Where is that speedo pic
Every time I bought fancy, super-nice TRCs, I put them on the guitar and thought, “Looked better before.” Invariably I took them off, stuck ‘em in a drawer, and lost track of what I did with them. I had some really nice ones from Ron Thorn a long time ago, too. No idea where they are now.
The PS guitars I have came with semi-fancy ones. They match whatever the motif of the guitar is, and look fine, so maybe I simply get used to how the guitars come from the factory, and any change is a wooden version of cognitive dissonance.
I feel this way about the headstock. I don't really care for the headstock having the same finish as the body, I like a contrasting look.
It sounds goofy but I like the back plates trc and even the heel to match. Part of it might be because the prs headstock shape is my favorite and having the flame maple on it kind of blurs the outline. Crazy flame or quilt top with rosewood headstock is to die for.
