NGD, don't think I posted it here:

The red 2011 SAS Studio was last month's purchase, it sat on the wall for two years before I showed up to Sam Ash in Raleigh last month and freed it from its prison. I'm having a difficult time getting the flame figure in the neck and headstock to expose properly:

Nice pair! When i say that to my wife she smacks me. ?????

That DGT is a winner. You're right about the SAS's maple neck. I can tell it is very flamed upon closer inspection. Lovely guitar. Well done.

 

[CantankerousCarl]

Love the grain on the top...scarlet smokeburst with the maple neck is a great combo.

That's a long wait...play the crap outta her!

 

[Egads]

Nice!

Nice Guitar Lindsey...................

 

[alantig]

Good ones, Lindsey!

Huh - she didn't smack me when I said it. Then again, I wasn't talking to her and she couldn't hear me, but still - that puts me one up on you! Or two, as it were.

Sweet!

Good ones, Lindsey!

Dammit!!!!!!!

Bangin'... I'd love to try one of those out.

Congrtas!!! Those are two absolutely smokin' axes...enjoy!!! Both necks are pretty big...right?? At some point, I gotta get a DGT into my basement!!!

 

[László]

Those guitars sure are beautiful, Lindsey!

 

[John Beef]

That's all you need right there. Nice!

I say it all the time, but it never fails. I am not crazy about red guitars in general, but it seems PRS gets the shades just right. Never to brash. That guitar is a beauty!

great choice! Love my Swamp Ash Studio

Yup. a bucker and a pair of NFs covers a TON of ground.
I have a small pile of PRSs but between the Studio and a Singlecut (and it's only an SE..my only SE), nothing else gets much airtime.
Well...the McSoapy still does all the open slide stuff...not even a Studio can really do a P90 perfectly....and I use my old CE for the drop D heavy stuff but I sure got rid of ALL my Fenders shortly after getting the Studio. Strat Schmratt! I don't need no stinkeen fenderz.

Hope you LOVE the SAS.
We need a tone report.
How do you love the NFs?
How do you like the chime and quack in-between voices?
How are you finding the balance between the 57/08 bucker and the NFs? How about the split 57/08 vs the NFs?
My ONLY complaint...well I have a PT carve and I prefer the WTs...but...was that I found the 57/08 grossly underpowered next to the NFs. And in split mode I kinda found it almost useless. I'd either spend all night on just the 57/08 or just the NFs. Switching between them was just too drastic.
Tried adjusting heights...tried everything I could think of.
Wound-up pulling the 57/08 in favor of something hotter.

I didn't give the 57/08 a LOT of time though and a lot of Studio owners (well there aren't many of us) find the balance just fine. One day I'll stick it back in and see what happens. Unless I wind-up selling the 57/08. Come close a couple times :-(

CONGRATS again and cant wait for a full report.

Eagerly awaiting report here, too I am going through a guitar conundrum at the time. With a lot of help from the good folks here at the forum, I think I have decided on the SAS Studio as well...
