    Why did PRS Guitars disappear from the rock/metal scene?

    Free or at cost guitars plus endorsement cash is what talks. Truly profitable metal bands are few and far between. Those guys are happy to get free guitars or even just a mention by an endorser. I have some friends that are endorsed by companies and still record with/buy other brands and play...

    S2 Custom - String action with heavy gauge strings

    Probably not. But it's an easy fix if it does.

    A Couple Gigbag Questions

    Gig bag is fine unless its in the back of a truck with heavy amps, etc. Definitely take the trem arm off for transport. You'll be good.

    S2 Custom - String action with heavy gauge strings

    You might not even have to do a truss rod adjustment. Even if you do, it's simple and wont require more than a 1/4 turn. PRS necks are very stable and they respond easily and quickly to even small truss adjustments.

    OK. I'm going to give it one more month and if I still feel the same, it's sale time.

    Is it strange...

    that I’m three weeks into my first USA PRS and I don’t want to play my other guitars? And that it’s crossed my mind to sell them and get another PRS?

    New Scarlet Red PRS CE 24

    Love it. Man, 7 months into playing and you’ve already got a top shelf instrument. Awesome.

    Pickup Rings, Cavity Covers, Screw Holes

    I installed Core rings on my Paul Allender SE. the holes line up correctly but you’ll have to do a little wood filling if you want to use the USA style screws. I just broke off a little bit of a toothpick and it worked fine.

    Have you filed the nut to fit the heavier strings?

    What is this SE ?

    Look at the orange peel on the headstock face. That and the crooked logo tell me that someone redid the headstock. Take off the tuners, wetsand and buff it out and it'll look much better.

    SE Paul Allender Ghost Burst w/mods. Check it out!

    Right! I grew up working on cars so I figured it can’t be *that* hard. It wasn’t! I highly recommend every player learning how to level and dress frets. There is simply no better ‘mod’ you can do to a guitar to improve its sound and playability.

    Yes, this guitar came with an EMG 81TW and an EMG 89, both of which are splittable. The switch to EMG's was around '09 or '10. This version is a '14 and it was the last year of production and the only year for this color.
