    Is this the wood grain pattern...or...finishing problems?

    This is my newer SE 245. This weird mark on the fretboard...doesn't seem like it is the natural grain/pattern of the wood, but almost like a glue stain that was wiped off fast or something...it was there since the day I unboxed it but never thought about it until now. Any thoughts?

    Flattening a fretboard? (re-radius)

    I have an SE Custom 24. I love it but there are two things I don't like: the pick-ups, which I can change (duh), and the 10" fretboard radius. I don't need a crazy flat fretboard like 20", but I find it easier to play my Strats (10"-14" radius) and Gibson Explorer (12" radius). Is it possible to...

    Normal wear for a maple SS?

    Purchased those polar blue silver sky back in December. Intermediate player with 1 hour a day average play. Not too worried about it, but is this kind of wear expected so soon? Are my sweaty hands a natural destroyer of fine finishes? https://ibb.co/0sTm7Gk https://ibb.co/2ghVy7k...

I didn’t see the sapwood in the pictures on the listing, and it really bothers me. I have 7 other PRS guitars and have never had this on any...

    Pre Factory Rosewood Fretboard Finish Repair?

    The finish on my 1989 Custom 24 rosewood fretboard has spots where years of play has created worn out spots on the fretboard. It appears to have worn through any finish that was applied by the factory. The finish is also lifting on the edges in some places. Is there a way to build up the finish...

    Ziricote Fretboard -Tone Scouting mission

    ziricote seems to be creeping into fretboards more and more. I've had my eye on several PRS guitars with ziricote fretboard. I probably would probably own one now if they had Brazilian rosewood. I've tried to do my 30 minutes of Ziricote homework. She is a beautiful looking wood,very...

    SE CU24 x S2 Std Satin 24 - (Which Should I Buy?)

    Hi guys. Hoping not to create a thread that already exists. Looked in forum and couldn't find the answer to this. It's my first time at this forum and it will be my first PRS too. And I'm really in need of help to decide if I should buy a SE Custom 24 (2017 Trampas Green) or a S2 Standard 24...
