hey everyone my name is Gio and have been playing guitar for quite some time now and i have finally been able to get my first PRS. I have always loved they way they looked but they were always out of my reach.
I have purchased a used stripped 58 in purple sunset and i have to say it is a beautiful looking guitar. sounds pretty great too, not sure if i really like the pickups yet though. iI really like bare knuckle pickups and I may swap these out for a set of them. '
also I was curious what the nut width is on this guitar , im guessing this is a modified wide fat neck so its 1 11/16 but not really sure just don't ever want a 1 5/8 neck again cause it hurts my elbow so if anyone could tell me what it is i would appreciate it it feels like 1 11/16 to me but i dont know. so here is a picture of the guiatr not the best picture but i wanted to put one up.

That tear drop is pretty hot. What do you like about the Bare Knuckle pickups over these PRS? Welcome!!

I love the look. The Stripped 58 has a Pattern neck, akin to a Wide Fat, which it replaced in the lineup.

It is indeed 1 11/16 at the nut.

That is a very good looking stripper...and with birds to boot! Congrats Goo, and welcome!

I just really like the bare knuckle pickups that I have been using in my strat , it's the rebel yell set . But I really haven't put the pickups in this guitar through it paces yet either .
The rebel yells are just so full sounding with a nice bite to them .

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

It really is a beautiful guitar and it seems like it is built perfectly. It is so nice I really am afraid to play it , I play quite a bit and have at least 4 to 8 gigs a month and most of my other guitars are pretty road worn. So hopefully I can keep it to a minimum with this guitar that's if I bring it to gigs not sure I am going to yet.

i have to say this seems like one of the friendliest forums I have eve been on , I am very glad I joined now.
