    HX/DA lack of sizzle

    Hi, I’ve owned a PRS hx/da for 10 years or so. I would like to mod the amp to get more presence and sizzle. Trying to get into EVH territory. With the master volume, presence, mids, and treble cranked, it is missing the upper end chirp and sizzle. Feels more like a super bass circuit...

    Intro to the forum and question about Silver Sky Headstock

    Intro into how I got here (Skip if you don't care): Hey guys! new to the forum but not new to guitars or PRS. My CU22 from 2016 has been my favourite guitar for a bit now. Im a huge Strat fan and have always been curious about the Silver Sky but for whatever reason I was always hesitant. Last...

    S2 594 McCarty Mods thread

    I’m a huge fan of modding lower levels PRS guitars. Make them yours. Let me see your modifications to the PRS S2 594 guitars. I’ll start with my latest and greatest. I was tempted to put in 58/15 LT pickups but held off since that’s what my McCarty core (non 594) comes with stock Core vintage...

    Mira single pickup.Thoughts ? Pickup and wiring

    I love my Mira SE. I was thinking to configure it just like a double cut LP jr. Single hum-sized p90 in the bridge. Using an Esquire type wiring. Any suggestions as to cap and pot values/types? Has anyone ever done this before? Thanks for your time and suggestions.

    Tremonti Route details

    Hi. I have a PRS SE Standard 24 and I was thinking of having it routed similar to Tremonti to gain a little more up movement on the tremolo. I notice that if I route the wood beneath the back of the bridge there will be an open space dropping straight back to the back plate as the wood is quite...

    I want to do something crazy to a CE (concentric dual pot with coil tap)

    I'm looking to do something odd to a CE 24. TLDR I'm looking for a stacked pot that will allow me to control volume and tone with a stacked knob, but still allow me to tap the coils with a push or pull. Long version. I've played Gibson style guitars most of my life, because of this I've...

    ZM SE (Green Model) Mod Advice

    Hey PRS Family, So the story is I am getting a Zach Meyers PRS SE for $400 bucks because I basically have a rich friend who bought it, played it once, and decided he didn't like it. Lucky me. I also have these laying around which are going in there: Seymour Duncan APH-2n Alnico II Pro Slash...

    S2 Vela neck pickup (type d) pole height adjustment?

    Had to repost because of a typo I made in the title, didn't know how to delete the og post Hi everyone! I'm new here. I bought a vela a couple months ago and I like it quite a lot. My only complaint with it is that the neck pickup seems to be very muddy and way too bass heavy for my taste. I've...

    Modifying a Private Stock Headstock Inlay & Refinish.

    I have two blue Private stock PRS's. One I left in a case and forgot about, and the other so nice I left it on a stand by a open window for a few years. As you can imagine that guitar is no longer blue, and now more of a light grey. I really don't like it, and I really want a Scarlet Red guitar...

    Pickup Polarity on the Customs?

    Howdy everyone, A couple years ago, I did a major rewiring round on my Santana SE. The idea was to get to some of the options on the Customs. I swapped out the selector switch for a 5-position rotary, and wired it to get the Custom combos. I also swapped out the pickup magnets, and even their...

    Ilitch System install onto Silver Sky?

    Has anyone installed a Ilitch Hum Cancelling system into their Silver Sky? I know that I would have to flip the reverse wound pick up which is scary if it changes the tone. Also did the system drill easily onto your back plate? Any info would be awesome Im considering this but dont want to mess...

    Recently Purchased an SE 245 singlecut (Indonesian)

    So far loving my SE 245. The way the strings bend on the 24.5" scale neck is absolutely great compared to the american pro tele i'm used to. I am currently using a 50 watt boss katana amp and am looking to get more of a classic 60-70s treble sound out of the guitar. I am fairly new to modding...

    245S Pickup parallel wiring

    Hi. I have a recent stock SE Zach Myers semi. I'm interested in trying the neck humbucker coils wired parallel instead of series. I've read and heard I could expect that to brighten/thin the tone a little and also drop the output a bit, and that sounds good to me personally. It has the green and...

    Adventures in modding

    I decided to swap pickups in the black CU22. Simple. No big job. Just put the DGT pickup I never should have removed back in the bridge instead of the Duncan Custom 5, and put a matching brushed nickel cover on the Duncan Jazz in the neck. The DGT pickup was no problem. I put the cover on the...

    5 way Rotary to McCarty with push pull conversion

    I have a 2008 Custom 22 loaded with Dragon II. It has the 5-way rotary switch. I've been thinking of changing it to the McCarty wiring with a push-pull tone pot for coil tapping/splitting. I think the current wiring I have follows this diagram...

    Modding my Archon 50, along with some questions

    I'm in the process of getting my Archon 50 head modded, solely for aesthetic reasons. So far, I had it retolexed awhile back to match my MESA 4x12 and quell my inner OCD about that. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYEt_4UhFPh/ As for other things I'm looking forward to: -PRS doesn't make wooden...
