core

So I have a pair of OG CEs currently - a 97 and an 04. The 97 had Dragon 1s in it (I opted to go with an old HFS/VB set instead), and the 04 has Dragon 2s. The axe I'm looking at is another 97 (CE 22): the guy selling it says it's all original electronics, and that the previous owner told him...

Hey everyone, Hoping I can get some more info with one of my guitars. Little background, I’m a huge Dave Navarro fan and my grail guitar is/was owning a Core Signature Navarro model. I was luckily able to acquire one from someone who provided proof they had not only worked with Dave but had...

I played the custom 24 core and love it so much I decided I deserve to own one in this lifetime... But given the scarcity of new custom core models in-store locally, I’m thinking about making an online purchase. I’ve been told that the build quality is remarkably consistent, so I’m thinking I’d...

Hi folks. Just received delivery on friday of a core Modern Eagle V. This thing took 7 months to arrive on backorder. My excitement quickly turned to heartbreak. Problem: Will not hold tune whatsoever. Within 30 seconds of playing anything beyond soft finger picking, tuning slips in...

Hello, I’ve seen a lot of reviewers refer to the John Mayer Bolt On as “the core model”. I was wondering if the Bolt-On series was a part of the core range?

Hi, my name is Wily and I'm an addict ;~(( My first hit was on Feb 4, 2021, and on March 09, 2021, my second hit arrived. A third is on layaway! Help me Obe Wan, you are my only hope! This new guitar (a 24 CU Violet Blue Burst) has been christened Birtha Luna Bluvi. Translation is as follows...

Well technically it's a belated NGD as I got the guitar two weeks ago but I really wanted to play the guitar properly for a while and provide an informed review. Also after the two recent NGDs of the 8 string and the Purple Artist custom 24, I thought you lot would murder me. It was quite...

Hi guys Since i bought my SE Pauls guitar i made some DIY upgrades to it due to lack of aftermarket parts back in my country. Now i am also planing to upgrade my jackplate like an american prs (squared) instead of cheap indonesian shape . I want it to be as authentic as possible so is there...

Hey All. I just got something that needs a little (more) dressing up (shoes and purse style). Anyone have a trusted source for a rosewood switch tip (core blade, not toggle)? There are some on Reverb, which works, but I just wanted to see if anyone has a preference or any experience.

My issue with the acoustics from PRS is that you can get import line or something out of your price range (10,000+ dollars). Why haven't they made an s2 or a core or CE lineup of guitars? Yes the SE's are good but why no core lineup??

So I've recently been looking to purchase a Custom 24. But due to the limited market here in Norway, there aren't a whole lot of guitars to choose from, and import is sadly too expensive. Anyways, I found a new S2 Custom 24 and almost decided to buy it, but after searching the used market there...

Hello, I’ve got a question regarding the wiring of the Custom 24 in my avatar: is it possible to wire the 5-way switch as 1: bridge humbucker 2: bridge split 3: both humbuckers 4: neck split 5: neck humbucker I would much rather have this configuration as I don’t get much use out of the...

Has anyone had a bone nut added to a Core model? If so, was there any perceived tonal difference?

Besides the amazing wood drying process on PRS guitars and outstanding craftsmanship, another characteristic that I don’t see advertised as much is the wood grade used in Core guitars. I believe PRS use a lower density mahogany for their core guitars, like you find in the Custom Shop of other...

Love the clarity, string separation and sound of the Starla core pups. Anyone ever tried them in something other than a Starla? Something with a maple top?

putting my new 2008 Mira through its paces, I've now had it for 2 weeks, trying to tweak it to my preferences. Such an Interesting Guitar. I went ahead and installed the Schroeder aluminum wraparound with brass saddles, and it seemed to even out the tone, and sounds basically great. It...

The other day, I was fiddling around with the neck pickup height and pole height on my core model Starla, trying to get the neck to sound brighter, etc. I noticed with the coil tap engaged that the screw coil is the one that remains active. I noted with the screwdriver tip touching the pole...

Hey guys! I have finally come over from the dark side and picked up my first PRS... and it's beautiful! It's a Paul Reed Smith Custom 22 in Antique Violin Amber. It's a 1999 which is the first year of production for the short-lived left-handed core series. I will post another post in a few days...

I've been shopping around for my first core. I play a lot of jazzy jam band stuff (big phish fan) and some indie rock. Looking for some more unique colors that some of the dealers get in from time to time. Not looking to spend more than a ten top. Also anyone with the 85/15 LT? not sure if they...

Does anyone know where to find good guitars online besides reverb, sweetwater and ebay? I'm looking for a prs core custom 24, maple satin neck, nice color (besides amber burst, because that seems to be all I can find with satin neck). Most of the artist packages seem to have glossy necks. I've...
