Cool. I'll work something up!!
+1 - But its a bit too late for me. I just pulled the trigger. Will post pics as soon as I have the new guitar in my handsI mean, there’s no rush. But yeah! I’d love to hear some clean tones of the singles, mainly 5&4 (Strat) approximations.
Since you asked, and your videos are great, I would like to hear clean tones, single coil, neck pick up - a buesy solo, and I would like to hear a clean funky strum in single positions 2&4 (like in Pick Up the Pieces or something along those lines)Thanks!!! I used to be a teacher. Sometimes I think I talk too much, lol.
Right on!! I'll do that asap (for real) - I've needed a push to do another. You want clean, right? Or a couple of types of sounds? I'll do 250 and 500K. Gimme some insight on what you'd like to hear.

Thanks again for posting the videos
Please be patient. When I get it in my hands, I will share pics. It will be traveling from the midwest to Southern California, so I am expecting it towards the middle to end of next week. My town is always the last stop on the delivery vehicles, so it won't arrive until late in the day on the day it is delivered (at least based on past expereience).Now you have to give us a hint which one

As I noted earlier, I have a WL ME V on pre-order from Brian's. I've felt a bit guilty about it, since it is not a small sum of money for just one guitar - I used to tell myself I would stick below a certain budget, and this is easily twice that amount.They have beautiful single coil sounds is all I could say. The TCI pick ups are incredible. I’m attaching the PRS video link listen to the single coil sounds. I believe they are Strat sounding but I don’t have a Strat or Telle anymore to compare them to. Single coil sounds are much different than original 408 pickups before these TCI versions. They sound incredible I don’t think you’d be disappointed, check out the video.
Awesome! I am quite sure you will love it! Yes, please post pics!+1 - But its a bit too late for me. I just pulled the trigger. Will post pics as soon as I have the new guitar in my hands
Right after I got mine I had @garrett over with his killer purple 594. We both love the 594 and it was fun going back and forth with the different guitars comparing tones and rigs. Don't remember specifics, it was back in 2020. I do remember it was a fun day. Maybe @garrett will chime in with anything he remembers.
The main thing I remember was liking the neck pickup in single coil mode on the MEV, but not so much the bridge pickup in single mode. I preferred the beefier single coil sound of the older Brent Mason pickup in my SE One.
They had a violet one, but my Chief Household Officer (wife) liked this one betterThat's very nice!
Sergio will provide a luke-warm response, but don't worry, it's just that he hates blue. Me, on the other hand, loves me some blue!
Subscribed!!My ME-V is a killer guitar. Never regretted selling the 4 other PRS guitars it took to get it. It easily does what I liked about the Paul's Guitar and the Brent Mason - both of which I sold to get the ME-V.
I am terrible at keeping up with my YouTube videos, but I have two up...
The Sig Limited is the prettiest sounding guitar for me. It’s quite amazing how much sweeter it sounds ( to my ear) in the neck position compared with a first year Paul’s guitar I also have. They technically have the same pickup but sound miles apart . The Sig breaks into sweet harmonic trails for breakfast and sustains till lunchYes, the guitar sounds absolutely great.
I've loved the 408 pickups ever since having one of the early 408-based Signature Limiteds. I also had a later 408, and then got that PS 20 Limited model in 2016. The PS20 Ltd. is still the prettiest sounding guitar I own, hands down (though the coils don't split like the Sig Ltd or 408). The PS20 sits in the ultimate sonic sweet spot for me.
One thing about creating a Strat sound that's rarely discussed:
While part of what makes the tone is the pickup configuration, a big part is also the fact that the pickups sit on a plastic pick guard over a body routed for them, and the woods and construction methods. Without that stuff, the guitar can't really sound like a Strat because the guitar's resonances and frequency characteristics are different. But then, I'm not a huge Strat fan, I like the warmer sounds of humbuckers, P-90s, and set-neck instruments. I was a Gibson player for a 25 years before getting into PRS, so I guess part of this whole tone thing is what one's used to.
