NGD - SE SAS Charcoal - Can you find the MOD?

[waswell]

Purchased this one because of the 2 piece body and the beautiful wood grain. It's a bit on the heavy side but not a back breaker.

MOD was simple yet effective. Not sure why PRS didn't do this to begin with?

Enjoy the pics. posted thread #19

Congrats!


Sweet top!


Looks like you changed the pickup mounting ring screws to black

This! Does it mean I look at too many guitars when I noticed it right away?

OP-Looks good. I've swapped to black on some and others I've swapped to silver. Then I have some the same as they came. Depends on the guitar. Both ways look good to me on different days.
Congrats

Toothace,

You are correct. Used Fender black pickguard screws. Had to drill the neck pickup ring holes a little deeper but other than that it was a straight swap.

Looks great! 100% better than the bolts (triple size screws to make sure those pickup rings don’t move lol) they use on all the SE’s. That’s also a sweet looking SAS as the variations are many. What’s the weight like?

The have smaller ones that fit in the rings without mods. PRS uses these in some models. Some of the core rings come with them too.

Weight is 8.6 lbs.

Let me clarify ..... had to drill the body for the screw depth not the pickup rings.

Users who have a google account (and possibly are also logged in to said account) will see the pictures, others may not. I can see them, but I have a google account that I am logged into. Some details on the "why" of this can be found in this thread ( https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/sharing-pictures-on-prs-forum.47818/#post-637945 ).

Great lookin' axe! Congrats and enjoy!!

Nice! How did the screw holes look? My SE SAS charcoal had the nicest looking screw holes of any SE I owned.

 

[waswell]

aphantomvaper,

I didn't notice the holes as I never removed the pickup rings. Did one screw at a time. Easy process though.
