Soooo much respect for that.This was a great episode. Besides the answer noted, I liked that Paul didn't try to convert Steve - he was quite respectful of the fact that Vai's guitars, which are pretty much customs for him (like the DGT).
My 1990 custom is not perfect by any stretch. It's a player, which is why it was cheap (well, it's all relative). Anyway It could certainly use the upgrades from a master. But then it wouldn't be original, and that would make me sad a little. Warts and all, I love it as it is.Ok, so PRS offers to take back your vintage instrument, put all the new updates on it. What do you do? Are you going to send it back? Accept every change? Accept some?
I'd have a hard time deciding with my 96 CE24. I really like it how it is with mods I have done to it. SD pickups, mann trem, etc...
Has anyone done this? I'm curious what the changes are.I met Paul at a guitar show in Philly last year. I told him I have a 1990 CE24 and 2006 Hollowbody Spruce. His response was "Can I have them back and make them better", then smiling.
Same here. As an example, I'd send my WL 594 in for a pup upgrade, but leave the tuners (phase III) alone. However... I wouldn't send my 594 soapy in. It needs nothing!I'd let him rework a some, there are three I'd say no thanks. They do exactly what I want. No change necessary.
Yep, my McSoapy is one of the 3. The others are a Custom 24AP and a CE22 with Dragon 1's.Same here. As an example, I'd send my WL 594 in for a pup upgrade, but leave the tuners (phase III) alone. However... I wouldn't send my 594 soapy in. It needs nothing!
