    How do 85/15 s pickups compare to #7 s pickups?

    Hi all, I just got a second hand PRS S2 Custom 22 (2016) from a guitar swap. It mounts #7 S Pickups as is from 2016 and to be honest, my first impression (I only have played that guitar for a couple of hours so far) is that I'm a bit disappointed in the sense that I was expecting more joy from...

    NGD - PRS SE Standard 24 Ltd Edition in White Pearl

    Just got this yesterday :) I have played Fender guitars for many years and wanted something with humbuckers. I much prefer PRS as Les Pauls sound 'plummy' to my ears (or it may just be my playing style). The PRS definitely has some 'bite' to it. This is a relatively low price guitar but...

    PRS CE 24 rotary knob

    I have an older PRS CE 24 and wanted to know which position gives what tone. I found this: Position 10: Humbucking treble (bridge) pickup alone Position 9: Outside coils of both pickups in parallel for what PRS calls a “deep and clear” sound Position 8: Series single coils – PRS describes...

    My 513 Baritone Experiment

    My Blue Matteo 2008 513 is a lovely guitar which I'll probably never sell, but due to two other 513s in the stable, I thought having all of them in the same tuning was a bit redundant. At the same time, I have recently started playing a lot more in B standard and drop A, and find the 27-28"...

    PRS Signature strings: Quick thoughts

    These intrigued me when they were launched some months ago but only recently arrived at my local guitar shop. Picked up today, installed these onto my 513 Rosewood .. and was blown away!!! Two things stood out for me in particular - harmonic quality to notes. The 513 has a harmonic bloom quality...

    NGD: NOS Modern Eagle 1 2012. Is it the last 'new' ME1?

    Its finally happened. The ME1 has been on my must-have some day list for a while. I have come across a few but either they haven't been the spec I want (aka not Double cut Trem) or too expensive compared to the market price. Then out of nowhere it appeared. I didn't pick it up immediately...

    PRS Custom 22 vs Gibson Les Paul Custom

    As you may know, there are a lot of discussions regarding which guitar is better, Gibson Les Paul or PRS custom 22. I happened to have both, so I made short video comparing them side by side, unplugged and straight to the amp. To my taste PRS sounded a bit better here, but this PRS is really...

    PRS Journey part 1: Custom 22 in Custom Purple

    So on another thread in this forum, someone noted i had lost track of how many PRSs i had. Jokes apart, thats when it hit me that ive hit double digits which is a touch crazy since i only first acquired a PRS five years ago. Also helps that i have never sold a core PRS guitar (which says...

    In coming NGD!!!!! PRS Special 22

    I have been looking around for a LONG time trying to find a Fire Red Burst PRS Special 22 in the UK. I was looking daily at all the PRS Dealers web pages hoping and hoping to find a Fire Red and a couple of months back, I found this 'beauty'. In sheer desperation, I contacted a PRS Dealer and...

    Is this a fake singlecut SE? Need help!

    Hey everyone! 1st of all, I don't want this to come across as spam, I just didn't know where else to turn to at the moment. I really need some help identifying a possible fake before I actually do business with this person. Anyway, I contacted this person if they'd be interested in trading...

    (my 1st post) NGD: Modern Eagle 1, 2004 BRW Amber. One of the first ME’s ever?

    First post here! Just acquired a drop dead mint ME1. Took the photo below yesterday! The serial number is 4 88845. PRS Customer Service said the guitar is from early 2004. I can’t find a single other 2004 ME1 with a serial number that’s earlier than mine; does anyone have one that’s earlier than...

    Wood quality on Core guitars

    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...

    Mark Holcomb SE Signature 7 String Possibility

    Hey guys, I own 2 Holcomb SE Models (Holcomb Burst, Satin Grey Black) and absolutely love them all around. I also have a PRS SVN that I've upgraded, but I would love to see a 7 string version of the Holcomb SE. Does anyone else feel the same? If so how can we make this happen?

    594 vs. Tremonti. Thoughts?

    So I'm a long term Les Paul and then 594 player who recently fell in love with a Artist Pack Tremonti I acquired recently. So these are my thoughts..articulated in more detail in my video below. Different strokes for different folks 594: high quality, high definition 'vintage' Les Paul Tremonti...

    Treble bleed question

    I’m convinced that the treble bleed cap makes a difference, even with the volume at 10. It’s wired to the input and the output. Discuss?

    PRS SVN Players

    Last year I purchased a PRS SVN Black Cherry finish and have recently upgraded the tuners, pickups, and knobs. Now, all the guitar hardware is black and it looks a lot better to me personally. I replaced the prs bridge with a black hipshot, swapped the stock pickups for Seymour Duncan...

    NGD - SE Cu 24 - Spalted - Indonesian Cor-Tek

    They were having a factory closeout on these at Sweetwater, couldn't resist. :) The quality/fit/feel/finish, all absolutely on par with my Korean SEs, which is to say, excellent. The body is heavy, not too heavy, but substantial feeling, just right. The fret ends are terrifically smooth, looks...

    NGD - 2019 S2 Mira

    My guitar arrived a month early, a very pleasant surprise! It is everything I expected, luscious goodness! Fit/feel/finish/intonation/setup/looks, all seem perfect. The low output pups are terrific, very smooth, bright and harmonically rich, and the guitar has fantastic sustain even at lower...

    NUGDx2 - SE Std 22 - SE 245 Std - 2015 Indonesian PT Wildwood

    So, while waiting (jonesing) for my Mira and SE Paul's, I saw this used SE Std 22 (MII) at Daves, for a reasonable price and I thought, what the heck, I'll take a chance. If nothing else, it looks very good (to me), and I can always mod it if needed. Overall it is in great shape, very little...
