    Fret wire on 305

    Hello. I have a 305 25th Anniversary and absolutely love its feel / playability. Does anyone know what the fretwire is mounted on that model? It looks / feels like a 6100, but I just need a confirmation as I am planning on ref-retting my Strat with the same wire type. Thanks

    Are Experience guitars valuable and collectable?

    You're absolutely right!

    Are Experience guitars valuable and collectable?

    Yes, I totally agree with both of you. But I know a thing or two about Strats and so far I have always managed to buy Strats which I've managed to resell at the same value (if not more). I just don't know about PRS guitars. For sure I will play it and that is the primary reason for wanting to...

    Are Experience guitars valuable and collectable?

    I have an opportunity to purchase a Custom 24 Experience 2011 Abalone, which is quite unique in that it has an ebony fretboard, colour matching headstock, Experience engraved 59/09 pickups and artist pack graded top. The price is $2.7k and the condition is very good (a few minor scuffs, but...

    Pickup covers for 305

    Right, so the answer seems to be that it is not possible to change / remove the stock covers? I was hoping there would be some after market options.... Pity

    Pickup covers for 305

    Does anyone use alternative covers? The stock covers look so cheap and plasticky - it's truly bewildering why PSR chose these for what is a beautiful guitar otherwise. Can the covers be removed at least (thus exposing the coils)?

    305 owner looking for help on humbuckers

    May have to rethink my pickup preference... I listened to a bunch of clips recorder with 59/09s and they do sound quite pleasing to (my) ear - very woody and throaty. I understand they are a hotter version of the 57/08. Can anyone confirm?

    Had a look at that but not quite sold on the look. I've set my eyes on a charcoal burst Custom 22 (with either 57/08s or 53/10s) or a 408.

    Thanks everyone. Sounds like a 408 / 57/08 pickup shootout. Obviously quite a lot of a price difference but the 408 really sounds like a jack of all trades, so probably worth it.

    Thanks! To answer your question, I like a clear, midrangy type over driven tone, which retains clarity, even when getting raunchy. I am not fond on modern focused tones and I don't play metal so a perfect hum bucking tone would be reminiscent of hat live Led Zeppelin half thick Tele / half Les...

    Thanks. Why would your choice fall on the 59/09 particularly? What's their character compared to 57/08, 53/10 and the newest HFSs? I may not get a chance to play one before buying.

    Thanks... though it was not exactly the advice I needed. Oh, and I think the correct term is "oomph"...
