What's wrong with cheez strings?

Scott told me it gets under your fingernails and starts to smell bad.

 

[Ovibos]

They make machines that do that.

Show up late and take forever to set up?

Wrong kinda cheez I'm guessin'.
Something already aged would be preferable. Anything else is likely not gouda nuff.

I think Scott is more of a Cheez Wiz kind of guy.

Don't forget a napkin holder so you don't get cheez on your strings. Maybe a wet wipe dispenser.

Or get a pernambuco fret board so you won't see it.

I hear good things about these $222 Harley Bentons with real V30s that cost less than the raw V30s on their own...

Were I to buy an MT-15 (or swap my Katana combo for a head), I'd possibly pair it with one of those.

What the??? It is less than the two speakers by themselves... I'm no math wiz, but...

does pernambuco come in "Cheez Wiz Yellow?" Or is that a Custom Shop option?

Definite Up Charge for that!

I don't know what I mean any more!

I would think so, what with the limited market market appeal that would have and all. They aren't getting any bulk discounts on that stain.

PRS S2 Studio Guitar (the good news is that I already have one) - $1300 approx
Quilter 101 50 watt head and speaker cabinet - $850 approx (the good news is that I already have one)
5 pedals at an average cost of $175 each = $875 (one pedal will need to be reverb or delay for most people - Quilter head does not have reverb.). To each his own - for me it would be reverb, delay, chorus, OD, and clean boost

I just realized I went over budget Nothing unusual there when it comes to gear.

Dude, this is the PRS forum. I think I’m the only one here that actually has to stick to a budget.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

You know you’re on the PRS Forum when a $3000 budget isn’t enough for a “dream” rig, but more like a “what can you get to scrape by” rig.

Whatever, I’ve seen what you drive. Get back to me when you’re in a 2003 Grand Marquis.

 

[garrett]

I would buy just about everything used. I can rebuild my current amp and pedal setup for about $1200.

That leaves $1800 to buy an early-mid 00's SAS and send it to PTC to mod for individual splits.

That’s a need though. There are these curves on the way to work that need navigating.
