If you’ve ever tried to orchestrate anything amongst random musicians, you know that a tale like this doesn’t normally happen… the power of the forum brotherhood at work.

Congrats Sergio.

There’s nothing quite so gratifying as trading for killer PRS.

You’re “Living The Vida Loca”

 

[KentuckyBoiledChiccan]

Excellent, congratulations

 

[Iceman101]

Congrats buddy, but at least put a Santana sticker on it

I bought a set of pickups to put in the DC3 I traded away for this one, and now I’m not hating the pickups in the new one… go figure!

Congrats Sergio! Totally agree that these are great guitars; very underrated, just like their brother, the 305 model....although I see these selling routinely for cheaper. Bonafide core level PRS strat style guitar....pretty darn good value!

My only issue with these (and strats in general, including my 305) is I find the bridge position a bit too thin and strident on its on. I plan on having the bridge position on my 305 routed for a humbucker, but the PTC is not doing that right now, so fingers cross they open up to doing cool mods again!

Congrats and enjoy!

@dogrocketp saved the blue.

I was losing sleep on a nightly basis at the thought of a blue guitar being defiled, I simply had no choice. And I have a blue one already.

Nice!!!

My third DC3:

The single best thing you could ever do to improve your guitar pile is to engage positively with the fine folks at The Official PRS Forum. All my dreams have, and continue to come true because of my years spent here.


I was all set to swap pups and spray paint that powder blue DC3 I had until my buddy Paul @dogrocketp hooked me up with some guy off Baltimore CL.

Dude flew out here on a business trip and brought his DC3 , we met up and gave him my dumb blue one with a rosewood board for this red one with a maple board (what I really wanted again. I miss my previous DC3 with a maple board).

These are stoopid good quality guitars for cheap, even though I find the electronics a bit uninspiring. I may mod this one.

You had a powder blue dc3. WhereTF have I been????

I was just eyeing that rosewood one over on TheGoofusPage and then you go and post this. <3

I’m picturing a powder blue tux from 70’s. With one of those dope ruffle white shirts. Tell me the pick guard was white…

Days like that don’t come very often, I really try to appreciate the moment.

Maple fingerboard, FTW.

Well, obviously you just need to buy *another* guitar for those pups - problem solved!

 

[Mike Duncan]

I like it!!

A maple board would’ve been sick on that one.
