Helle everybody,
So finally, as I´ve promised I did it. After travelling many hundred Miles, I´ve
purchased a Coreline SC-250 Ten Top. Bargaining, I´ve got her finally 330 Dollars cheaper
from the starting Price. When you read that further, You will find out why.
The Curse:
In the last days I was trying to find out about the authencity of the Pups(Thanks to some Guys in the Forum by the way). I just called even in the US at the Tech Center. The Pickups are authentic,
but testing the Guitar on a Soldano Head Amplifier showed that something wrong with
the Pups. The sound a bit thin for what I´ve expected from SC 250 Pups
and they feedback strongly as soon, as you stop playing..The Strings were also horribly old. I mean by saying old years..
The Blessing:
Besides this, the Guitar is in excellent condition, no scratches and ding dongs,
great Wood ,Shape and Colour in my Opinion. Neck feels good in the hands as well.
Guitar Case, goodies and all PRS-Papers included.
Conclusion:
I will bring her to my Guitar Tech/Luthier as soon as possible.
First I ask him to try, to remove the metal covers, from that
damn paste., so the feedback might disappear. As well I will
let him check the Pots from the inside.
Well, I believe there is still much room of improvement to get a better PRS-worthy sound of that SC-250 Beauty.
If I can´t get a fuller sound and rid of the feedbacks with the original Pups,
so I have here some options left. Without touching my other PRS Guitars,
I have a nearly new pair of the PRS "M" Metal Pups and a pair of BKP´s
"Holy Grails" and brand new BKP´s Push Pull Pots and Capacitors. Hope it will work.
So what do you think?
Pictures are coming soon.
