from yuck to amazing

[FatFingerBlues]

Okay I just got my PRS Singlecut back from my guitar tech
and its giving me chill bumps
The sound is amazing

If you remember this was a cheap impulse buy
it was filthy and needed cleaning up
it had cheap GHS retrotron pickups in it that left a lot to be desired
So I spent one day cleaning and polishing
I changed the tuners to to PRS locking tuners
My tech put in some Pearly Gates pickups
polished the frets and did a good setup

This thing sounds amazing!

It was a gift
I am working on a simple analog board that I will be using soon I hope

I just meant the plastic waterproof (or fake blood/fake other fluid) cover.

For more cheap (cost effective?) fun try some PRS brass tailpiece studs.

I bet those cabinets are insane when driven!

They look like MG cabs.

I got one as filler in a trade back in the day not expecting much and fell in love. So much more portable than 1960’s. Would buy again.

We discussed a Tonepros Wraparound bridge
so that may be in the future
We decided to try this as is for now

They are MG's
A gift from my Buddy with a serious GAS problem
They still have the Celestion tags hanging from the handles
Not a mark on them

EVERYTHING sounds better through a full stack.

Just record a few power chords.

SC to Pearly Gates to Archon to MG's. Killer combo!

Before you give that a go, try the brass studs. There extremely cheap so even if you don’t notice a difference (and you will) that may be all you wish to do. Not that the TonePros is a bad choice either. Cheers

I may be Mr. 1x12,

but I whole heartedly agree!

Nice rig, and a fine looking guitar!

They’re the wrong radius. PRS/WMI used them for a minute on SEs.

Your (high) E and B strings will pop outta the saddle groove on bends and your action will be lower on the middle strings than the two E strings.

The locking studs are cool though.

Thank you for that!
