument is the person who coined the phrase ”as good as it gets.”

I always thought that CE stood for Cheese Eater.
