Hi
I bought a new 2014 Custom 24 Wood Library Artists Package with Brazilian rosewood, hybrid pick-up's (57/08 & 59/09) and gold hardware from Wild West Guitars in Hollywood, CA. and have a few questions.
I posted about this guitar just before I bought it to get some opinions and wanted to follow up on that.
First of all; it rocks. PERIOD. My favorite one so far.
Previously I bought a 2007 PRS SE Paul Allender (first version) and was told that I could purchase a 3rd party Graphtech TUSQ nut which was a higher quality part as well as Graphtech PRS String Saver Saddles in gold and went ahead and bought both.
Does anyone recommend to do the same 'upgrades' for my new 24? I should not that I am not experiencing any issues at all.
My 2nd question: I am deciding on what fret material to get for an upcoming replacement. I am looking at the following and would like some input.
JESCAR EVO GOLD FRETWIRE FW57110-EVO ELECTRIC JUMBO PRE-RADIUSED
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Does anyone recommend against the EVO Gold and if so, what would be most appropriate (nickel silver or stainless steel)
The price is ~ $24.00 for the 25 piece kit. It says they are pre-radiused, making it easier as well.
Tnx guys

TUSQ ( IMHO ) would not be an upgrade for a core model PRSi
