Thanks Hunter!!

Agree. That is the coolest fretboard I have ever seen. Does this belong to anyone around here???

Koa is my wood of choice but everything coming out of the Private Stock area is stunning.

Thank for the link Rob. This is one more reason to celebrate TGIF or should I say TGIPSF.

Is that Tim Mahoney's new guitar as your profile pic? I saw that one up close at one of their shows this summer, it's stunning!

Sure is! I've been a fan of 311 for many years now. Their concerts are so full of energy and it's a real buzz to see everyone grooving to the band.

Tim is such an under-rated guitarist. He has an amazing variety of styles in his arsenal. When I saw his new PRS on the 311 Facebook page, that easily became my favorite guitar of all time.

I thought it only fitting to have a 311 inspired forum name and an avatar of Tim's guitar.

and a few from last week I had to hold on to because the PS 20th Anniversary model hadn't been released yet!

Hunter - any info on why the 24.6" scale on the PS 20th Anniversary?

I'm going to wildly speculate and say it's because that's what most Les Pauls made in the classic era are measured to have had. Just a guess, of course.

Here's what an article in Guitar Player had to say about scale length (http://www.guitarplayer.com/miscellaneous/1139/5-things-about-scale-length/13523):

"The inherent tonal character of different scale lengths is the main reason that it’s very difficult to “fake” one major maker’s tone with the guitar of another. Since Gibson largely uses the 24.75" (actually closer to 24.6") and Fender 25.5", we tend to associate these “sounds” with those classic makers."

It's all so delicious. Nice prismatic maple inlay guits. And the beachfade birds of a feather are killer.

A newby question... how do you insert a photo? It asks for a URL instead of a file location on your computer.

 

[vchizzle]

Anyone know what the top wood of the SCHB in the 2nd pic is? Very cool. That new Archtop looks killer too.

Happy Friday all!
