Hi there, I'm new here and just got my first PRS guitar - the SE Custom 24 Quilt. I don't think I can post a picture until I have a few posts, so I'll post one after a couple replies.
I'm actually blown away by how good this guitar is. My other guitars are a Fender Am Strat, a Gibson LP, and 3 MIJ Ibanez. This thing definitely hangs with them no problem. I'm particularly loving the ebony fretboard, first time owning a guitar with ebony.
Although the stock pickups are actually pretty decent, I bought a set of Seymour Duncan JB and 59 since they were on sale at the store I bought my SE at, and I know these are known to be good pickups for mahogany guitars. I also have a set of PRS SE locking tuners on the way.
As I said, this is my first PRS, the first PRS that I've played really (been playing guitar for ~20 years). I don't know what took me so long, but I think I get PRS now, I just love playing this ting. I've always thought they looked good, the people over at PRS really have good taste in guitar aesthetics. Unlike Ibanez, which I love, but they seem to only have awful color options these days.
Anyway, I actually had a few questions for you PRS experts:
1- what is the nut material? I see that all model levels (S2, core, SE) all say "PRS" nut, but are they all the same?
2- what is the fret size on these?
