    Thank you my friend. That's good to note. $20? that's a cheap option considering what that cost nowadays on a custom neck. The grain is not as "spiderweb'ish" or redish as some Braz boards...I'm convinced It's a really, really dark, rich Rosewood.

    The hole hasn't been oversize and fits the shaft without need for the washer but I believe there may have been a key washer as the switch shaft has a small key-way. Could be the tech mistakenly mixed up the washers and possible misplaced the key washer. I carefully threaded the nut on but not...

    That yellow looks very, very sweet. Nice grain on that Rosewood too. Which leads me another question. Did PRS use Ebony or Brazilian fret board woods early on? My neck is about as dark as it get's if it's rosewood (BTW 11.85/9.65 on my pickups..)

    Like my 77' Harley Davidson Shovel, parts are subject to whim, ha...Actually I'm relived to hear PRS used some impulse or what was available to the artistry the builder. Make's for a uniquely special product. The washer/switch is stock. So to be clear; the bridge PU's un-unique.I may have...

    Much appreciated. Can I ask for some clarification on a few things please; The sweet switch was there when purchased. Did they not originally come this way? The hole has not been over-sized to my knowledge. I ran a micro 3 position toggle here. The back of the pickups shows a small sticker...

    Hi all, new here... I would like some advice from the PRS brains on a bridge pickup query and a fair sale value. In 89' I bought this beautiful Signature Series #368 PRS in Emerald green. I understand these to be Paul's premier ultimate quality wood grade guitars and are based on the Custom's...
