Hello all, I'm a bit confused. I've been using a rather odd amp setup. I started off playing acoustic guitar, so naturally I bought a small acoustic amp, an AER Alpha. It is very small, but an amazing amp, very clear, high quality, just the thing for an electro acoustic guitar. When I...

It's strange that so many people change the pickups but leave the other electrical components intact. I have a Korean Hamer, it sounded absolutely awful, I changed the Duncan Designed Korean-made pickups to Seymour Duncan '59 neck and Pearly Gates in the bridge; I thought this made a huge...

Change the strings!!!!! My gosh! All my guitars have the original strings... whatever next? No, of course not :) But I can say that all my mods, bar one, can be reversed to original specification. Bar one? Oh, a rather mad buy, a Korean Tokai, a 2003 1960 Les Paul-inspired model that was...

Hello Sergiodeblanc, I absolutely agree and disagree... I have a few guitars, I have had to change parts on all of them except..... my McCarty Satin Singlecut... of all the guitars I have, this was 'the' only one which was built properly. Every detail of that guitar that influenced tone...

Yes, I read somewhere that Paul designed a set and asked the Korean company making SE's to replicate them, apparently he was very pleased with the results! Do you know what magnets they have? Thank you for the advice, I will have a look at the Hipshot's!

Here is my 2003 SE Soapbar in Vintage Cherry I bought this on eBay, paying quite a lot, hoping that the condition was as good as the seller stated. However, other than surface scratches, which I was able to remove using D'Addario Restorer there were some dents which had to be repaired before...

im curious to know why you chose the Schallers over the Grovers, the Mini locking Rotomatics? They both fit, I'm not sure which would be best. Lovely looking guitar!

2003 SE Soapbar, Translucent Vintage Cherry.... (modified) Here with some of her friends..... A truly brilliant guitar!

Beautiful guitar Sky65! Please, where did you find the ivory tuner buttons? They would look fabulous on my Single cut Soapbar.

The size difference of the spindle is great, the SE ones are much smaller, pop a Phase 2 button on an SE tuner spindle and it's very lose, the hole is much larger..... I thought the Schaller's might be the right size because I think early PRS' had Schaller tuners... therefore I thought Schaller...

Does anyone know which tuner buttons fit the standard SE tuners on an 2003 SE Soapbar? The tuners seem to work well, I just find the buttons too large, and smaller nickel or ivory plastic might look better. Would they be the same size as Grovers, or Schallers? I tried one of the buttons from...

I like my nuts lubricated with a good quality cream containing lanolin...... oh, wrong forum.... Guitars.... think guitars.... I'm feeling a bit inadequate because I couldn't hear any plastic kind of sound from my SE, however, the original nut did feel a bit soft and well, like a cheap piece...

Well I wouldn't have thought of heating to pickguard to bend it... it does look brilliant, as though it came with the guitar! I also now see how it works with the ivory parts.... the guard is 3 ply, with white in the middle..... that makes ALL the difference! Which pickguard did you buy? I...
