    I've heard they're uncovered 245 PUs.

    Pre-S2 Miras?

    Many times it’s WT, but Regular was an option. My Mira is a maple top with Regular neck. It’s one of my favorite guitars.

    Let's talk veneer

    I’m fully in agreement that an SE is, in legal and commercial terms, a PRS guitar. Even the shape. It’s the actual product that isn’t more than superficially similar to the US-made guitars. It’s a lot like the difference between a giclée and the real deal.

    How quickly do you ship when you sell on Reverb?

    The last time I sold a guitar, I was on a camping trip when it was purchased. I simply messaged the buyer and explained. I try to ship as soon as possible. I get that not everyone can do that. I’ve been buying and selling through the Internet for over 25 years. I’ve learned that not everyone...

    Let's talk veneer

    You’re discussing the coarse bits—the shape and materials. I’m talking about the actual methods and design specifics. The SEs are not the same designs as the S2s, Bolt-Ons, and Cores. They mimic the shapes and are close on dimensions. There’s so much more that goes into a manufacturing...

    Let's talk veneer

    I’m unsure about some of this, starting with the design. While I’m sure PRS provided the specifications of the overall product, I’d suspect Cor-Tek actually designed the guitars. They would be the ones with expertise in their manufacturing methods, production constraints, and methods. My...

    Let's talk veneer

    How would you feel about a printed/stained/paper top that looked great but wasn't *really* what it appeared to be? Does the substance matter or only the appearance? This won't be a popular thought, but to me... There's not a lot of difference between a "fake" PRS and an SE that's made to look...

    It's not about physical failure.

    Let's talk veneer

    Yeah, they’re not my thing. It’s style over substance, to me. I have one guitar with a veneered body. It’s a Taiwanese Yamaha. It’s a fine guitar, but it’s my beater. It goes places I don’t want my “real” guitars to go. Veneer tops lack authenticity, in my mind. I’m not a person who needs...

    Delphi, we have a problem.

    “In” where? That Pringles rectangle is obviously flat.

    Delphi, we have a problem.

    Have you ever flown to Hawaii? You'll notice that the flights to Hawaii are a bit longer than the flights from Hawaii.

    Delphi, we have a problem.

    I’ve never taken the time to ask a flat-Earther about Coriolis effect or Hadley Cell theory. I wonder what they would say?

    The Guitar Gear Rabbit...Black Hole

    Shopify is a host for a great many scam sites. Betcha a dollar that if you Google the SN of the guitar, you’ll find a legit listing elsewhere for it.

    Canadian to US ?

    I’d be wary of anything having Braz bits.

    Custom 24 Artist finish faded from 'blue matteo' to 'dull grey' in 4 years - options?

    I'm an attorney, but not a practicing one. I read it when I got my first PRS. It's not like there's a lot to read when you get the guitar. Not sure why you're going on about this, but it's certainly pushing me towards my first impression of you--the kind that will say things that might not be...

    Custom 24 Artist finish faded from 'blue matteo' to 'dull grey' in 4 years - options?

    I have conflicting reactions to this. Part of me says, yeah, this is what happens when you leave a blue PRS exposed to light. Yes, the OP says he didn’t do that, but people will say a lot of things at times. I don’t know the OP, so no idea if he’s on the level or mistakenly thinking that...

    What would you consider a "fair price" for this PRS?

    Say what you want, but look at those frets. That guitar has seen some use. Under the cosmetic issues, it’s probably a pretty good guitar. I’m not one to turn my nose up at a guitar that’s in need of some love. That said, there’d have to be a hefty discount to purchase that one. If I had a...

    Best years for PRS guitars?

    Sorry, but that’s a different Phil McKnight than I’ve watched. His bread and butter seems to be doing reviews on low-end, no-name crap. He talks about things in very positive terms—always coded with “for what it is.” Phil shills with the best of them. To find any real, legit guitar reviews...

    PRS Silver Sky delays

    Tried taking your order confirmation/price to other dealers? I’d think someone would want the sale.
