NGD: 2011 PRS SC 58

[Koubee]

Whooooo weeeee.... This guitar smokes. I'll post pics but it says I need 3 post before I can post links.

The 5708 pickups are amazing, I read some hate about these, and cannot believe it. I have a R0 limited edition, and this SC58 plays equally as well.

Fit, comfort, finish it's all there. The top is amazing can't wait to post pics. East Indian rosewood fingerboard with birds totally sensational.

The resonance is better than my LP, and it's all over the fretboard, even on high E. Notes jump out. Will post a video soon.

Nothing wrong with 57/08. I have some.
Spam some other thread and get those photos up.

Yeah I really don't know where you've read hate from. They are pretty universally well regarded around here.

just Google research on the SC58 and it's the first thread or two that comes up. But I agree it's completely ridiculous. Wonderful sounding pickups

The flame top is so tight grain.... the resonance is amazing. I have 30 guitars, constantly switching, never EVER considered selling my R0, limited edition, aged, but this guitar ended up costing 1/2 the price, and is the only guitar I have ever played that sounds better.

Nice one! I had a MC58 that was killer.

Enjoy!

I have a blue one as well, it is simply the best guitar ever. Everything about it just sounds and feels right....and it looks great.

Welcome to the forum.

Oh man, that case is awesome! I absolutely love your Singlecut. The color, the top, it’s a beauty. Congrats!

 

[bodia]

Nice case, too!

Is yours darker blue like mine? I completely agree. It's the most perfect guitar ever made. I had a 90s Custom 22, but hated that I couldn't adjust intonation (wrap around bridge), it was cool too, sounded great, but this one is absolutely perfect. I'm now 2 days in seriously thinking of selling my favorite les paul haha... but not quite yet.

Yup... you're screwed now...
Congrats on a killer guitar, it's gorgeous.
