I've had a few MEs and McRosies and I wouldn't say there's anything 'better' about all MEs vs McRosies. They vary a lot tonally, as I find all rosewood necked guitars do. They aren't as consistent as mahogany or maple. I find the same applies to 594s too. Treat each guitar as it's own thing...

Cheers! It juts has a micro-burst around the edges, it's almost just a single colour. It's very subtle. I copied the style of my Collection V models where it works well too.

Thank you - that's my own creation. A 594 with Signature electronics and a chaltecoco neck, the colour is Apricot.

Yes, I've had the guitar several months and have made lots of adjustments and I'm still not happy. This isn't my first rodeo ;) Matching lower output pickups may work for some, but not for me.

Many thanks, they're my "never going anwhere" guitars. Centre is my #1, left is #2 and used as a gig backup.

Both 58/15LTs in my PS 594 read 7.9k DC and I find the neck too woolly and the treble a bit too thin. I've just ordered some custom PAF-types to replace them with a slightly hotter bridge and a weaker neck. I prefer medium-heat pickups and definitely a calibrated set, so they're not really my...

Big 408 fan here, albeit it Signature switching guise. Very versatile guitars, especially for live work:

There are two SC245s in the UK with pernambuco necks. I have one of them, the other has a two piece bridge. This is mine:

Wood and guitars vary, I'm just very happy with my pernie guitars and would seek out others based on them. It's all good!

I prefer the tone and sustain characteristics of a pernambuco neck, but raw BRW does feel good to play...

I asked many times for a pernambuco neck blank for a PS build and was told there were none. I even had my dealer ask Paul directly at a meet and greet, and I asked him too, and he said there's none. There may be some blanks left, but they're not available to mere mortals!

I don't think PRS had very much of it. It was only available on PS orders for a short while around 2010, then the remainder was used up on the Collection guitars in 2012. I don't think it's been used on anything since then.

The one with the wider flames is my #1 gigging guitar, it gets played a LOT. Everyone needs a backup, right?

My first (PS SC245): Which got me hooked enough on pernambuco necks to buy these two Collection Vs: Due to the now non-availability of pernambuco, and after Paul convincing me, I went with poor man's pernambuco (chaltecoco) on my PS 408-594 hybrid:

Google pics is a pain sometimes, sorry! I'll have to look at other hosts.
